convex-migrate-rehearse

convex-migrate-rehearse is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from get-convex/agent-skills. It costs 42 tokens per session (1,078 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of convex-migrate-rehearse, Apache-2.0.

A rehearsal workflow for changing the data structure of a live Convex application and updating its existing records. It tests the change on a preview deployment loaded from a snapshot, then promotes the verified result to production with that snapshot available for rollback.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for rehearsing schema changes and data backfills, verifying them on a snapshot-seeded preview app, and promoting the proven change to production.
Why use it?
It lets you discover migration problems before changing the live app and preserves a recovery point if the promoted change fails.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

convex-migrate-rehearse scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Rehearse a schema change on a preview before prod

A schema push on Convex validates every existing document against the new schema and FAILS the push if any row doesn't conform — a real data-conformance gate. The safe way to use that gate is to let it fail on a rehearsal copy, not on prod. This capability turns a preview deployment into that copy: seed it with a prod snapshot, push the new schema + run the backfill there, watch the gate, and only promote once it's green. It composes deploy-guard (target classification), migrate (the optional-then-tighten pattern), and @convex-dev/migrations (the batched, resumable backfill).

Workflow

  1. PRECONDITION: preview deployments need a Preview Deploy Key (dashboard → Project Settings → Deploy Keys → Preview) exported as CONVEX_DEPLOY_KEY before any --preview-create/--preview-name deploy — a plain npx convex login session cannot create previews, and this is a paid-tier feature. If no preview key is available, fall back to rehearsing on the personal dev deployment seeded with the snapshot, and say so.
  2. GUARD: deploy-guard — classify + announce the SOURCE (prod, being read) and the eventual TARGET (prod, being changed); get the fresh explicit yes for the prod promote up front and confirm the plan.
  3. SNAPSHOT the source data read-only: npx convex export --path snapshot.zip (from the deployment holding the real data; add --include-file-storage only if the migration touches files). This is a read; it changes nothing.
  4. CREATE the preview FROM THE PRE-CHANGE CODE — do this BEFORE editing schema.ts, so the preview starts on the schema the snapshot data already conforms to: npx convex deploy --preview-create migrate-<slug> (needs the preview key; auto-expires ~5 days). Seed it: npx convex import snapshot.zip --deployment migrate-<slug> (import targets a deployment by NAME with --deployment; there is no --preview-name flag on import). The import succeeds because the data still matches the old schema.
  5. REHEARSE on the preview, in the migrate order — each push is npx convex deploy --preview-name migrate-<slug> (re-deploys to the SAME preview, keeping its data; NOT convex dev, which targets personal dev): (a) make the new/changed field OPTIONAL and deploy — if existing rows violate it the push FAILS HERE on the copy with the offending shape; fix and re-push until green. (b) write a @convex-dev/migrations backfill and run it against the preview; verify every row is now valid. (c) tighten the validator (required / narrowed union) and deploy again — the gate now passes because the backfill ran.
  6. VERIFY on the preview: run the app's functions against the migrated data (MCP run/runOneoffQuery pointed at the preview, or a smoke query) to confirm behavior and shape.
  7. PROMOTE only on the fresh explicit yes from step 1: apply the SAME sequence to prod (optional schema → backfill → tighten). Because it already succeeded on prod-shaped data, the prod push repeats a proven run. Keep the snapshot as the rollback artifact (npx convex import snapshot.zip --replace --prod); state plainly that data written after the snapshot is lost, so keep the promote window short.
  8. CLEAN UP: the preview auto-expires; delete the local snapshot when done (it holds real data — treat it as sensitive, never commit it).

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
