Run convex-doctor static analysis, interpret findings, and fix issues across security, performance, correctness, schema, and architecture categories. Use when running convex-doctor, fixing convex-doctor warnings or errors, improving the convex-doctor score, or when asked about Convex code quality, static analysis, or linting Convex functions.

Initialize a new Convex project from scratch or add Convex to an existing app. Use when starting a new project with Convex, scaffolding a Convex app, or integrating Convex into an existing frontend.

Guide for when to use and when not to use return validators in Convex functions. Use this skill whenever the user is writing Convex queries, mutations, or actions and needs guidance on return value validation. Also trigger when the user asks about Convex type safety, runtime validation, AI-generated Convex code, Convex AI rules, Convex security best practices, or when they're debugging return type issues in Convex functions. Trigger this skill when users mention "validators", "returns", "return type", or "exact types" in the context of Convex development. Also trigger when writing or reviewing Convex AI rules or prompts that instruct LLMs how to write Convex code.

Integrate Convex static self hosting into existing apps using the latest upstream instructions from get-convex/self-hosting every time. Use when setting up upload APIs, HTTP routes, deployment scripts, migration from external hosting, or troubleshooting static deploy issues across React, Vite, Next.js, and other frontends.

Create Convex queries, mutations, and actions with proper validation, authentication, and error handling. Use when implementing new API endpoints.

Critical Git safety rules to prevent destructive operations. Use whenever performing git operations, reverting changes, or managing commits. Prevents accidental loss of work.

Plan and execute Convex schema migrations safely, including adding fields, creating tables, and data transformations. Use when schema changes affect existing data.

Combine React's official "You Might Not Need an Effect" guidance with this project's stricter no direct useEffect stance. Use when writing, reviewing, or refactoring React components that might reach for useEffect, derived state, event relays, reset logic, subscriptions, or client fetching.

Build reactive, type-safe, production-grade backends. ALWAYS use this skill when the user asks to build, plan, design, or implement backend features, APIs, data models, server logic, database schemas, web apps, full stack apps, or mobile apps. This includes planning and architecture discussions.

Design and generate Convex database schemas with proper validation, indexes, and relationships. Use when creating schema.ts or modifying table definitions.

Use this skill after completing any feature, fix, or migration to keep the three core project tracking files in sync.
