At a glance

Orientation in the Convex ecosystem — what lives in which repository, where the specs and docs are, and which client libraries exist.

  • You need context that is not in this repository
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Ecosystem is an agent skill from Convex-Dev/convex. Orientation in the Convex ecosystem — what lives in which repository, where the specs and docs are, and which client libraries exist. Use when you need context that is not in this repository.

Its SKILL.md is about 160 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Convex Main Repository - Decentralised platform for the Internet of Value.

When your agent uses it

  • You need context that is not in this repository

Example prompts

  • “/ecosystem”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0fec9b9. 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

Ecosystem loads about 159 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 50 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
~50
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~159

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 (~159 tokens).

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

When should I use Ecosystem?

Ecosystem fits situations like: you need context that is not in this repository.

How do I install Ecosystem in Claude Code?

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

How do I install Ecosystem in Codex?

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

Can I use Ecosystem 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 ecosystem -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/ecosystem, .gemini/skills/ecosystem, .github/skills/ecosystem and .opencode/skills/ecosystem in your project.

What does Ecosystem need to run?

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

Does Ecosystem 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 Ecosystem 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 Ecosystem use?

How many tokens does Ecosystem use?

About 159 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 636 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 Ecosystem?
