π³ Curated by Skill Harbor β does both halves of the backup story, because most people only do the first: it sets up regular snapshot exports (`npx convex export`, with `--include-file-storage` when the app stores files) on a schedule matched to how fast the data changes and how much loss is tolerable (RPO), recommending CI/cron to durable storage you control with a retention window. Then it does the half almost nobody does: a RESTORE DRILL that recovers the snapshot into a throwaway preview and asserts the data came back intact β the same primitives as convex-migrate-rehearse (snapshot export β preview deploy β snapshot import), pointed at recovery instead of a forward change. The backup artifact is real sensitive data, treated as such. Honest prerequisites: the drill's restore target is a throwaway preview, which needs a Preview Deploy Key β a paid-tier feature; without it, the skill drills against a fresh personal dev deployment seeded with the snapshot and says so.

Install
Prerequisites: a Convex account and a deployed Convex app; a Preview Deploy Key (paid-tier feature) for the throwaway preview target β without it, drills run on a personal dev deployment instead Install "Convex Backup & Restore Drill" for me. Set up Convex backups β and actually prove the restore works with a restore drill Repository: https://github.com/get-convex/agent-skills/blob/main/skills/convex-backup/SKILL.md 1. Fetch the SKILL.md file for the get-convex-convex-backup skill from the repository into a temporary folder and summarize what it does in one or two sentences. 2. Safety check: review the SKILL.md and scripts for anything suspicious (unexpected network calls, shell commands, credential harvesting). This repo should contain zero secrets in code, credentials only via the secure vault, allowed hosts declared in the SKILL.md. Verify that holds here; STOP on any red flag and tell me. 3. Install it as a skill: copy SKILL.md and its helper files into the agent's skills directory, in a folder named "get-convex-convex-backup". 4. Verify with no network calls: frontmatter valid, files in place. 5. Report what was installed, where, and what I still need to do myself (e.g. any accounts, API keys, or CLI tools mentioned in the prerequisites above). GitHub is optional: if I have a GitHub account or the gh CLI, you may use it; otherwise public access is fine. Never require it unless it's in the prerequisites above. Rules: don't touch anything outside the temp folder and the install target. Never ask me to paste secrets in chat β credentials go through the secure vault or environment variables. If anything looks off, stop and ask me.
Questions
How do I install a build?
Every product page includes a copy-paste install prompt. Paste it into your Muse and it sets the build up for you β no manual configuration.
Where does my money go?
Straight to the seller. Skill Harbor never processes payments: checkout happens on the sellerβs own page, usually Stripe.
What does the β next to a creatorβs name mean?
It means we confirmed the identity of the person behind the listing. It says nothing about the code itself β always check a build before installing it.
