The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

4 rules. About 0 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈3

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 1

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Distinctive:

    When working with GraphQL APIs, optimize for type safety and query efficiency:

    line 11
  2. Distinctive:

    N+1 Problem: Always use tools like DataLoader to batch and cache database requests inside resolvers.

    line 13
  3. Distinctive:

    Pagination: Use cursor-based pagination (Relay Connection pattern) for lists that will grow large, rather than offset-based pagination.

    line 16
  4. Very specific:

    Over-fetching: When writing client queries, only request the exact fields the component needs.

    line 17

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

GraphQL Best Practices

Apply this skill after inspecting repository conventions and supported versions. Treat its rules as defaults unless they protect a concrete safety property; preserve an established project pattern when it conflicts, and record the reason in the implementation plan.

When working with GraphQL APIs, optimize for type safety and query efficiency:

  1. N+1 Problem: Always use tools like DataLoader to batch and cache database requests inside resolvers. Never fire SQL queries in a loop.
  2. Schema Design: Design schemas driven by UI/client needs, not by blindly mirroring the underlying database schema.
  3. Mutations: Return specific payload types for mutations (e.g., UpdateUserPayload) containing the updated entity and potential UserError objects, rather than returning raw scalars.
  4. Pagination: Use cursor-based pagination (Relay Connection pattern) for lists that will grow large, rather than offset-based pagination.
  5. Over-fetching: When writing client queries, only request the exact fields the component needs. Do not fetch *.

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.

Your trail

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
