What it does

Designs GraphQL schemas, resolvers, query/mutation/subscription patterns, and protobuf definitions for gRPC services. Use whenever the user asks about GraphQL, "design a GraphQL schema", "write mutations for", "GraphQL subscriptions", "DataLoader pattern", "gRPC service", "protobuf definition", "proto file", "service definition", or "when should I use GraphQL vs REST vs gRPC". Triggers on any mention of: schema definition language, SDL, resolvers, N+1 problem, federation, stitching, proto3, streaming RPC, unary RPC, or gRPC-gateway.

Installed, it changes the agent in these ways.

What this skill changes about the agent is not written down here yet. The listing was collected from its source, and the description is in its own SKILL.md.

The skill itself

This is the whole product. A skill is instructions the model reads, so there is nothing behind the listing you cannot see first — the front matter loads with every session, and the body below it loads when the skill triggers.

120 const users = await db.query(SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ANY($1), [userIds]);
121 // Return in same order as input IDs
122 return userIds.map(id => users.find(u => u.id === id) || null);
123});

217## After Completing the API Design
218
219Once the graphql/grpc design output is delivered, ask the user:
220
221"Would you like me to generate API documentation for this design? (yes/no)"
222
223If the user says **yes**:
224- Check if the API Documentation skill is available in the installed skills list
225- If the skill **is available**:
226 - Read and follow the instructions in the API Documentation skill
227 - Use the API design output above as the input
228- If the skill **is NOT available**:
229 - Inform the user: "It looks like the API Documentation skill isn't installed.
230 You can install it and re-run.
231
232If the user says **no**:
233- End the task here

Why you can read it

Nothing in a skill executes. The client loads the text and the model follows it, so a skill can be audited the way a runbook is — by reading it.

What it costs in context

Skills are not billed by the call. They are paid for in context: every token the instructions occupy is a token your code, your diff and your conversation cannot use. Here is what this one takes and when it takes it.

≈210
always loaded
The name and description, so the model knows the skill exists and when to reach for it.
1,290
on trigger
The instruction body, read only when the skill fires.
0.75%
of a 200k window
Ten skills this size would take about 8% of the window before you open a file.
050k100k150k200k context window

1.5k tokens, estimated from the bundle at four bytes to the token, held for the rest of the session once it triggers. Middling. Fine to keep on in a project where you use it weekly, worth unloading in one where you never do.

Servers bill, skills cost

A server charges by the month. A skill charges once per session, in context, and then keeps charging it for as long as the session lives.

Before and after

The same question, put to the same model twice: once as it comes, and once with these instructions loaded.

No worked example has been published for this skill yet.

Ratingno reviews yet

The procedure it runs

The procedure has not been published here. It is in the skill’s own SKILL.md, which its author has not sent to the marketplace yet.

Prose, not code

These steps are written for a model to follow, not executed by a runtime. It can still be told to skip one, and it will say so when it does.

Servers it uses

None. This skill calls no MCP servers at all.

Everything it needs is in the instructions, so it works in a project with nothing connected — the model reads the file and changes how it works with what it can already reach.

It writes no files and reaches no network. All it changes is how the model reasons and writes.

What it asks for
Writes filesno
Network accessno

Read from the allowed-tools line of this skill’s own SKILL.md. A skill grants no permissions of its own — it can only ask for tools your client already has.

What it will not do

Every skill is narrow, and the useful ones say where they stop. These are the jobs this one is the wrong tool for.

What this skill is not for has not been published here. Nothing is implied by that: it is a section the author has not filled in.

What is in the bundle

1 file, 6.0 kB on disk. A bundle is text throughout: the instructions the model reads, plus the templates it fills in.

  • SKILL.md6.0 kB
What is not in it

No dependencies and nothing executable: a skill is text the agent reads, so the bundle is 1 file you can review in full before installing. The MIT licence covers the templates and examples as well as the instructions.

Install

Installing copies the bundle into your project. Nothing runs at install time — the files sit on disk until the model reads them.

You can read the whole bundle before paying — the SKILL.md above is the product, not a preview of it. What the money buys is the delivery: the folder packaged and handed to your machine by key, every update its author ships, and our support if it does not do what this listing says. The terms of use are MIT, set by the author and unchanged by buying it here.

Payment runs through Stripe, on a page like this one rather than a redirect. Once there is an account it joins the same mcprush invoice as everything else you run, so there is never a second card to enter.

Which clients pick it up on their own

A skill is a folder of text. A client with a skills folder reads it without being told; everywhere else the same text works, it is just handed to the model rather than found.

Versions

v1.0 is what is on the shelf; no release here carries a date. Instructions change more often than APIs do — a skill can be rewritten entirely without anything it depends on moving.

v1.0
  • No earlier releases have been published to the marketplace.
Pinning

Put lambdatest/graphql-grpc-helper@1.0 in the install command to hold this exact version. Without the suffix you get whatever is current the day you install, and nothing moves under you afterwards.

Reviews

no reviews yet · no installs yet

Nobody has reviewed this skill yet. The rating is the mean of the reviews written here, so there is none until somebody writes the first.

Who can post

Only accounts that have had the skill installed for fourteen days, so a review is written after living with it rather than after reading it. Publishers may reply once.
