Convex Labs Quickstart — full wow-shell, built live, published

The full quickstart experience (labs): a running Next.js + shadcn "wow-shell" Convex app from one sentence, with passkey sign-in and the Chef feedback panel pre-baked, built live in front of the user — and, once v1 works and the user confirms, published to a public https://<app>.convex.app URL.

Want just a plain, local-only scaffold (no login, no panel, no publishing)? That's the quickstart skill — use it instead.

You are reading this skill right now — its full instructions are below. Do NOT find/grep the filesystem for SKILL.md or "the skill file"; you already have it. The canonical runbook you fetch in step 2 (and the bootstrap log tail) is the same content with different section headings — don't re-hunt for it either.

Degradation rule — when the scaffold can't run, write code, not ceremony

If the bootstrap can't run — a non-interactive/one-shot session, no network access, a sandboxed temp dir, or the user just wants code rather than a running app — don't wait on the scaffold or the panel/publish machinery. Write a standard Convex project directly:
