apollo-kotlin: Design & UI for AI Agents | OpenAgentSkill

Overview

Apollo Kotlin Guide

Apollo Kotlin is a strongly typed GraphQL client that generates Kotlin models from your GraphQL operations and schema, that can be used in Android, JVM, and Kotlin Multiplatform projects.

Process

Follow this process when adding or working with Apollo Kotlin:

Confirm target platforms (Android, JVM, KMP), GraphQL endpoint(s), and how schemas are sourced.
Configure Gradle and code generation, including custom scalars
Create a shared ApolloClient with auth, logging, and caching.
Implement operations.
Validate behavior with tests and error handling.

Reference Files

Setup - Gradle plugin, schema download, codegen config (including scalars), client configuration (auth, logging, interceptors)
Operations - Queries, mutations, subscriptions, and how to execute them
Caching - Setup and use the normalized cache
Migration Guide - Migrate from Apollo Kotlin 4

Scripts

list-apollo-kotlin-versions.sh - List versions of Apollo Kotlin
list-apollo-kotlin-normalized-cache-versions.sh - List versions of the Apollo Kotlin Normalized Cache library

Key Rules

Prefer Apollo Kotlin v5+. Do not use v3 or older versions.
Keep schema and operations in source control to make builds reproducible.

# Apollo Kotlin Guide

Apollo Kotlin is a strongly typed GraphQL client that generates Kotlin models from your GraphQL operations and schema, that can be used in Android, JVM, and Kotlin Multiplatform projects.

## Process

Follow this process when adding or working with Apollo Kotlin:

- [ ] Confirm target platforms (Android, JVM, KMP), GraphQL endpoint(s), and how schemas are sourced.
- [ ] Configure Gradle and code generation, including custom scalars
- [ ] Create a shared `ApolloClient` with auth, logging, and caching.
- [ ] Implement operations.
- [ ] Validate behavior with tests and error handling.


## Reference Files

- [Setup](references/setup.md) - Gradle plugin, schema download, codegen config (including scalars), client configuration (auth, logging, interceptors)
- [Operations](references/operations.md) - Queries, mutations, subscriptions, and how to execute them
- [Caching](references/caching.md) - Setup and use the normalized cache
- [Migration Guide](references/migrating-from-4.md) - Migrate from Apollo Kotlin 4

## Scripts

- [list-apollo-kotlin-versions.sh](scripts/list-apollo-kotlin-versions.sh) - List versions of Apollo Kotlin
- [list-apollo-kotlin-normalized-cache-versions.sh](scripts/list-apollo-kotlin-normalized-cache-versions.sh) - List versions of the Apollo Kotlin Normalized Cache library

## Key Rules

- Prefer Apollo Kotlin v5+. Do not use v3 or older versions.
- Keep schema and operations in source control to make builds reproducible.

Review the source

Skill source recorded

Skill instructions are recorded. This is not a runtime test, safety guarantee or compatibility certification.

Review before install: Avoid automatic install

License: MIT

Dependency or permission surface needs review
Permission surface may require sandboxing
Scripts use SSH (git@github.com) which may require SSH keys; consider HTTPS fallback.
No explicit limitations section in SKILL.md, though key rules cover version constraints.
Quality score needs review
Permission surface needs review: secrets or environment access, shell or command execution
Stars/forks activity: 113 stars, 12 forks; issue activity unavailable in current metadata
Dependency/runtime risk: command execution surface, credential or environment access
Permission surface: secrets or environment access, shell or command execution

Open full audit

Listed tools are metadata hints, not tested compatibility. Agent prompts are suggested handoffs.

Start with one small task

1Read the source. Confirm the input, expected output, dependencies and permissions.
2Ask your agent for a plan. Approve setup and any costs before running a small isolated test.
