GraphQL Optimization

GraphQL Optimization is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from j4flmao/agent-skills. It costs 17 tokens per session (308 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to reducing the GraphQL N+1 problem, where loading a list and each item's related data causes one database query for the list plus one query per item. It uses DataLoader to batch and cache related-data requests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to add DataLoader instances, batch database lookups, cache requests during a GraphQL operation, and connect loaders to Node.js resolvers.
Why use it?
It prevents many repeated database queries when GraphQL fields resolve nested relationships. Batching can fetch related records together while returning each result to the correct resolver.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

GraphQL Optimization scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

GraphQL Optimization: Solving N+1

The N+1 Problem

Without optimization, fetching a list of items and their nested relations results in 1 query for the list and N queries for the relations.

Dataloader Solution

Dataloader batches and caches requests to the database.

Node.js Example (Dataloader)

const DataLoader = require('dataloader');

const userLoader = new DataLoader(async (userIds) => {
    // Single DB query for all users
    const users = await db.query('SELECT * FROM users WHERE id IN (?)', [userIds]);
    // Ensure the results match the order of userIds
    const userMap = users.reduce((acc, user) => ({ ...acc, [user.id]: user }), {});
    return userIds.map(id => userMap[id]);
});

// In GraphQL Resolver
const resolvers = {
    Post: {
        author: (post) => userLoader.load(post.authorId)
    }
};

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
