What it does

Deploy is an agent skill from Convex-Dev/convex. Deploy an actor (smart contract) to the Convex network. Use when the user wants to create a new on-chain actor with exported functions.

Its SKILL.md is about 140 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Smart contracts. The repository describes itself as: Convex Main Repository - Decentralised platform for the Internet of Value.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9e199a3. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Deploy loads about 143 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 36 tokens; SKILL.md has 48 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~36
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~143

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 48 words (~143 tokens).

“This is the Codex discovery entry for the canonical shared skill at .claude/skills/deploy/SKILL.md.”

Questions about Deploy

What does Deploy do?

Deploy an actor (smart contract) to the Convex network. An agent skill from Convex-Dev/convex. Deploy is an agent skill from Convex-Dev/convex. Deploy an actor (smart contract) to the Convex network.

When should I use Deploy?

Deploy fits situations like: the user wants to create a new on-chain actor with exported functions; tasks that involve Smart contracts.

How do I install Deploy in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add Convex-Dev/convex --skill deploy -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.agents/skills/deploy in Convex-Dev/convex) into .claude/skills/deploy in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Deploy in Codex?

Run `npx skills add Convex-Dev/convex --skill deploy -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.agents/skills/deploy in Convex-Dev/convex) into .agents/skills/deploy in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Deploy in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add Convex-Dev/convex --skill deploy -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/deploy, .gemini/skills/deploy, .github/skills/deploy and .opencode/skills/deploy in your project.

What does Deploy need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Deploy is instructions for the agent only.

Does Deploy access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Deploy safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Deploy use?

Deploy has a licence file (the repository's licence) that doesn't match a standard licence. Read it on GitHub before reusing the skill.

How many tokens does Deploy use?

About 143 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 572 characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to Deploy?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Deploy: Fizz Convert (pashov/skills, 1.2k stars), Solana Dev (solana-foundation/solana-dev-skill, 571 stars), Feynman Auditor (0xiehnnkta/nemesis-auditor, 244 stars) and Smart Contract Audit (greatpie/smart-contract-audit-skill, 101 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.

Who maintains Deploy?

Convex-Dev (a GitHub organization) maintains it in Convex-Dev/convex, which has 117 GitHub stars. The repository holds 12 skills in this directory. The repository was last updated on October 6, 2026.
