What this skill does
# Convex
## Overview
Convex is a reactive backend platform where database queries, mutations, and actions are defined in TypeScript and data automatically syncs to connected clients in real-time. It eliminates WebSocket code, polling, and cache invalidation, providing ACID transactions and optimistic updates out of the box.
## Instructions
- When defining schemas, use `defineSchema()` with `defineTable()` and typed validators (`v.string()`, `v.number()`, `v.id("tableName")`), and define indexes for all filtered and sorted queries.
- When writing functions, use queries for reads (automatically reactive), mutations for writes (transactional, triggers reactive updates), and actions for external API calls (non-transactional).
- When building React UIs, use `useQuery()` for reactive data subscriptions that auto-update, `useMutation()` for writes with optimistic updates, and `usePaginatedQuery()` for infinite scroll.
- When handling authentication, use `convex-auth` for built-in auth or integrate Clerk/Auth0, and validate user identity at the start of every mutation with `ctx.auth.getUserIdentity()`.
- When processing background work, use `ctx.scheduler.runAfter()` for delayed execution and cron jobs for recurring tasks instead of making mutations slow.
- When storing files, use `ctx.storage.store()` for upload and `ctx.storage.getUrl()` for serving URLs without S3 or CDN configuration.
- When implementing search, use full-text search indexes with `searchIndex()` or vector search with `vectorIndex()` for AI/RAG applications, with metadata filtering.
## Examples
### Example 1: Build a real-time chat application
**User request:** "Create a real-time chat app with Convex and React"
**Actions:**
1. Define `messages` table with schema, author reference, and timestamp index
2. Create a query function that returns messages sorted by timestamp
3. Create a mutation for sending messages with auth validation
4. Use `useQuery()` in React to subscribe to messages with automatic real-time updates
**Output:** A chat application where messages appear instantly for all connected users without WebSocket code.
### Example 2: Add full-text and vector search
**User request:** "Implement search across articles with both keyword and semantic search"
**Actions:**
1. Define search index on article body field with `searchIndex()`
2. Define vector index on embedding field with `vectorIndex()`
3. Create query functions for text search and vector similarity search
4. Combine metadata filtering with search for scoped results
**Output:** A dual search system supporting both keyword matching and semantic similarity queries.
## Guidelines
- Use schema validation in production: `defineSchema()` catches type errors at deploy time, not runtime.
- Define indexes for all filtered/sorted queries to ensure efficient data access.
- Use queries for reads, mutations for writes, actions for external APIs; never mix concerns.
- Keep mutations small and fast since they hold a database lock; move heavy processing to actions.
- Use `ctx.scheduler.runAfter()` for background work instead of making mutations slow.
- Validate user identity at the start of every mutation to prevent unauthorized writes.
- Use optimistic updates for interactive UIs; the client sees the change instantly while the server confirms.

jfrog
IncludedInteract with the JFrog Platform via the JFrog CLI and REST/GraphQL APIs. Use this skill when the user wants to manage Artifactory repositories, upload or download artifacts, manage builds, configure permissions, manage users and groups, work with access tokens, configure JFrog CLI servers, search artifacts, manage properties, set up replication, manage JFrog Projects, run security audits or scans, look up CVE details, query exposures scan results from JFrog Advanced Security, manage release bundles and lifecycle operations, aggregate or export platform data, or perform any JFrog Platform administration task. Also use when the user mentions jf, jfrog, artifactory, xray, distribution, evidence, apptrust, onemodel, graphql, workers, mission control, curation, advanced security, exposures, or any JFrog product name.
cupynumeric-migration-readiness
IncludedPre-migration readiness assessor for porting NumPy to cuPyNumeric. Use BEFORE substantial porting work begins when the user asks whether code will scale on GPU, whether they should migrate to cuPyNumeric, which NumPy patterns transfer cleanly, what must be refactored before porting, or mentions pre-port assessment, scaling analysis, or refactor planning. Inspect the user's source code, look up NumPy usage, cross-reference the cuPyNumeric API support manifest, and distinguish distributed-scaling-friendly patterns from blockers such as unsupported APIs, scalar synchronization, host round-trips, Python/object-heavy control flow, shape/data-dependent branching, and in-place mutation hazards. Produce a verdict of READY, LIGHT REFACTOR, SIGNIFICANT REFACTOR, or NOT RECOMMENDED, with concrete refactor pointers.
alibabacloud-data-agent-skill
IncludedInvoke Alibaba Cloud Apsara Data Agent for Analytics via CLI to perform natural language-driven data analysis on enterprise databases. Data Agent for Analytics is an intelligent data analysis agent developed by Alibaba Cloud Database team for enterprise users. It automatically completes requirement analysis, data understanding, analysis insights, and report generation based on natural language descriptions. This tool supports: discovering data resources (instances/databases/tables) managed in DMS, initiating query or deep analysis sessions, real-time progress tracking, and retrieving analysis conclusions and generated reports. Use this Skill when users need to query databases, analyze data trends, generate data reports, ask questions in natural language, or mention "Data Agent", "data analysis", "database query", "SQL analysis", "data insights".
token-optimizer
IncludedReduce OpenClaw token usage and API costs through smart model routing, heartbeat optimization, budget tracking, and native 2026.2.15 features (session pruning, bootstrap size limits, cache TTL alignment). Use when token costs are high, API rate limits are being hit, or hosting multiple agents at scale. The 4 executable scripts (context_optimizer, model_router, heartbeat_optimizer, token_tracker) are local-only — no network requests, no subprocess calls, no system modifications. Reference files (PROVIDERS.md, config-patches.json) document optional multi-provider strategies that require external API keys and network access if you choose to use them. See SECURITY.md for full breakdown.
resend-cli
IncludedUse this skill when the task is specifically about operating Resend from an AI agent, terminal session, or CI job via the official resend CLI: installing/authenticating the CLI, sending/listing/updating/cancelling emails, batch sends, domains and DNS, webhooks and local listeners, inbound receiving, contacts, topics, segments, broadcasts, templates, API keys, profiles, or debugging Resend CLI/API failures. Trigger on mentions of Resend CLI, `resend`, `resend doctor`, `resend emails send`, `resend domains`, `resend webhooks listen`, `resend emails receiving`, or agent-friendly terminal automation.
alibabacloud-odps-maxframe-coding
IncludedUse this skill for MaxFrame SDK development and documentation navigation on Alibaba Cloud MaxCompute (ODPS). Helps answer MaxFrame API, concept, official example, and supported pandas API questions; create data processing programs; read/write MaxCompute tables; debug jobs (remote or local); and build custom DPE runtime images. Trigger when users mention MaxFrame, MaxCompute with MaxFrame, ODPS table processing, DPE runtime, MaxFrame docs/examples, DataFrame/Tensor operations, or GPU runtime setup. Works for both English and Chinese queries about Alibaba Cloud data processing with MaxFrame.
