GraphQL questions are easy to answer from stale memory or REST-centric assumptions. Use this skill to ground answers in the official GraphQL documentation at graphql.org and return the closest authoritative page instead of generic API advice.

When to Use

Use this skill when the request is about:

GraphQL concepts, terminology, and how GraphQL compares to REST
Schema definition language (SDL), types, fields, arguments, and nullability
Queries, mutations, subscriptions, variables, fragments, aliases, and directives
Validation rules, execution, resolvers, and response formats (data, errors, extensions)
Introspection, __typename, and schema exploration
Serving GraphQL over HTTP, request/response formats, and status codes
Authorization, pagination, schema design, and global object identification
Caching, performance (N+1, batching, DataLoader), and security
Federation, subgraphs, gateways, and composite schemas
Building robust clients that handle schema evolution
GraphQL.js, the specification, and FAQ topics on graphql.org
