Automated safety checks
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

About this skill
What it does
The convex-best-practices skill provides guidance on implementing best practices for working with Convex, a database and backend platform designed for building scalable applications. It offers insights into optimizing data structures, managing state efficiently, and ensuring secure and performant operations.
When to use it
- When designing or refactoring a Convex application to ensure scalability and maintainability.
- When troubleshooting performance issues in a Convex-powered app.
- When onboarding new developers to a Convex project and establishing consistent practices.
- When preparing for deployment and ensuring adherence to security and efficiency standards.
Key capabilities
- Guidance on efficient data modeling and schema design.
- Best practices for managing state and handling real-time updates.
- Recommendations for secure access control and authentication strategies.
- Tips for optimizing query performance and reducing latency.
Example prompts
- "How can I optimize my Convex database queries to reduce latency?"
- "What are the best practices for securing a Convex application with user authentication?"
- "Can you explain how to structure data models in Convex for scalability?"
Tips & gotchas
- Ensure your Convex version is up-to-date, as best practices may change with new releases.
- Always test performance improvements locally before deploying them to production.
