confirm-cost for paid... -- **convex-docs**: Pull version-current Convex docs for the version this project uses — pin the installed version, fetch page-as-markdown or check node_modules types, freshness hierarchy — instead... -- **convex-expert**: Convex backend specialist. -- **convex-insights**: Query a running Convex app's logs + health in natural language (official MCP): failures, slow/expensive functions, deploy causality — scoped, evidence-backed, with a dashboard d... -- **convex-reviewer**: Convex code reviewer — security, auth, validators, performance, and pattern checks for code in a convex/ directory. -- **convex-verify**: Prove a Convex feature works — seed, drive as multiple mocked users via convex-test, assert behavior including the negative authz cases (wrong user refused, data-scope enforced). -- **convex-crons**: Add recurring scheduled jobs (crons) to the Convex app. -- **convex-deploy-guard**: Classify + announce the target Convex deployment before any deployment-affecting command; fresh explicit consent for prod actions; session read-only mode. -- **convex-design**: Design and build reactive, type-safe, production-grade backends on Convex. -- **convex-domains**: Point a domain you already own at your Convex app (DNS records, custom-domain attach, auth-origin rebind). -- **convex-env**: Set and wire Convex deployment env vars / secrets for the app. -- **convex-explain-app**: Explain an existing Convex app — data model + relationships, public vs internal functions, auth/ownership model, components, a request→data flow — read from the schema and funct... -- **convex-improve-convex-plugin**: Send this coding session's transcript to the Convex team for an AI post-mortem that improves the quickstart system. -- **convex-launch-readiness**: Run every Convex audit (authz, reviewer, advisor, insights) into one scored, deduped readiness report with an ordered fix plan — Lighthouse for your backend. -- **convex-migrate-rehearse**: Rehearse a live-app schema change + backfill on a snapshot-seeded preview deployment, verify, then promote the proven change to prod with the snapshot as rollback. -- **convex-migrate**: Migrate schema + backfill data on a deployed Convex app using @convex-dev/migrations. -- **convex-monitor**: Watch for the next dev/prod error or request in a Convex app and react to it. -- **convex-optimize**: Audit and optimize an existing Convex app: security, scale, upgrades, observability. -- **convex-quickstart**: Get a barebones Convex + web template running from a one-sentence idea. -- **convex-seed**: Seed or import data into the Convex database. -- **convex-self-heal**: Production error → triaged, root-caused, repaired, and certified (tsc + rehearsal + reproduce-then-gone) fix PR for a human to merge — then confirm the error stops recurring. -- **convex-sentinel**: Set up Sentinel production error capture in your own Convex deployment. -- **convex-ship**: Publish the current Convex app to a live *.convex.app URL (deploy backend + upload web build). -- **convex-suggest**: Suggest the matching Convex component when the user hand-rolls a pattern it already solves (crons, sharded-counter, rate-limiter, storage, search, presence, workflow, RAG, prose... -- **convex-test**: Generate convex-test tests for the app's Convex functions.
