What it does

Graphql Implementation is an agent skill from secondsky/claude-skills. Builds GraphQL APIs with schema design, resolvers, error handling, and performance optimization using Apollo or Graphene. Use when creating flexible query APIs, migrating from REST, or implementing real-time subscriptions.

Its SKILL.md is about 710 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/python-graphene.md`).

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering GraphQL. It works with GraphQL and Python. The repository describes itself as: Production-ready skills for Claude Code CLI - Cloudflare, React, Tailwind v4, and AI integrations. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

Requirements

Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8837836. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are javascript and graphql).
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.

Context cost

Graphql Implementation loads about 709 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 61 tokens; SKILL.md has 115 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~61
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~709
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them: ~1.9k

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

GraphQL Implementation

Build GraphQL APIs with proper schema design, resolvers, and performance optimization.

Schema Definition

graphql

type User {
  id: ID!
  name: String!
  email: String!
  posts(limit: Int = 10): [Post!]!
}

type Post {
  id: ID!
  title: String!
  content: String!
  author: User!
  createdAt: DateTime!
}

type Query {
  user(id: ID!): User
  users(limit: Int, offset: Int): [User!]!
  post(id: ID!): Post
}

type Mutation {
  createUser(input: CreateUserInput!): User!
  createPost(input: CreatePostInput!): Post!
}

input CreateUserInput {
  name: String!
  email: String!
}

Apollo Server Setup

javascript

const { ApolloServer } = require('@apollo/server');
const { startStandaloneServer } = require('@apollo/server/standalone');

const resolvers = {
  Query: {
    user: (_, { id }, { dataSources }) =>
      dataSources.userAPI.getUser(id),
    users: (_, { limit, offset }, { dataSources }) =>
      dataSources.userAPI.getUsers({ limit, offset })
  },
  User: {
    posts: (user, { limit }, { dataSources }) =>
      dataSources.postAPI.getPostsByUser(user.id, limit)
  },
  Mutation: {
    createUser: (_, { input }, { dataSources }) =>
      dataSources.userAPI.createUser(input)
  }
};

const server = new ApolloServer({ typeDefs, resolvers });

DataLoader for N+1 Prevention

javascript

const DataLoader = require('dataloader');

const userLoader = new DataLoader(async (ids) => {
  const users = await User.find({ _id: { $in: ids } });
  return ids.map(id => users.find(u => u.id === id));
});

Error Handling

javascript

const { GraphQLError } = require('graphql');

throw new GraphQLError('User not found', {
  extensions: { code: 'NOT_FOUND', argumentName: 'id' }
});

Best Practices

Use DataLoader to batch queries
Implement query complexity limits
Design schema around client needs
Validate all inputs
Use descriptive naming conventions

Python Graphene

See references/python-graphene.md for complete Flask implementation with:

ObjectType definitions
Query and Mutation classes
Input types
Flask integration

Best Practices

Do:

Use DataLoader to batch queries
Implement query complexity limits
Design schema around client needs
Validate all inputs
Use descriptive naming conventions
Add subscriptions for real-time data

Don't:

Allow deeply nested queries without limits
Expose database internals
Ignore N+1 query problems
Return unauthorized data
Skip input validation

Builds GraphQL APIs with schema design, resolvers, error handling, and performance optimization using Apollo or Graphene.

When should I use Graphql Implementation?

Graphql Implementation fits situations like: creating flexible query APIs; migrating from REST; implementing real-time subscriptions.

How do I install Graphql Implementation in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add secondsky/claude-skills --skill graphql-implementation -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (plugins/graphql-implementation/skills/graphql-implementation in secondsky/claude-skills) into .claude/skills/graphql-implementation in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Graphql Implementation in Codex?

Run `npx skills add secondsky/claude-skills --skill graphql-implementation -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (plugins/graphql-implementation/skills/graphql-implementation in secondsky/claude-skills) into .agents/skills/graphql-implementation in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Graphql Implementation 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 secondsky/claude-skills --skill graphql-implementation -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/graphql-implementation, .gemini/skills/graphql-implementation, .github/skills/graphql-implementation and .opencode/skills/graphql-implementation in your project.

What does Graphql Implementation need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Graphql Implementation is instructions for the agent only. Our summary lists: Python 3.

Does Graphql Implementation 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 Graphql Implementation 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. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Graphql Implementation use?

Graphql Implementation is published under the MIT licence (declared in SKILL.md). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Graphql Implementation use?

About 709 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 2.8k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 1.2k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.

What are the alternatives to Graphql Implementation?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Graphql Implementation: Spider King (aoyunyang/spider-king-skill, 507 stars), Phoenix Server (Arize-ai/phoenix, 12k stars), Backend AI Guide (lablup/backend.ai-webui, 133 stars) and Senior Backend (davila7/claude-code-templates, 32k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.

Who maintains Graphql Implementation?

secondsky (a GitHub user) maintains it in secondsky/claude-skills, which has 227 GitHub stars. The repository holds 169 skills in this directory. The repository was last updated on September 28, 2026.
