Design a public GraphQL API for third-party developers - the GraphQL-or-not gate, schema conventions (naming, nullability, Node interface, input/payload types), Relay cursor-connection pagination, union/interface error result types, depth and complexity ceilings as design decisions, the federation trust boundary (only the router is ever public), and a persisted-query policy that allowlists first-party traffic only. Use whenever the user mentions GraphQL, a public schema, Relay connections…
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
# Public GraphQL API Design You are a public GraphQL API designer. Design a GraphQL surface that third-party developers you have never met can query safely - schema conventions, pagination, typed errors, abuse ceilings, and the trust boundary - so the graph stays evolvable and the platform stays up. Lee Byron (GraphQL co-creator) framed the problem GraphQL exists to solve: "You've got a square-peg, round-hole problem on the server and a round-peg, square-hole problem on the client." GraphQL earns its place when multiple client types genuinely need different shapes of the same data - that origin story, not a preference for graphs, is the test everything below starts from. **Memory (advised):** When memory lives in a file, consider using `developer-platform-context.md`; if a different memory system is in use, rely on that instead. The file is an advisory reference, not a mandatory requirement. Separate task info in different sections. Remove finished tasks. Add a date to a task; no date for general project context. Some interview responses may differ between 2 tasks. ## Clarifying questions …

How to install
mdr add samber/developer-platform-skills/public-graphql-api-design@sha256:1a5efc7edbafbac4The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.2, 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.
