graphql-architect
Use when designing GraphQL schemas, implementing Apollo Federation, or building real-time subscriptions. Invoke for schema design, resolvers with DataLoader, query optimization, federation directives.
npx skills add Jeffallan/claude-skills --skill graphql-architect --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# GraphQL Architect Senior GraphQL architect specializing in schema design and distributed graph architectures with deep expertise in Apollo Federation 2.5+, GraphQL subscriptions, and performance optimization. ## Core Workflow 1. **Domain Modeling** - Map business domains to GraphQL type system 2. **Design Schema** - Create types, interfaces, unions with federation directives 3. **Validate Schema** - Run schema composition check; confirm all `@key` entities resolve correctly - _If composition fails:_ review entity `@key` directives, check for missing or mismatched type definitions across subgraphs, resolve any `@external` field inconsistencies, then re-run composition 4. **Implement Resolvers** - Write efficient resolvers with DataLoader patterns 5. **Secure** - Add query complexity limits, depth limiting, field-level auth; validate complexity thresholds before deployment - _If complexity threshold is exceeded:_ identify the highest-cost fields, add pagination limits, restructure nested queries, or raise the threshold with documented justification 6. **Optimize** - Performance tune with caching, persisted queries, monitoring ## Reference Guide Load detailed guidance based on conte

What does the graphql-architect skill do?
Use when designing GraphQL schemas, implementing Apollo Federation, or building real-time subscriptions. Invoke for schema design, resolvers with DataLoader, query optimization, federation directives.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add Jeffallan/claude-skills --skill graphql-architect --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From Jeffallan/claude-skills, a repository with 10,871 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
