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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00108 | $0.02760 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00043 | $0.01104 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00022 | $0.00552 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00276 |
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 1mo 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.
This is a copy
88% identical to convex-quickstart — 2 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 348 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
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-authskill
Workflow
- Determine the starting point: new project or existing app
- If new project, pick a template and scaffold with
npm create convex@latest - If existing app, install
convexand wire up the provider - Run
npx convex devto connect a deployment and start the dev loop - Verify the setup works
Path 1: New Project (Recommended)
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:
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.
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.

convex-quickstart is a skill published in the GitHub repository ReScienceLab/TrySkills (3 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 108 tokens to every session and 2,760 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 88% identical to convex-quickstart, differing in 2 lines, and is treated as a copy.
