@convex patterns plugin for claude code - prevents the errors I kept hitting.. problems this solves:

- "Too many bytes read" (16MB limit)
- Auto-suggests .take() vs .collect()

- ReturnsValidationError in prod
- Reminds to update ALL validators

- Duplicate users across dev/prod
- Stable Key auth pattern

- TypeScript circular errors (TS7022)
- Known fixes documented

- Forgot --prod flag, data in wrong env
- Deployment checklist patterns

Real example that triggered this:
- User had 500+ saved items
- Query used .collect() instead of .take(50)
- Hit 16MB limit, Server Error

Also prevents:
- Missing validators leading to runtime crashes
- Wrong indexes causing slow table scans
- Schema changes breaking old queries
- Environment variable mismatches

@Conor_D_Dart @OpenAI noticed this too... it degraded a bit...though still 5.5 better for agentic though and doing things end to end

[dennis palma @denpal20]

used /goal to migrate my app from Convex DB to SQLite. Codex took like 8+ hours straight, then needed ~3 more prompts after for fixing/random cleanup 😂

but finally... dashboard loads successfully now

context:
app tracks Skool groups. initially built everything on Convex since wanted reactivity. then the dashboard/analytics part started growing.

I also used Hermes agents to do automated analysis queries directly on the convex db...

BIG mistake 💀 the agents were eating WAY more Convex bandwidth than actual human users. it kept on doing expensive convex operations on the db.

ended up migrating analytics/dashboard stuff to SQLite instead. Codex /goal helped me do this easily.

@Midway_J @JulianGoldieSEO i'm on windows as well, using wsl... better to use it at vps...

[dennis palma @denpal20]

@mikefutia any plans on making codex workflows? shifted to it, but missing claude code especially claude chrome extension 😄

[dennis palma @denpal20]

~4 months to ~50k+ usd MMR... respect the hustle of @mikefutia ... he shares his Claude skills, prompts and workflow at his skool

@AlexFinn ~x5 growth this year to near 150k MMR usd.. wonderful growth on his skool... respect the hustle. when update to include hermes?

[dennis palma @denpal20]

$169,947 MRR => ~18,883 members paying just $9/month... they do fb ads at that price point. How is that even profitable? they’ve been doing it since at least Q4 last year and it’s still growing like crazy... Nov last year, they were only 300 members, at about $2k MRR.
AI Video Bootcamp on Skool focused on AI creatives(videos and stuffs). Basically teaching people how to make money with AI-generated ads, social content etc.

@AntoineRSX @onlinedopamine @JulianGoldieSEO tnx

[dennis palma @denpal20]

yap made it since got curious, want to track actual paid groups growth on specific ai markets/verticals.. built / populate the fb, then have my hermes agent do analysis/evaluation.. e.g. good to see like what actual paid groups started this year -> which ones are killing it and what market/category

[dennis palma @denpal20]

@Viswana34226652 @onlinedopamine @JulianGoldieSEO own app.. still gated , only my email can access.. really great to see actual skool groups growth across different markets.. loving the data

[dennis palma @denpal20]

@Teknium so to trigger this from hermes cli, must use the hermes 'kanban' right? or probably will just hermes agent to do the commands... and purpose of this is really for human visual check?

[dennis palma @denpal20]

@zachariahCurtis @Teknium @NousResearch through the cli?

[dennis palma @denpal20]

@enjojoyy hermes maxi

[dennis palma @denpal20]

@_rain_miao_ i'll be happy when the promo ends.. /2 of limits.. hope won't be less

[dennis palma @denpal20]

codex /goal so good im worried that they'll update the monthly subs limit 😬

[Tibo @thsottiaux]

/goal might be the most consequential thing we have shipped in codex

The value of good instructions has never been higher.

[dennis palma @denpal20]

@sudoingX so you're using the hermes cli as your main harness? since currently using codex cli as my main harness, and wondering if switching is worth it.. i did experience like TUI bugs e.g. copy pasting images and even texts from my environment (windows, ssh on vps running hermes cli)

[dennis palma @denpal20]

Skool group just started at 4k USD MMR, from Gambia, West Africa. He just launched it on May 1, 2026.... facebook as his distribution is 🚀... he's sharing his AI video workflow. Just curious on how skool groups on the AI space are doing

[dennis palma @denpal20]

for created subtask, will they really be visible on the kanban? since i just prompted 'make a video about kanban' at the hermes kanban UI, assigned to default ai model, no workspace, no tenants etc... then watched the card, didn't notice any subagents/subtasks being spawned.. and this is the created video @NousResearch

[Nous Research @NousResearch]

Hermes Agent now has multi-agent via the Kanban, new in v0.12.0.

Agents claim tasks from a board, work in parallel, and hand off when blocked. You watch progress and unblock from one easy view instead of juggling terminals.

We asked it to plan and make this video about itself:

[dennis palma @denpal20]

@worksalt @thsottiaux at windows, codex cli through wsl much faster... but will also bloat resource usage
