Teach Yourself GraphQL in 2026: An Anti-blueprint
summary
Generates a 66-line dream query with an agent (Claude) then auto-creates a matching schema, stub resolvers and Express backing services so the query actually runs end-to-end; uses Apollo Server (thin GraphQL.js wrapper) and Apollo skills to scaffold types, descriptions and pagination. Demonstrates persisted documents, rate/depth limits, DataLoader, client/server caching and defer/stream for incremental delivery, and advises locking introspection in production. The live demo completes successfully and returns real JSON data.
