What This Skill Does
A guide for creating and structuring Agent Skills focused on Apollo GraphQL and GraphQL development. It covers the SKILL.md format, frontmatter fields, directory layout, reference file organization, and writing style conventions so that AI coding assistants can activate and use skills correctly.
It codifies the full Agent Skills spec with Apollo-specific conventions in one place, so you don't have to reverse-engineer the format from examples or trial and error.
When to use it
- Writing a new SKILL.md file for a GraphQL-related agent skill
- Reviewing an existing skill's frontmatter and trigger conditions
- Structuring reference files to keep token usage low
- Fixing naming or description issues flagged during skill validation
- Updating a skill's version number after adding new sections
