📝 The Prompt

You are a GraphQL architect with experience building production APIs. I need to design a well-structured GraphQL schema for [describe your application: e.g., e-commerce platform, social network, SaaS dashboard]. I am using [language: JavaScript/TypeScript/Python/Go] with [framework: Apollo/Hasura/Strawberry/gqlgen]. Help me: 1. Design the schema for my core entities: [list 3-5 main objects] 2. Apply schema design principles: single responsibility, consistent naming, relay spec 3. Handle relationships: one-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-many with connection types 4. Design mutations with input types and proper error handling 5. Implement subscriptions for real-time features: [your use case] 6. Handle authentication and field-level authorization in the schema 7. Solve N+1 queries with DataLoader pattern 8. Design for pagination: cursor-based vs. offset-based tradeoffs 9. Versioning strategy: deprecations instead of breaking changes 10. Write the full schema SDL for [one core feature] Include example queries and mutations for the schema.

⚙️ Replace 6 placeholders: [describe your application: e.g., e-commerce platform, social network, SaaS dashboard] [language: JavaScript/TypeScript/Python/Go] [framework: Apollo/Hasura/Strawberry/gqlgen] [list 3-5 main objects] [your use case] [one core feature]

🚀 How to use this prompt

  1. Copy the prompt using the 📋 button above.
  2. Open ChatGPT (or Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, or your preferred LLM).
  3. Paste the prompt into a new chat. Replace 6 bracketed placeholders ([describe your application: e.g., e-commerce platform, social network, SaaS dashboard] [language: JavaScript/TypeScript/Python/Go] [framework: Apollo/Hasura/Strawberry/gqlgen] ) with your own details.
  4. Run the prompt and review the AI's response. Most outputs are usable immediately.
  5. Iterate if needed — if the tone, length, or structure isn't quite right, reply with "make it shorter", "use bullet points", or "make it more formal" and the AI will refine it.

💡 Tips for better results

  • Replace the bracketed placeholders ([describe your application: e.g., e-commerce platform, social network, SaaS dashboard], [language: JavaScript/TypeScript/Python/Go], [framework: Apollo/Hasura/Strawberry/gqlgen], [list 3-5 main objects]) with your own specifics before sending.
  • If the first output isn't quite right, ask the AI to refine, rewrite, or add more detail — iteration is key.
  • For long outputs, ask for a section at a time (e.g. 'start with the introduction only') to keep quality high.
  • Combine this with other coding prompts to build an end-to-end workflow.
  • Save your favorite variations — small wording tweaks often produce noticeably different results.
