What it does
Etch is an agent skill from Convex-Dev/convex. Inspect and maintain an Etch store — Convex's content-addressed database. Use when examining peer storage, diagnosing corruption, garbage collecting, or reading data by hash.
Its SKILL.md is about 150 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
- Examining peer storage
- Diagnosing corruption
- Garbage collecting
- Reading data by hash
Example prompts
- “/etch”
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
Etch loads about 151 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 45 tokens; SKILL.md has 48 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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 (~151 tokens).
“This is the Codex discovery entry for the canonical shared skill at .claude/skills/etch/SKILL.md.”

- etch

Can I use Etch 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 etch -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/etch, .gemini/skills/etch, .github/skills/etch and .opencode/skills/etch in your project.
What does Etch need to run?
