apollo-kotlin
Guide for building applications with Apollo Kotlin, the GraphQL client library for Android and Kotlin. Use this skill when: (1) setting up Apollo Kotlin in a Gradle project for Android, Kotlin/JVM, or KMP, (2) configuring schema download and codegen for GraphQL services, (3) configuring an `ApolloClient` with auth, interceptors, and caching, (4) writing queries, mutations, or subscriptions,
Best use case
apollo-kotlin is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.

When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill
- You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
- You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

# 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 ## 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 - Use Apollo Kotlin v4+, do not use v3 or older versions. - Keep schema and operations in source control to make builds reproducible.
