What does the agent skill do?
Add an AI agent / chatbot / RAG backend on Convex with @convex-dev/agent (durable threads, messages, tools, vector search). TRIGGER when the user wants an AI assistant/chatbot/agent or 'chat with my docs' feature. Calls models through the Convex AI Gateway — no provider key to manage.
How do I install agent?
In a terminal: npx skills add get-convex/convex-backend-skill --skill agent. 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 agent?
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 agent 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.
