Questions about seed
What does the seed skill do?
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.
How do I install seed?
In a terminal: npx skills add get-convex/convex-backend-skill --skill seed. 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 seed?
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 seed 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.
