convex-quickstart

convex-quickstart is a skill for Codex from raroque/boop-agent. It costs 43 tokens per session (2,696 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A setup guide for adding Convex, a backend service for storing data and running server-side functions, to a new or existing application.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create a new Convex project or add Convex to React, Next.js, Vue, Svelte, or another app, then verify the first development run.
Why use it?
It helps connect the frontend, install the required package, configure environment variables, and start the Convex development workflow.

Skill for Codex

Written for Codex: agents/openai.yaml present. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

Not installable on its own: it reads a path above its own folder, which only exists inside its repository. The line is import { api } from "../convex/_generated/api";.

About the project

Boop is a personal agent that people use through iMessage, backed by either the Claude Agent SDK or the local Codex app-server runtime. It provides memory, sub-agents, automations, and integrations such as Gmail, Slack, GitHub, Linear, and Notion.

Getting it into your agent

There is no command for this one: it runs only inside a plugin, and the catalogue could not identify which plugin ships it. The source is linked below.

Made for: Codex.

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 6d 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.

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:

Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
