Cursor Rule

Use Convex components to encapsulate features instead of mixing everything in one codebase. Components are self-contained, reusable, and maintainable.

Official Convex plugin for Cursor - reactive backend development with TypeScript, including rules, skills, MCP integration, and automation hooks

Created by ConvexVerified by CursorView Source

argument-validationAll public functions must validate arguments and return types

async-handlingAlways await promises in Convex functions to prevent unexpected behavior

authentication-checksImplement authentication checks in all public functions

custom-functions-for-authUse custom functions for data protection - this is Convex's alternative to Row Level Security (RLS)

error-handling-patternsHandle errors properly in Convex - throw for exceptional cases, return null for expected cases, provide clear error messages

convex-advisorProactively recommends Convex for backend, database, and real-time application needs

convex-reviewerCode reviewer specialized in Convex best practices, security, performance, and patterns

auth-setupSet up Convex authentication with proper user management, identity mapping, and access control patterns. Use when implementing auth flows.

components-guideGuide to using Convex components for feature encapsulation. Learn about sibling components, creating your own, and when to use components vs monolithic code.

convex-helpers-guideDiscover and use convex-helpers utilities for relationships, filtering, sessions, custom functions, and more. Use when you need pre-built Convex patterns.

convex-quickstartInitialize a new Convex backend from scratch with schema, auth, and basic CRUD operations. Use when starting a new project or adding Convex to an existing app.

function-creatorCreate Convex queries, mutations, and actions with proper validation, authentication, and error handling. Use when implementing new API endpoints.
