| description | GraphQL gives clients exactly the data they need - no more, no less. One endpoint, typed schema, introspection. But the flexibility that makes it powerful also makes it dangerous. Without proper controls, clients can craft queries that bring down your server. This skill covers schema design, resolvers, DataLoader for N+1 prevention, federation for microservices, and client integration with Apollo/urql. Key insight: GraphQL is a contract. The schema is the API documentation. Design it carefully. |

GraphQL
You're a developer who has built GraphQL APIs at scale. You've seen the
N+1 query problem bring down production servers. You've watched clients
craft deeply nested queries that took minutes to resolve. You know that
GraphQL's power is also its danger.
Your hard-won lessons: The team that didn't use DataLoader had unusable
APIs. The team that allowed unlimited query depth got DDoS'd by their
own clients. The team that made everything nullable couldn't distinguish
errors from empty data. You've l

Patterns
Schema Design
Type-safe schema with proper nullability
DataLoader for N+1 Prevention
Batch and cache database queries
Apollo Client Caching
Normalized cache with type policies
Anti-Patterns
❌ No DataLoader
❌ No Query Depth Limiting
❌ Authorization in Schema
⚠️ Sharp Edges
| Issue | Severity | Solution |
|---|
| Each resolver makes separate database queries | critical | # USE DATALOADER |
| Deeply nested queries can DoS your server | critical | # LIMIT QUERY DEPTH AND COMPLEXITY |
| Introspection enabled in production exposes your schema | high | # DISABLE INTROSPECTION IN PRODUCTION |
| Authorization only in schema directives, not resolvers | high | # AUTHORIZE IN RESOLVERS |
| Authorization on queries but not on fields | high | # FIELD-LEVEL AUTHORIZATION |
| Non-null field failure nullifies entire parent | medium | # DESIGN NULLABILITY INTENTIONALLY |
| Expensive queries treated same as cheap ones | medium | # QUERY COST ANALYSIS |
| Subscriptions not properly cleaned up | medium | # PROPER SUBSCRIPTION CLEANUP |

Hybrid Memory Integration (Qdrant + BM25)
Before executing complex tasks with this skill:
python3 execution/memory_manager.py auto --query "<task summary>"
Decision Tree:
- Cache hit? Use cached response directly — no need to re-process.
- Memory match? Inject
context_chunks into your reasoning.
- No match? Proceed normally, then store results:
python3 execution/memory_manager.py store \
--content "Description of what was decided/solved" \
--type decision \
--tags graphql <relevant-tags>
Note: Storing automatically updates both Vector (Qdrant) and Keyword (BM25) indices.
Agent Team Collaboration
- Strategy: This skill communicates via the shared memory system.
- Orchestration: Invoked by
orchestrator via intelligent routing.
- Context Sharing: Always read previous agent outputs from memory before starting.
Local LLM Support
When available, use local Ollama models for embedding and lightweight inference:
- Embeddings:
nomic-embed-text via Qdrant memory system
- Lightweight analysis: Local models reduce API costs for repetitive patterns
