Install this repository

$ npx skills add get-convex/agent-skills

Skills install per repository, not per chapter — the CLI has no documented per-skill form, so we do not print one.

Typesetting note

Shifted “3 headings” from h1 to h2 so the chapter title is the only h1.

Colophon for this issue

Colophon

How this issue was made

Source

github.com/get-convex/agent-skills, branch main, last pushed 4 August 2026.

Licence

All rights reserved — view on GitHub — with no detectable licence, this issue links rather than republishes: the chapters are omitted from the agent manifest and from the whole-book markdown.

Discovery

33 chapters found by walking the repository tree for SKILL.md, not by matching a directory convention. One layout observed: skills/*/SKILL.md.

Issue colours

Resolved from a deterministic hash of the owner name. Two accent tones are generated per issue and each is proven against its own ground before it ships: a single accent that passes AA on both light and dark paper is arithmetically impossible.

Heading repairs

1 repair applied to this chapter so the document has one h1 and no skipped levels:

Shifted “3 headings” from h1 to h2 so the chapter title is the only h1.

Spec compliance

Every chapter satisfies the Agent Skills specification’s frontmatter rules.

Images

Images inside a chapter come from the upstream repository. Where the author gave no alternative text we mark the image decorative rather than inventing a description — a plausible caption we made up is worse than none for the reader who depends on it.

Signal

Install counts come from skills.sh. They measure downloads, not quality, and an unranked repository is not an unread one.

Agent surfaces

The whole issue is available as one markdown document at /get-convex/agent-skills.md, and each chapter at its own .md URL.

Publication

Set by Skills Docs from the source repository. Body text is Literata at the reader’s chosen size and measure; code is Geist Mono. Nothing on this page was written by us except this paragraph.
