Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned mindrally/skills at 7682ca7771.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to assist with GraphQL development, encompassing schema design, query optimization, and client implementation. It leverages principles of type safety and modern web frameworks to help build efficient and maintainable GraphQL APIs. The agent can provide guidance on best practices for schema creation, optimizing data fetching, and integrating GraphQL clients within React or Next.js applications.

When to use it

  • When designing a new GraphQL API schema and needing assistance with naming conventions and type definitions.
  • To optimize existing GraphQL queries for performance by reducing the amount of data fetched.
  • For guidance on implementing type-safe GraphQL clients using tools like Genql, Apollo Client, or urql within React or Next.js projects.
  • When encountering error handling challenges in GraphQL resolvers or client applications.

Key capabilities

  • Schema Design: Provides recommendations for descriptive type names (PascalCase), field names (camelCase), and appropriate use of nullable types, enums, interfaces, and union types.
  • Query Optimization: Suggests techniques like using fragments, DataLoader, and avoiding N+1 queries.
  • Type-Safe Clients: Offers guidance on utilizing Genql, Apollo Client, and urql for type safety and improved developer experience.
  • Integration Patterns: Supports integration with React and Next.js frameworks, including Server Components and authentication handling.
  • Error Handling: Advises on defining clear error types and implementing graceful error handling in resolvers and clients.
  • Security: Suggests query depth limiting, complexity analysis, input validation, and field-level authorization.

Example prompts

  • "How should I define a GraphQL mutation for creating a new user?"
  • "I'm experiencing N+1 queries in my GraphQL API; how can I resolve this?"
  • "What are the best practices for implementing optimistic updates with Apollo Client in React?"
  • “Suggest error types to include in my GraphQL schema”

Tips & gotchas

  • This skill focuses on GraphQL development principles and doesn't cover all aspects of backend or frontend development.
  • The agent assumes a basic understanding of GraphQL concepts and terminology.
  • To maximize effectiveness, provide specific context about your project’s architecture and existing code.
