Automated safety checks
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.

About this skill
What it does
This skill provides foundational knowledge of GraphQL, a query language for APIs. It enables agents to understand how to request specific data from an API and retrieve only what's needed, improving efficiency compared to traditional REST APIs. The skill facilitates constructing queries and understanding the structure of responses.
When to use it
- Data Extraction: Use when needing to pull specific fields from a complex dataset via an API instead of retrieving entire records.
- API Integration: Employ when integrating with systems that expose GraphQL APIs, such as content management platforms or e-commerce backends.
- Query Optimization: Utilize for scenarios where minimizing data transfer and improving API response times are critical.
- Learning GraphQL: For agents needing to learn the basics of GraphQL syntax and concepts.
Key capabilities
- GraphQL query construction
- Understanding GraphQL schema
- Data retrieval from GraphQL APIs
- Basic understanding of resolvers
Example prompts
- "Explain how to write a GraphQL query to get the title and author of a blog post."
- "What is a GraphQL schema, and why is it important?"
- "Can you show me an example of a GraphQL mutation?"
Tips & gotchas
- A basic understanding of APIs is helpful for optimal use.
- GraphQL schemas can be complex; start with simple queries to grasp the fundamentals.
