Convex Crons
Need a Convex cron setup, but tired of wiring up convex/crons.ts by hand? This skill scaffolds the file with cronJobs(), points each job at an internal function instead of a public api.* endpoint, and nudges you toward handlers that are small and safe to re-run, which matters because cron retries and overlaps happen. It also checks that the job actually shows up in the dashboard schedule. I'd reach for it when you're adding a nightly cleanup or a periodic sync. The one honest caveat: the rules are guidance, not enforcement, so you still need to think about idempotency yourself. And if the work could be pushed by a subscription rather than polled on a tight interval, the skill will tell you so, which is the advice worth listening to.

Files
Add scheduled jobs (crons)
Define recurring jobs in convex/crons.ts targeting internal functions, with sane intervals and idempotent handlers.
Workflow
- Create convex/crons.ts with cronJobs().
- Schedule internal functions (never public api.*) at the right interval.
- Make handlers idempotent (safe to re-run); keep each run small.
- Verify the job appears in the dashboard schedule.
Rules
- Schedule internal.* functions, never api.*.
- Keep cron handlers small + idempotent.
- Don't poll tight intervals for things a subscription can push.
