Design GraphQL schemas that model the domain, solve N+1 with dataloaders, and handle pagination and errors, knowing when REST wins. Use when building a GraphQL API or evaluating GraphQL against REST.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# GraphQL schema design GraphQL lets clients request exactly the data they need in one round trip, shaped by a typed schema. Its power (flexible client-driven queries) is also its trap (N+1 resolvers, unbounded query cost); good schema design models the domain well and defends against the failure modes GraphQL uniquely enables. ## Method 1. **Model the schema on the domain graph, not the database.** Types and their relationships reflect how the domain connects (a user has posts, a post has comments), letting clients traverse naturally: this is GraphQL's strength over REST's fixed endpoints. Design from the client's questions and the domain (see domain-driven-design), not by mechanically exposing tables. 2. **Solve N+1 with dataloaders from day one.** GraphQL's nested resolvers naturally produce N+1 queries (resolving 100 posts, then 100 separate author queries: see n-plus-one-queries): batch and cache within a request with dataloaders (collect the IDs, fetch in one query). This is not optional optimization; it is required architecture, because the N+1 is inherent to how resolvers execute. …

How to install
mdr add amey-thakur/ai-skills/graphql-schema-design@sha256:24f5bcc74277f838The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260728.fac4544, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
