When & Why to Use This Skill

This GraphQL skill provides a comprehensive toolkit for modern API development, enabling developers to design robust schemas, implement efficient resolvers, and integrate real-time subscriptions. It streamlines the creation of scalable GraphQL servers and clients with production-ready patterns for Python, Node.js, and React environments, ensuring high-performance data fetching and type-safe communication.

Use Cases

  • Architecting type-safe GraphQL schemas for complex data models, including custom scalars, enums, and relational types.
  • Implementing backend resolvers and server logic using modern frameworks like Strawberry (Python) or Apollo Server (Node.js).
  • Developing responsive frontend applications by writing optimized queries, mutations, and integrating with Apollo Client in React.
  • Setting up real-time data streaming and event-driven updates through GraphQL subscriptions for live status monitoring.
  • Applying industry best practices such as Relay-style pagination, N+1 prevention with DataLoader, and field-level deprecation for API versioning.

GraphQL Skill

Provides comprehensive GraphQL development capabilities for the Golden Armada AI Agent Fleet Platform.

When to Use This Skill

Activate this skill when working with:

  • GraphQL schema design
  • Resolver implementation
  • Query and mutation writing
  • Subscriptions
  • GraphQL client integration

Schema Definition

```graphql

schema.graphql

type Query { agent(id: ID!): Agent agents(filter: AgentFilter, limit: Int = 10, offset: Int = 0): AgentConnection! task(id: ID!): Task }

type Mutation { createAgent(input: CreateAgentInput!): Agent! updateAgent(id: ID!, input: UpdateAgentInput!): Agent! deleteAgent(id: ID!): Boolean! executeTask(input: ExecuteTaskInput!): Task! }

type Subscription { agentStatusChanged(agentId: ID): Agent! taskCompleted(agentId: ID): Task! }

type Agent { id: ID! name: String! type: AgentType! status: AgentStatus! config: JSON tasks(limit: Int = 10): [Task!]! createdAt: DateTime! updatedAt: DateTime! }

type Task { id: ID! agent: Agent! message: String! result: String status: TaskStatus! createdAt: DateTime! completedAt: DateTime }

type AgentConnection { edges: [AgentEdge!]! pageInfo: PageInfo! totalCount: Int! }

type AgentEdge { node: Agent! cursor: String! }

type PageInfo { hasNextPage: Boolean! hasPreviousPage: Boolean! startCursor: String endCursor: String }

enum AgentType { CLAUDE GPT GEMINI OLLAMA }

enum AgentStatus { IDLE ACTIVE ERROR OFFLINE }

enum TaskStatus { PENDING RUNNING COMPLETED FAILED }

input CreateAgentInput { name: String! type: AgentType! config: JSON }

input UpdateAgentInput { name: String config: JSON }

input ExecuteTaskInput { agentId: ID! message: String! }

input AgentFilter { type: AgentType status: AgentStatus search: String }

scalar DateTime scalar JSON ```

Python Server (Strawberry)

```python import strawberry from strawberry.fastapi import GraphQLRouter from typing import Optional, List from datetime import datetime

@strawberry.type class Agent: id: strawberry.ID name: str type: str status: str created_at: datetime

@strawberry.field
async def tasks(self, limit: int = 10) -> List["Task"]:
    return await task_service.get_by_agent(self.id, limit)

@strawberry.type class Task: id: strawberry.ID message: str result: Optional[str] status: str created_at: datetime

@strawberry.input class CreateAgentInput: name: str type: str config: Optional[strawberry.scalars.JSON] = None

@strawberry.type class Query: @strawberry.field async def agent(self, id: strawberry.ID) -> Optional[Agent]: return await agent_service.get(id)

@strawberry.field
async def agents(
    self,
    type: Optional[str] = None,
    status: Optional[str] = None,
    limit: int = 10,
    offset: int = 0
) -> List[Agent]:
    return await agent_service.list(type=type, status=status, limit=limit, offset=offset)

@strawberry.type class Mutation: @strawberry.mutation async def create_agent(self, input: CreateAgentInput) -> Agent: return await agent_service.create(input)

@strawberry.mutation
async def delete_agent(self, id: strawberry.ID) -> bool:
    return await agent_service.delete(id)

@strawberry.type class Subscription: @strawberry.subscription async def agent_status_changed(self, agent_id: Optional[strawberry.ID] = None) -> Agent: async for event in pubsub.subscribe("agent_status"): if agent_id is None or event.agent_id == agent_id: yield event

schema = strawberry.Schema(query=Query, mutation=Mutation, subscription=Subscription)

FastAPI integration

graphql_app = GraphQLRouter(schema) app.include_router(graphql_app, prefix="/graphql") ```

Node.js Server (Apollo)

```typescript import { ApolloServer } from '@apollo/server'; import { expressMiddleware } from '@apollo/server/express4'; import { makeExecutableSchema } from '@graphql-tools/schema'; import { PubSub } from 'graphql-subscriptions';

const pubsub = new PubSub();

const typeDefs = `#graphql type Agent { id: ID! name: String! type: String! status: String! }

type Query { agent(id: ID!): Agent agents: [Agent!]! }

type Mutation { createAgent(name: String!, type: String!): Agent! }

type Subscription { agentStatusChanged: Agent! } `;

const resolvers = { Query: { agent: async (, { id }, { dataSources }) => { return dataSources.agentAPI.getAgent(id); }, agents: async (, _, { dataSources }) => { return dataSources.agentAPI.getAllAgents(); }, }, Mutation: { createAgent: async (, { name, type }, { dataSources }) => { const agent = await dataSources.agentAPI.createAgent({ name, type }); pubsub.publish('AGENT_CREATED', { agentCreated: agent }); return agent; }, }, Subscription: { agentStatusChanged: { subscribe: () => pubsub.asyncIterator(['AGENT_STATUS_CHANGED']), }, }, };

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

Client Queries

```graphql

Get single agent with tasks

query GetAgent($id: ID!) { agent(id: $id) { id name type status tasks(limit: 5) { id message status createdAt } } }

List agents with pagination

query ListAgents($type: AgentType, $limit: Int, $offset: Int) { agents(filter: { type: $type }, limit: $limit, offset: $offset) { edges { node { id name type status } } pageInfo { hasNextPage endCursor } totalCount } }

Create agent

mutation CreateAgent($input: CreateAgentInput!) { createAgent(input: $input) { id name type status } }

Subscribe to status changes

subscription OnAgentStatusChanged($agentId: ID) { agentStatusChanged(agentId: $agentId) { id status updatedAt } } ```

React Client (Apollo)

```tsx import { useQuery, useMutation, useSubscription, gql } from '@apollo/client';

const GET_AGENTS = gql query GetAgents($type: AgentType) { agents(filter: { type: $type }) { edges { node { id name type status } } } };

const CREATE_AGENT = gql mutation CreateAgent($input: CreateAgentInput!) { createAgent(input: $input) { id name } };

function AgentList() { const { loading, error, data } = useQuery(GET_AGENTS, { variables: { type: 'CLAUDE' } });

const [createAgent] = useMutation(CREATE_AGENT, { refetchQueries: [GET_AGENTS] });

if (loading) return

Loading...

; if (error) return

Error: {error.message}

;

return (

    {data.agents.edges.map(({ node }) => (
  • {node.name}
  • ))}
); } ```

Best Practices

  1. Use Relay-style pagination for lists
  2. Implement DataLoader for N+1 prevention
  3. Add query complexity limits for security
  4. Use input types for mutations
  5. Version with field deprecation, not URL versioning
  6. Document with descriptions in schema
