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.

What does the crons skill do?

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.

Description from the SKILL.md in the source repository.

Questions about crons

What does the crons skill do?

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.

How do I install crons?

In a terminal: npx skills add get-convex/convex-backend-skill --skill crons. 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 crons?

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 crons 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.

domains
get-convex/convex-backend-skill

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.

Development curated
No risky patterns found
env
get-convex/convex-backend-skill

Set + wire deployment env vars / secrets (API keys) for a Convex app — stored in Convex env, read in actions, never hardcoded. TRIGGER when the user needs an API key/secret/env var ('add my OpenAI key', 'set an env var').

labs-quickstart
get-convex/convex-backend-skill

LABS — scaffold a running Next.js + shadcn Convex app with passkey sign-in and a live Chef feedback panel, then build and verify it locally. TRIGGER for the full/labs quickstart, passkeys, or the feedback panel in a new app. For a plain scaffold use quickstart. Legacy convex.app publishing is retired; use a separate hosting workflow if requested. SKIP when a Convex project already exists in the cwd.

Frontend & UI curated
Worth a look
migrate
get-convex/convex-backend-skill

Safely migrate the schema + backfill data on a deployed Convex app with @convex-dev/migrations. TRIGGER when changing the schema on a live app, backfilling data, or after a schema-validation error from a change. SKIP a fresh local app.

Data & Databases curated
No risky patterns found
quickstart
get-convex/convex-backend-skill

Scaffold a brand-new Convex app from a one-sentence idea and build it live — a running Next.js + shadcn app with `convex dev` + `next dev` and error watchers already armed, going from idea to running app in under a minute (locally).

Frontend & UI curated
Worth a look
seed
get-convex/convex-backend-skill

Seed the Convex database with starter/fixture data or import an existing dataset (CSV/JSON). TRIGGER when the user wants sample/seed data or to import a dataset into Convex. Idempotent, schema-matching.

Data & Databases curated
No risky patterns found
suggest
get-convex/convex-backend-skill

Proactively suggest the right Convex component when the user hand-rolls what already exists: setInterval polling → crons, counter increments → sharded-counter, .collect() counts → aggregate, email → resend, DB-counter rate limiting → rate-limiter, uploads → storage, search, presence, multi-step actions → workflow, vector DB → rag, collaborative editing → prosemirror-sync. TRIGGER on noticing the pattern in a Convex app, AFTER completing the user's request. NEVER for non-Convex code.
