graphile-search
Graphile Search — Unified Search Plugin
A single PostGraphile v5 plugin that consolidates tsvector full-text search, BM25 ranked search, pg_trgm fuzzy matching, and pgvector similarity search behind a pluggable adapter architecture.
Package: graphile-search (npm)
When to Apply
Use this skill when:
- Adding search capabilities to a PostGraphile v5 / Constructive GraphQL API
- Configuring which search adapters are active
- Understanding how search fields, filters, and scores appear in the GraphQL schema
- Querying search-enabled tables via the generated SDK (after codegen)
- Debugging missing search fields or unexpected trgm behavior
- Building hybrid search combining multiple algorithms
Architecture Overview
Instead of separate plugins per algorithm, graphile-search uses a single UnifiedSearchPlugin with pluggable adapters:

20pgsql-parser-testing
Test the pgsql-parser repository (SQL parser/deparser). Use when working in the pgsql-parser repo, fixing deparser issues, running parser tests, or validating SQL round-trips. Scoped specifically to the constructive-io/pgsql-parser repository.
18constructive-graphql-codegen
Generate type-safe React Query hooks, Prisma-like ORM client, or inquirerer-based CLI from GraphQL endpoints, schema files/directories, databases, or PGPM modules using @constructive-io/graphql-codegen. Also generates documentation (README, AGENTS.md, skills/, mcp.json). Use when asked to "generate GraphQL hooks", "generate ORM", "generate CLI", "set up codegen", "generate docs", "generate skills", "export schema", or when implementing data fetching for a PostGraphile backend.
17constructive-server-config
Configure and run the Constructive GraphQL server (cnc server), GraphiQL explorer (cnc explorer), and code generation (cnc codegen). Use when asked to "start the server", "run cnc server", "start GraphQL API", "run GraphiQL", "configure API routing", "generate types", or when working with the Constructive CLI and PostGraphile.
17constructive-boilerplate-nextjs-app
Set up and develop with the Constructive App frontend boilerplate — a Next.js application with authentication, organization management, invites, members, and a GraphQL SDK. Use when scaffolding a new Constructive frontend application from the boilerplate.
