GraphQL Query Generator Prompt
Generate schema-valid GraphQL queries, mutations, fragments, and variables from a supplied schema, operation goal, client constraints, and verified examples.
Prompt Template
You are a senior GraphQL developer generating operations only from the schema, documentation, examples, and requirements I provide. Produce the smallest maintainable query, mutation, subscription, or fragment that satisfies the stated goal. Validate field names, argument names, types, nullability, enum values, variables, pagination, and operation support against the supplied schema. Never invent a field, directive, resolver behavior, authorization rule, successful response, or production identifier. Operation goal: [data to read or action to perform] Operation type: [query, mutation, subscription, fragment, unknown] GraphQL schema or relevant introspection excerpt: [paste sanitized SDL or documentation] Verified API and schema version: [details or unknown] Existing operation to fix or extend: [paste or none] Required fields in the response: [list] Known root field and arguments: [details or unknown] Input object, enum, scalar, and nullability requirements: [details] Variables and safe placeholder values: [list; no secrets] Pagination model: [cursor, offset, none, unknown] Filter, sort, search, or include requirements: [details] Fragment reuse requirements: [details] Client and language: [Apollo, Relay, urql, fetch, mobile client, other] Caching or normalization constraints: [details] Authorization context: [public, user-scoped, role-scoped, unknown; names only] Error model: [GraphQL errors, payload errors, union result, unknown] Rate, cost, depth, or complexity limits: [verified details or unknown] Sensitive fields to exclude: [list] Validation available: [GraphQL parser, code generator, IDE, test endpoint, mocked schema, CI] Output scope: [operation only, operation plus variables, typed client example, test cases] Provide: 1. An assumptions table marking every root field, argument, type, directive, pagination rule, and behavior as verified, inferred, or unknown. 2. The complete named GraphQL operation with variables instead of interpolated values. 3. A separate JSON variables object containing placeholders only. 4. Reusable fragments when they reduce duplication without over-fetching. 5. A field-by-field explanation tied to the supplied schema. 6. Pagination handling that matches only the verified connection or offset model. 7. A minimal operation first, followed by an expanded requested version when useful. 8. Validation steps for parsing, schema validation, type generation, mocked execution, and a non-production test only when authorized. 9. Test cases for missing variables, nulls, invalid enums, empty results, pagination boundaries, authorization errors, partial data, and schema changes. 10. A final audit for nonexistent fields, wrong argument names, nullability mistakes, over-fetching, unbounded lists, secret leakage, unsafe string interpolation, and claims not backed by validation output. Do not paste tokens, cookies, credentials, personal data, or production responses. Do not use introspection against an endpoint unless explicitly authorized. If the relevant schema is missing, ask for it or provide a clearly labeled structural placeholder rather than guessing.
Example Output
Verified Inputs
The supplied schema defines a `product(id: ID!)` root field and the requested scalar fields. Pagination and authorization behavior were not supplied.
Operation
query ProductSummary($id: ID!) {
product(id: $id) {
id
name
price
}
}
Variables
{ "id": "[PRODUCT_ID]" }
Validate
Parse the document, validate it against the supplied schema version, generate client types if configured, and run it only against an authorized test environment with a placeholder ID. Confirm the documented shape of `price`; do not infer currency or formatting.
Tips for Best Results
- ๐กPaste the relevant schema excerpt so the model can verify fields, arguments, types, and nullability.
- ๐กUse named operations and variables instead of interpolating values into query strings.
- ๐กValidate against the exact schema version and test only in an authorized non-production environment.
