convex-feature-spec

Generate a complete Convex-first feature specification for a repo, including data model, API surface, rollout, and verification. Use when the user wants a new feature plan or architecture spec centered on Convex contracts. Do not use for audits of the existing implementation; use convex-audit for that.

Convex Feature Spec

Use this skill for green-field or breaking-change-tolerant feature planning where the output is a complete implementation spec.

Workflow

  1. Read the repo AGENTS.md.
  2. Run ~/.codex/skill-support/bin/convex-scan inventory --cwd <repo> --out <json> to ground the current backend surface.
  3. Read references/feature-spec.md.
  4. Read references/components.md if the feature may use existing Convex components or reusable backend patterns.
  5. Read references/rollout-and-migration.md before finalizing any spec that changes schema, auth, or rollout order.
  6. Research the active APIs before locking any non-trivial design.
  7. Output an implementation-ready spec with task order, interfaces, risks, and verification.

Use When

  • The user asks for a new feature spec, a Convex-first architecture plan, or a complete backend-driven design.
  • The repo uses Convex and the planning output must include schema and function contracts.

Do Not Use When

  • The task is reviewing or fixing the current implementation.
  • The task is just docs alignment or dependency work.

Outputs

  • feature objective
  • schema and function contract changes
  • rollout and migration plan
  • ordered implementation and verification steps
