What it does

Convex Retention is an agent skill from openclaw/clawhub. Use when adding or changing ClawHub Convex tables, TTL fields, cleanup crons, retention policy, auth/session cleanup, metric dedupe cleanup, or deprecated table removal

Its SKILL.md is about 450 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 Productivity & Automation, covering Scheduled and recurring tasks. The repository describes itself as: Skill + Plugin Registry for OpenClaw. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Changing ClawHub Convex tables
  • Retention policy
  • Auth/session cleanup
  • Metric dedupe cleanup

Example prompts

  • “/convex-retention”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d044664. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • bunx

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use bunx, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Convex Retention loads about 448 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 46 tokens; SKILL.md has 192 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~46
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~448

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.

Convex Retention

Overview

ClawHub retention is code-owned. Every current Convex table must be classified in convex/lib/retentionPolicy.ts, and ephemeral tables need an indexed, bounded cleanup path unless their lifecycle is handled by usage-time validation or a documented component.

Checklist

  • Use clawhub-convex and read convex/_generated/ai/guidelines.md first.
  • Add every new schema table to RETENTION_POLICIES; the Record<TableNames, RetentionPolicy> type is the enforcement gate.
  • For ephemeral tables, prefer an explicit expiration field plus index, then prune with .withIndex() and .take(...).
  • For new generic TTL tables, prefer expirationTime to match Convex Auth. Keep existing expiresAt, dayStart, and processedAt fields unless that table already needs a real migration.
  • Use RETENTION_STANDARD_BATCH_SIZE for ordinary retention jobs. Keep incident-tested special cases, such as skillStatEvents, on their documented caps.
  • Cron jobs should schedule bounded cleanup entrypoints only. Large one-off production migrations or destructive backfills still start with convex-migration-helper.
  • Do not bulk-clear active auth state. Expired authSessions and authRefreshTokens are pruned by convex/retention.ts.

Verification

  • Add or update focused tests for policy classification and cleanup behavior.
  • Run the focused Vitest slice for touched cleanup modules.
  • Run bunx convex codegen after schema/API changes.
  • Run a real Convex runtime check such as bunx convex dev --once --typecheck=disable.
