Integrating Convex with Expo (React Native)

Use this skill to add, repair, extend, or harden a Convex backend for an Expo app without drifting into web-only patterns or generic React Native advice.

Use this skill for

• Adding Convex to an existing Expo or Expo Router app.
• Fixing broken environment setup, provider wiring, or generated API imports.
• Building an end-to-end feature slice: schema, indexes, backend functions, frontend hooks, and validation.
• Choosing and implementing auth for Expo + Convex.
• Uploading files from Expo URIs into Convex storage.
• Refactoring for pagination, indexes, migrations, or reusable components.
• Hardening a project before preview or production release.

Do not use this skill for

• Pure Expo UI, animation, navigation, or styling work with no Convex involvement.
• Convex projects whose frontend is not Expo or React Native.
• Generic backend architecture discussions that do not need Expo-specific environment or client wiring.
