rivet-dynamic-apps — Claude Code skill: a backend per user
A Rivet skill that hands the agent docs and runnable examples for Dynamic Apps, so it can set up a separate backend for each user.
npx skills add rivet-dev/skills --skill rivet-dynamic-apps -a claude-codeWhat rivet-dynamic-apps does
The skill bundles a set of reference pages on Dynamic Apps: architecture, authentication, REST backends, routing, SQLite, workflows, frontends and static sites, deploy, logging, plus a quickstart. The agent reads the page it needs rather than guessing from memory.
Runnable code sits in the skill directory under examples/: apps-core-quickstart, apps-hello-world, apps-multiplayer, apps-sqlite, apps-static-website, apps-workflows. Each mirrors what the documentation embeds, so you can lift a starting point and change it.
This only pays off on a Rivet project. The skill explains the platform, it does not ship it, so anything the docs leave out stays out of the agent's answers.
What it helps with
- spin up a separate backend per user
- understand the Dynamic Apps architecture
- wire up authentication and routes
- start from the SQLite or workflows example
- deploy a static frontend
Example prompts for the agent
- Walk me through how Dynamic Apps are structured in Rivet
- Set up a backend from
apps-sqlite - How do I deploy the site in
apps-static-website?
