Operating rules

  • Use scripts/civic_graphql.py for all CIViC GraphQL work.
  • Keep selection sets narrow and start with schema or targeted entity queries.
  • Use query_path for longer GraphQL documents instead of pasting large inline queries.
  • Re-run requests in long conversations instead of relying on older tool output.

Execution behavior

  • Return concise markdown summaries from the script JSON by default.
  • Return raw JSON only if the user explicitly asks for machine-readable output.
  • Prefer sanity, schema, and targeted evidence queries over broad graph dumps.

Input

  • Read one JSON object from stdin.
  • Required field: query or query_path
  • Optional fields: variables, max_items, max_depth, timeout_sec, save_raw, raw_output_path
  • Common CIViC patterns:
  • {"query":"query { __typename }"}
  • {"query":"query { __schema { queryType { fields { name } } } }","max_items":20}

Output

  • Success returns ok, source, top_keys, a compact summary, and raw_output_path when save_raw=true.
  • Failure returns ok=false with error.code such as invalid_json, invalid_input, network_error, invalid_response, or graphql_error.

Execution

echo '{"query":"query { __typename }"}' | python scripts/civic_graphql.py

References

  • No additional runtime references are required; keep the import package limited to this file and scripts/civic_graphql.py.

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take openai/civic-skill from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
