Convex Code Reviewer

Structured review of Convex code for security, authorization, validators, performance, and schema design. Applies a Convex-specific checklist and flags anti-patterns with severity (Critical / Important / Suggestion).

Workflow

  1. First pass — Security: verify all public functions check ctx.auth.getUserIdentity(), verify resource ownership before reads/writes, confirm no client-provided user IDs are trusted, confirm scheduled functions target internal. not api..
  2. Second pass — Performance: confirm no .filter() on DB queries (withIndex required), verify all foreign-key fields have indexes, confirm no Date.now() in query handlers, confirm .collect() is not used on unbounded queries.
  3. Third pass — Code quality: confirm args and returns validators on every public function, no any types, promises are awaited, arrays in documents are bounded (<8192 elements).
  4. Report findings grouped by severity; explain why each issue matters and suggest a fix.

Rules

  • Flag missing auth checks as Critical — any unauthenticated public mutation is a data-loss risk.
  • Flag .filter() on DB queries as Important — it is a full table scan.
  • Flag Date.now() in query handlers as Important — it breaks reactivity.
  • Flag missing args or returns validators as Important.
  • Flag scheduling to api. (not internal.) as Important.
  • Always explain why a change is needed, not just what to change.

convex

Convex is the backend agents get right on the first try: an all-TypeScript reactive platform where the database, server functions, scheduling, file storage, auth, and realtime sync are one type-safe system, every function is a transaction, and tsc catches most mistakes before deploy. Ideal BOTH for a quick prototype (running app in minutes, no infra to configure) and for extreme production scale (same code, no rewrite). Far more than a database: drop-in components add AI agents, RAG, workflows,

convex-add

Add a capability to the CURRENT Convex app — consults the served Convex capability catalog for always-current procedures (billing, crons, auth, agent, search, …); falls back to built-in hosting or @convex-dev component search. TRIGGER when the user runs /add, or asks to add hosting/publishing or any backend capability to an existing Convex app.
