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
ApolloClientwith 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.

Guide users through a structured workflow for co-authoring documentation. Use when user wants to write documentation, proposals, technical specs, decision docs, or similar structured content. This workflow helps users efficiently transfer context, refine content through iteration, and verify the doc works for readers. Trigger when user mentions writing docs, creating proposals, drafting specs, or similar documentation tasks.
Automatically creates user-facing changelogs from git commits by analyzing commit history, categorizing changes, and transforming technical commits into clear, customer-friendly release notes. Turns hours of manual changelog writing into minutes of automated generation.
Use when implementing any feature or bugfix, before writing implementation code
Use when you have a spec or requirements for a multi-step task, before touching code
Use when creating new skills, editing existing skills, or verifying skills work before deployment
Use when writing or improving README files. Not all READMEs are the same — provides templates and guidance matched to your audience and project type.

Official Opentrons Protocol API for OT-2 and Flex robots. Use when writing protocols specifically for Opentrons hardware with full access to Protocol API v2 features. Best for production Opentrons protocols, official API compatibility. For multi-vendor automation or broader equipment control use pylabrobot.
