apollographql / apollo-client

Its single skill, also named apollo-client, is a guide for wiring up Apollo Client 4.x in a React app: initial setup, writing queries and mutations with hooks, configuring cache policies, managing local state with reactive variables, and troubleshooting Apollo Client errors. It needs nothing beyond the library itself — our dependency check marks it ready, the only class present.

The repository's own README does not tell you to install the skill from here: its instructions are npx skills add apollographql/skills --skill apollo-client, pointing at Apollo's separate apollographql/skills repository rather than this one. So this page is useful if you're already deep in apollo-client's own source and want the skill's context, but the maintainer-recommended install path for everyone else runs through a different package entirely.

What the rest of the README is about. Apollo Client itself is a general-purpose GraphQL client for React, Vue, Angular, and vanilla JavaScript, with its own devtools, VS Code extension, and a wider "Apollo Platform" (Router, GraphOS, Apollo MCP Server, Connectors) that the README spends most of its length promoting. None of that is a skill; it is the product this one skill is a guide to.

Checked 19 September 2026 from the repo's single skill description and its full README; we have not compared this skill's content against the copy in apollographql/skills to see whether they match.
