SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you design, implement, and harden GraphQL APIs in Go without falling into common pitfalls like N+1 queries, leaky errors, unsafe introspection, or mismatched resolver types.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • gqlgen workflows: Generate schemas, resolvers, DataLoader-backed fields, authentication directives, federation support, and production-ready HTTP handlers.
  • graph-gophers workflows: Map SDL fields to Go resolver methods, handle nullable and non-null types correctly, add tracing, and configure safe server limits.
  • Production hardening: Apply query complexity limits, disable introspection in production, sanitize errors, and structure subscriptions to avoid goroutine leaks.
  • Use case: When building or reviewing a Go GraphQL service, use this Skill to produce correct resolver signatures, batching patterns, and deployment-safe server configuration.

Quick Start

Ask the skill to generate or review your Go GraphQL schema and resolver code for either gqlgen or graph-gophers, and include any safety, batching, tracing, or federation requirements you need.

FAQPage Schema
How do I prevent N+1 queries in a Go GraphQL API?

To prevent N+1 queries in a Go GraphQL API, implement per-request batching using DataLoaders. This pattern groups multiple individual data fetches into a single batched request, efficiently resolving fields without overwhelming your database.

How do I configure gqlgen resolvers for federation?

Configuring gqlgen resolvers for federation involves generating schema mappings and defining type-safe resolver signatures for entity resolution. This ensures your Go services correctly resolve federated entity references across your distributed GraphQL architecture.

What's the best way to secure a Go GraphQL API for production?

Securing a Go GraphQL API for production requires applying query complexity limits, disabling introspection, and sanitizing error messages to prevent data leaks. These safeguards protect your endpoint from malicious queries and unauthorized schema exploration.

Does the graph-gophers library support GraphQL subscriptions in Go?

The graph-gophers library supports GraphQL subscriptions in Go by mapping SDL fields to resolver methods. You must structure these subscriptions carefully to avoid goroutine leaks and ensure safe concurrent execution during real-time data streaming.

How do I handle nullable types correctly in a Go GraphQL resolver?

Handling nullable types in a Go GraphQL resolver requires mapping SDL non-null and nullable fields to correct Go pointer types or wrapper structs. This ensures type-safe resolver signatures that accurately represent your schema's nullability constraints.

Why does my Go GraphQL resolver return mismatched type errors?

Your Go GraphQL resolver returns mismatched type errors because resolver signatures do not align with the generated schema types. You must enforce type-safe resolver signatures and correct schema mappings to resolve these compilation errors.
