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.

The skill provides a clear description and good awareness of GraphQL pitfalls (N+1 queries, query depth limits, authorization patterns). The sharp edges table is valuable. However, it lacks concrete implementation guidance - the patterns and anti-patterns sections are incomplete or contain only titles without actual code examples, steps, or detailed procedures. For a CLI agent to successfully implement DataLoader, design schemas, or set up Apollo Server, substantial additional detail would be needed. Structure is reasonable but would benefit from separate files for each capability. Novelty is moderate since GraphQL knowledge is specialized but the current depth doesn't demonstrate complex orchestration that would be prohibitively expensive for a CLI agent to reproduce from scratch.
