Development

WHEN: GraphQL schema review, resolver patterns, N+1 detection, query complexity, API security WHAT: Schema design + N+1 detection + Query complexity + Input validation + Error handling + DataLoader patterns WHEN NOT: REST API → api-documenter, Database schema → schema-reviewer, ORM → orm-reviewer

Use when implementing GraphQL resolvers with resolver functions, context management, DataLoader batching, error handling, authentication, and testing strategies.

Use when optimizing GraphQL API performance with query complexity analysis, batching, caching strategies, depth limiting, monitoring, and database optimization.

Guide for writing GraphQL operations (queries, mutations, fragments) following best practices. Use this skill when: (1) writing GraphQL queries or mutations, (2) organizing operations with fragments, (3) optimizing data fetching patterns, (4) setting up type generation or linting, (5) reviewing operations for efficiency.

Builds APIs with GraphQL including schemas, queries, mutations, resolvers, and client integration. Use when designing flexible APIs, fetching related data, or implementing real-time subscriptions.

Use when validating GraphQL operations/documents against a schema, checking query depth, complexity, or fragment usage.
