What it does
Apollo Kotlin is an agent skill from apollographql/skills. Guide for building applications with Apollo Kotlin, the GraphQL client library for Android and Kotlin. Use this skill when: (1) setting up Apollo Kotlin in a Gradle project for Android, Kotlin/JVM, or KMP, (2) configuring schema download and codegen for GraphQL services, (3) configuring an ApolloClient with auth, interceptors, and caching, (4) writing queries, mutations, or subscriptions,
Its SKILL.md is about 550 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 8 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/caching.md`, `references/migrating-from-4.md` and `references/operations.md`). Compatibility notes: JVM 8+, Kotlin 1.9+, Gradle 8+, Android/JVM/Kotlin Multiplatform projects.
It sits in Backend & APIs, covering GraphQL and Android development. It works with Kotlin, GraphQL, Android and Gradle. The repository describes itself as: Apollo GraphQL Agent Skills. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Setting up Apollo Kotlin in a Gradle project for Android
- Configuring schema download and codegen for GraphQL services
- Configuring an ApolloClient with auth
- Writing queries
Example prompts
- “/apollo-kotlin”
Requirements
- A Bash shell
- Compatibility (from SKILL.md): JVM 8+, Kotlin 1.9+, Gradle 8+, Android/JVM/Kotlin Multiplatform projects.
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash(./gradlew:*), Bash(gradle:*), Bash(curl:*), Read, Write, Edit, Glob, Grep, WebFetch
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5f02fcf. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
Bash(./gradlew:*)Bash(gradle:*)Bash(curl:*)ReadWriteEditGlobGrepWebFetch
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships 2 files in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Compatibility
JVM 8+, Kotlin 1.9+, Gradle 8+, Android/JVM/Kotlin Multiplatform projects.
From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Context cost
Apollo Kotlin loads about 547 tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 102 tokens; SKILL.md has 162 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Apollo Kotlin Guide
Apollo Kotlin is a strongly typed GraphQL client that generates Kotlin models from your GraphQL operations and schema, that can be used in Android, JVM, and Kotlin Multiplatform projects.
Process
Follow this process when adding or working with Apollo Kotlin:
- Confirm target platforms (Android, JVM, KMP), GraphQL endpoint(s), and how schemas are sourced.
- Configure Gradle and code generation, including custom scalars
- Create a shared
ApolloClientwith auth, logging, and caching. - Implement operations.
- Validate behavior with tests and error handling.
Reference Files
- Setup - Gradle plugin, schema download, codegen config (including scalars), client configuration (auth, logging, interceptors)
- Operations - Queries, mutations, subscriptions, and how to execute them
- Caching - Setup and use the normalized cache
- Migration Guide - Migrate from Apollo Kotlin 4
Scripts
- list-apollo-kotlin-versions.sh - List versions of Apollo Kotlin
- list-apollo-kotlin-normalized-cache-versions.sh - List versions of the Apollo Kotlin Normalized Cache library
Key Rules
- Prefer Apollo Kotlin v5+. Do not use v3 or older versions.
- Keep schema and operations in source control to make builds reproducible.

Can I use Apollo Kotlin in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add apollographql/skills --skill apollo-kotlin -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/apollo-kotlin, .gemini/skills/apollo-kotlin, .github/skills/apollo-kotlin and .opencode/skills/apollo-kotlin in your project.
What does Apollo Kotlin need to run?
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Apollo Kotlin needs a shell for the scripts in its folder. Our summary lists: A Bash shell. Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: Bash(./gradlew:*), Bash(gradle:*), Bash(curl:*), Read, Write, Edit, Glob, Grep, WebFetch. Compatibility (from SKILL.md): JVM 8+, Kotlin 1.9+, Gradle 8+, Android/JVM/Kotlin Multiplatform projects..
Does Apollo Kotlin access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Apollo Kotlin safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.
What licence does Apollo Kotlin use?
