design

design is a skill for Claude Code from get-convex/convex-backend-skill. It costs 57 tokens per session (12,371 once invoked), scanned C, original, no licence file.

Design and implementation guidance for reactive, type-safe backends on Convex. It covers backend features such as data schemas, database operations, authentication, file storage, scheduling, real-time multiplayer, mobile apps, and AI workflows.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design or build Convex backends, including schemas, queries, mutations, actions, indexes, authentication, storage, schedules, multiplayer features, mobile backends, and AI or agent workflows.
Why use it?
It brings common backend design decisions into one Convex-focused workflow. This helps when an app needs data, users, files, scheduled work, live updates, or multi-step AI operations.

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 C, and why

design scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 8d 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.

Hidden instructionshighPrompt injection

Directives inside HTML comments, invisible characters or bidirectional overrides are read by the model and not by the person reviewing the file.

<!-- AGENT-STREAMING-INTERIM: revert this block when get-convex/agent#295 ships `listUIMessagesWithStreams`. The component's streaming query does not type-check from scratch today (TS2719 on `vStreamMessagesReturnValue`)

What this file has done since we first saw 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.
