Does this skill help with cursor-based pagination?

Yes, it provides detailed patterns for Relay-style cursor pagination, including Connection, Edge, and PageInfo types for scalable list fetching.

How does it handle mutation errors?

The skill demonstrates both the Payload pattern and the Union pattern to provide type-safe, descriptive error messages directly within your GraphQL schema.

What is the benefit of the Node interface pattern?

The Node interface pattern enables global object identification, allowing clients to reliably refetch any object in the graph using a single standardized query.

Can it help organize large schemas?

Absolutely. It includes strategies for schema organization by domain, helping you manage complexity and avoid a monolithic schema file.

What naming conventions are used?

It follows community standards such as PascalCase for Types, camelCase for fields, and specific verb-noun prefixes for mutations to ensure consistency.
