Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned violabg/dev-quiz-battle at e2c519e5c9.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to develop backend applications using Convex, a fullstack Firebase alternative. It handles data modeling, authentication, and API routes directly within the Convex environment. The agent can generate code for database schemas, functions, and endpoints based on user specifications or existing designs.

When to use it

  • Rapid prototyping: Quickly build and deploy backend functionality without managing separate server infrastructure.
  • Fullstack application development: Create complete applications with both frontend and backend logic handled by the agent.
  • Backend API creation: Generate custom APIs for mobile apps or other services that require data access and manipulation.
  • Database schema design: Define and implement database structures within a Convex project.

Key capabilities

  • Data modeling (defining schemas)
  • Authentication management
  • API route generation
  • Function creation
  • Convex environment setup

Example prompts

  • "Create a Convex backend with a 'users' collection containing name and email fields."
  • "Generate an API endpoint in Convex to retrieve all products from the database."
  • “Implement authentication using email and password for my Convex application.”

Tips & gotchas

  • Requires familiarity with basic programming concepts.
  • Convex is a relatively new technology; ensure the agent has access to up-to-date documentation or examples.
