Install
npx skills add get-convex/convex-backend-skill --skill workflow
Runs the open skills CLI and installs the skill for your agent (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor …). Alternatively copy the skill folder into .claude/skills/ or upload it in Claude.ai under Settings → Skills.
As a Claude Code plugin
/plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-plugins-official
/plugin install convex@convex
This skill is part of the plugin “convex”. In Claude Code the plugin installs it together with the plugin’s other skills, commands and hooks.

Questions about workflow
What does the workflow skill do?
Build a durable multi-step pipeline on Convex where each step runs in order and is retried independently on failure (transcribe→summarize→email, ETL, order fulfillment, any 'do A then B then C, retry each' job). Use @convex-dev/workflow — do NOT hand-roll a chain of scheduler calls or a custom jobs table. TRIGGER on multi-step / pipeline / 'retry each step' / long-running orchestration requests.
How do I install workflow?
In a terminal: npx skills add get-convex/convex-backend-skill --skill workflow. The skills CLI asks which agents to install it for. In Claude.ai you can upload the skill folder as a ZIP under Settings → Skills.
Which agents can use workflow?
Skills use the open SKILL.md format, which Claude Code, Claude.ai, the Claude API, OpenAI Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI and other agents support.
Is workflow safe to use?
Our automatic check found no risky patterns (piped shell scripts, hidden characters, secret access, prompt overrides). It is not a full audit – read the SKILL.md and any scripts before installing.

Add a capability to the CURRENT Convex app — consults the served Convex capability catalog for always-current procedures (billing, crons, auth, agent, search, …); falls back to built-in hosting or @convex-dev component search. TRIGGER when the user runs /add, or asks to add hosting/publishing or any backend capability to an existing Convex app.
Add an AI agent / chatbot / RAG backend on Convex with @convex-dev/agent (durable threads, messages, tools, vector search). TRIGGER when the user wants an AI assistant/chatbot/agent or 'chat with my docs' feature. Calls models through the Convex AI Gateway — no provider key to manage.
Add authentication to the current Convex + web app — passkeys by default (OAuth/password optional), wired end to end incl. the auth.config.ts that's the #1 auth footgun. TRIGGER when the user wants login / sign-in / accounts / passkeys / OAuth for an existing app.
Add Stripe billing/payments/subscriptions to a Convex app via @convex-dev/stripe — checkout action, auto-verified webhook, server-side subscription gating. TRIGGER when the user wants payments/billing/subscriptions/a paywall/Stripe.
Audit and harden a Convex app's authorization: identity-from-arg impersonation, missing per-document ownership checks, public queries leaking data by a client-supplied id, and writes into a parent/container the caller doesn't own. Scans for the 4 shapes, applies requireIdentity/requireOwner, verifies with tsc. TRIGGER on 'secure my app', 'audit auth/authz', 'who can access this data'. SKIP when there is no convex/ directory.
Set up recurring scheduled jobs (crons) on Convex — digests, cleanups, polling, retries. TRIGGER when the user wants a recurring/scheduled task ('every day/hour', cron, periodic cleanup). Targets internal functions, idempotent handlers.
Design and build reactive, type-safe, production-grade backends on Convex. Covers schema, queries/mutations/actions, indexes, auth, file storage, scheduling, real-time multiplayer, mobile backends, and LLM/agent workflows on Convex's one-platform stack.
Wire a domain the user ALREADY OWNS (GoDaddy/Namecheap/Cloudflare/…) to their Convex app: exact DNS records, custom-domain attachment, auth-origin rebind. TRIGGER when the user owns a domain and wants it pointing at their app ('point my domain at this', 'use my own domain', 'set up example.com'). Never asks for registrar credentials.

Generate an interactive bash wizard that walks a human through steps only they can perform.

This skill should be used when the user wants to "deploy an agent", "deploy my ADK agent", "set up CI/CD", "configure secrets", "troubleshoot a deployment", or needs guidance on Agent Runtime, Cloud Run, or GKE deployment targets, or binding an agent to an Agent Gateway.

Do NOT use for agent API code patterns (ADK: use google-agents-cli-adk-code), evaluation (use google-agents-cli-eval), or project scaffolding (use google-agents-cli-scaffold).
This skill should be used when the user wants to "create an agent project", "start a new ADK project", "build me a new agent", "add CI/CD to my project", "add deployment", "enhance my project", or "upgrade my project". Part of the agents-cli skills suite. Covers `agents-cli scaffold create`, `scaffold enhance`, and `scaffold upgrade` commands, template options, deployment targets, and the prototype-first workflow. Do NOT use for writing agent code (ADK projects: use google-agents-cli-adk-code) or deployment operations (use google-agents-cli-deploy).
This skill should be used when the user wants to "set up tracing", "monitor my agent", "configure logging", "add observability", "debug production traffic", or needs guidance on monitoring deployed agents, including ADK (Agent Development Kit) agents. Covers Cloud Trace, prompt-response logging, BigQuery Agent Analytics, third-party integrations (AgentOps, Phoenix, MLflow, etc.), and troubleshooting. Part of the agents-cli skills suite. Do NOT use for deployment setup (use google-agents-cli-deploy) or API code patterns (use google-agents-cli-adk-code).
Deploy and operate apps on Prisma Compute with the Prisma 8 CLI. Use whenever the user mentions Prisma Compute, deploying or hosting a Prisma app, `prisma deploy`, `prisma dev module.ts`, Prisma Composer apps (`module.ts`, `compute()`, the `composer` section of `prisma.config.ts`), preview stages, deploy on push (`prisma git connect`, `prisma/cloud-deploy-action`), `prisma service` logs, versions, rollback, or custom domains, `project env`, `PRISMA_SERVICE_TOKEN`, regions, 504s, sleeping instances, or `waitUntil`; also when a project still uses the removed `@prisma/cli app deploy`, `prisma.compute.ts`, `defineComputeConfig`, `compute:deploy`, or `build logs` surface.
Deploy applications and websites to Vercel. Use when the user requests deployment actions like "deploy my app", "deploy and give me the link", "push this live", or "create a preview deployment".
