Convex Docs

Convex's API surface shifts between releases, and a component can gain or rename exports without much warning, so writing Convex code from memory is a reliable way to ship something subtly wrong. convex-docs is the freshness layer for that problem. It pins the installed `convex` and `@convex-dev/*` versions, then works down a freshness hierarchy: a served docs tool if one exists, otherwise the docs page fetched as markdown (much cheaper than HTML), otherwise a general web search treated as unverified. For a doubtful export it checks the installed `.d.ts` in node_modules, which is the ground truth for your version. It pairs with convex-expert: this one supplies the current fact, and convex-expert writes the idiomatic code around it. The main thing I like is the rule that a version-mismatch build error gets re-pinned and re-fetched rather than respelled by guesswork.

convex-expert carries baked, plugin-versioned knowledge — excellent for stable idioms, but it goes stale exactly where it hurts: a component that gained a new export, a CLI flag that changed, an API renamed between versions. This capability is the freshness discipline layered on top: pin to the project's real version, fetch the live page cheaply as markdown, and never write an unfamiliar API from memory when the current source is one fetch away.
