Builder Skills for Codex
Builder skills for Convex apps. Convex patterns plus a PRD, task.md, changelog, and files.md workflow for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and OpenCode.
How to install Builder Skills in Codex
In Codex, ask the built-in skill installer for it:
$skill-installer install the <skill> skill from https://github.com/waynesutton/builder-skillsType this in Codex and replace <skill> with a folder name from 'What it contains'. $skill-installer is the skill installer built into Codex, and it downloads the skill from GitHub. Restart Codex if the skill doesn't show up. Check the repo README for any setup it needs. Source: Codex skills docs.
Or copy the skill folder (the one with SKILL.md) into ~/.agents/skills to use it in every project, or into .agents/skills in a repo to share it with that repo. Codex picks up new skills automatically. (where Codex loads skills)

Skills (19)
avoid-feature-creep— Keeps a change scoped to what was asked. Flags extra features, refactors, and 'while we are here' edits, and moves them to a suggestions list instead of the diff. Use when a request is small and the agent is about to expand it, when a PRD grows beyond its…convex-agents— Builds AI agents on the Convex agent component: threads, messages, tools that call queries and mutations, streaming, RAG with vector search, and workflows for multi step jobs. Use when adding a chat assistant, tool calling agent, or retrieval feature to a…convex-best-practices— Production patterns for Convex apps and the rules the @convex-dev/eslint-plugin enforces: validators, indexes, idempotent mutations, avoiding OCC conflicts, thin function wrappers, error handling. Use when reviewing Convex code, asking whether a pattern is…convex-component-authoring— Creates reusable Convex components with defineComponent, a clean client wrapper, their own schema, and an npm publish setup. Use when extracting a feature into a package, building something for the Convex component directory, or when a component's functions…convex-cron-jobs— Schedules work in Convex: cron jobs in convex/crons.ts, one off scheduled functions with runAfter and runAt, batching large jobs, and cancelling or inspecting the queue. Use when something needs to run on a timer, later, or in the background, or when a cron…convex-file-storage— Handles files in Convex: upload URLs, storing blobs from actions, serving with getUrl or an HTTP action, metadata from the _storage table, and deletion. Use when users upload images or documents, when an action fetches a file from a third party, or when a…convex-functions— Writes Convex queries, mutations, actions, and internal functions in the object form with args and returns validators, correct ctx usage, runtime boundaries, and error handling. Use when adding or changing anything in convex/*.ts that exports a function, or…convex-http-actions— Adds HTTP endpoints in convex/http.ts: webhook receivers with signature checks, REST style routes, CORS, auth headers, streaming responses, and file uploads over HTTP. Use when integrating Stripe, Clerk, Resend, or any service that calls back into the app…convex-migrations— Changes a live Convex schema without downtime: make a field optional, backfill in batches, flip the validator, then clean up. Uses the @convex-dev/migrations component where it fits. Use when renaming or removing a field, changing a type, splitting a table…convex-realtime— Builds reactive UIs on Convex subscriptions: useQuery patterns, optimistic updates, pagination that stays live, presence, and avoiding subscription churn. Use when wiring the frontend to Convex, when data does not update live, or when a page rerenders too…convex-schema-validator— Designs convex/schema.ts tables, validators, indexes, and relationships, and keeps the schema honest as data evolves. Use when creating tables, adding fields, choosing index fields, modeling relationships, or when a validator error appears at deploy time.convex-security-audit— Deep security review of a Convex app: authorization model, data access paths per table, HTTP action exposure, rate limiting, file storage access, scheduled function trust, and a written findings report. Use before launch, after an incident, or when the user…convex-security-check— Ten minute security pass over a Convex backend: public functions that should be internal, missing auth checks, unvalidated args, IDs from the client trusted without ownership checks, secrets in code. Use before merging a pull request, after adding new public…convex— Routes Convex work to the right builder skill and covers the handful of rules that apply everywhere: validators on every function, withIndex over filter, idempotent mutations, internal functions for scheduling. Use when a task mentions Convex and no more…git-safety— Stops an agent from destroying uncommitted work with git. Requires git status and git diff before any command that discards changes, treats "revert" and "undo" as manual edits, and never runs reset, checkout, clean, stash drop, or force push without explicit…project-docs— Brings task.md, changelog.md, and files.md back in sync with what the code says shipped. Reads git history and the working tree, never memory, and refuses to log features it cannot see in source. Use when a feature or fix lands, when the user says "update…project-workflow— Runs multi step work the way a careful senior engineer would. Triage before code, a short PRD in prds/, task.md kept current, docs synced after, and lessons recorded when a mistake repeats. Use when a task spans several files or steps, changes architecture…dev— House style for full stack Convex work in this project: type safe code, terse answers, Convex mutation rules, design system over browser defaults, and the files.md / changelog.md / task.md habit. Edit this file to match the project. Use when writing or…help— Think before typing. Root cause first, two candidate fixes, pick one, ask if still unclear, then change only the files the request needs. Edit the confidence bar and scope rules to fit the project. Use when a bug report comes in, when a previous fix did not…
