How does this skill handle API versioning?

It advocates for additive changes and the use of the @deprecated directive to maintain backward compatibility rather than breaking changes.

Does this skill help with Relay-style pagination?

Yes, it provides specific patterns for cursor-based pagination (Connections) following the Relay specification, alongside offset-based alternatives.

Can it help with schema federation?

Yes, it includes foundational guidance on designing schemas for federation by defining entities and extending types across different services.

Does it provide patterns for complex error handling?

Yes, it covers both union-based error results and payload-based error arrays to ensure clients can handle domain-specific errors gracefully.

API Development

Design and implement high-quality, scalable GraphQL APIs using industry-standard schema patterns and best practices.

About

This skill empowers Claude to act as an expert GraphQL architect, guiding the development of robust, maintainable, and evolutionary schemas. It provides comprehensive patterns for everything from basic type definitions and interfaces to complex pagination strategies, mutation design, and schema federation. By applying these principles, developers can ensure their APIs are type-safe, efficient, and resilient to breaking changes while following the latest industry standards for schema evolution and error handling.

Key Features

Standardized pagination patterns using Relay-style Cursor Connections
39 GitHub stars
Implementation of Schema Definition Language (SDL) best practices
Structured mutation design with input objects and detailed error payloads
Design of advanced type systems including Interfaces, Unions, and Enums
Guidance on schema evolution and versioning using field deprecation

Use Cases

Planning a federated GraphQL architecture to split a monolith into subgraphs
Refactoring an existing schema to implement better pagination or error handling
Designing a new GraphQL API from scratch for a complex data domain
