.agents/skills/convex-quickstart/SKILL.md

convex-quickstart is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from praveenjuge/teak. It costs 43 tokens per session (2,734 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of convex-quickstart, MIT.

A setup guide for adding Convex, a backend service for app data and server code, to a new or existing frontend app.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create a new Convex project or connect Convex to a React, Next.js, Vue, Svelte, or similar app.
Why use it?
It removes the guesswork around choosing a starter project, installing Convex, setting environment variables, and starting local development.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is praveenjuge/teak's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on teak itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything teak configures →

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is import { api } from "../convex/_generated/api";.

Borrowing it

Nothing to install: this file belongs to praveenjuge/teak. Take a copy, put it at the same path in your own repository, and replace the rules that are about this project with yours.

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-quickstart 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 2mo 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to convex-quickstart — 74 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Convex Quickstart

Set up a working Convex project as fast as possible.

When to Use

  • Starting a brand new project with Convex
  • Adding Convex to an existing React, Next.js, Vue, Svelte, or other app
  • Scaffolding a Convex app for prototyping

When Not to Use

  • The project already has Convex installed and convex/ exists - just start building
  • You only need to add auth to an existing Convex app - use the convex-setup-auth skill

Workflow

  1. Determine the starting point: new project or existing app
  2. If new project, pick a template and scaffold with npm create convex@latest
  3. If existing app, install convex and wire up the provider
  4. Run npx convex dev to connect a deployment and start the dev loop
  5. Verify the setup works

Use the official scaffolding tool. It creates a complete project with the frontend framework, Convex backend, and all config wired together.

Pick a template

Template Stack
react-vite-shadcn React + Vite + Tailwind + shadcn/ui
nextjs-shadcn Next.js App Router + Tailwind + shadcn/ui
react-vite-clerk-shadcn React + Vite + Clerk auth + shadcn/ui
nextjs-clerk Next.js + Clerk auth
nextjs-convexauth-shadcn Next.js + Convex Auth + shadcn/ui
nextjs-lucia-shadcn Next.js + Lucia auth + shadcn/ui
bare Convex backend only, no frontend

If the user has not specified a preference, default to react-vite-shadcn for simple apps or nextjs-shadcn for apps that need SSR or API routes.

You can also use any GitHub repo as a template:

npm create convex@latest my-app -- -t owner/repo
npm create convex@latest my-app -- -t owner/repo#branch

Scaffold the project

Always pass the project name and template flag to avoid interactive prompts:

Changes

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.
