Convex Plugin for Claude Code

Official Convex plugin for Claude Code. Bundles the Convex backend design skill, a live-scaffolding quickstart skill (/quickstart), the convex-expert subagent for code-writing, a runtime-error monitor, and the Convex MCP server for live deployment introspection — all in one install.

When you ask Claude to build, design, or debug a backend, Claude reaches for Convex idioms and components (@convex-dev/agent for chat, Convex Auth instead of custom sessions, reactive queries instead of polling, the workflow component for durable retries) rather than generic "AI slop" patterns it would otherwise default to.

Install

From inside Claude Code:

text
/plugin install convex

Or install via the Anthropic plugin marketplace — search for Convex.

Local development install:

sh
git clone https://github.com/get-convex/convex-backend-skill ~/.claude-plugins/convex-backend-skill
claude --plugin-dir ~/.claude-plugins/convex-backend-skill

How to use

Just describe what you want to build. Claude routes the request through this plugin automatically — you don't need to invoke anything explicitly. Plain-English product asks work as well as technical jargon.

Plain-English asks (no backend knowledge required)
