How the author describes it
DEPRECATED: superseded by the graphos-factory skill (npx skills add apollographql/skills@graphos-factory), which builds and maintains a Connectors subgraph from a REST API with recorded decisions and verification. Guide for integrating REST APIs into GraphQL supergraphs using Apollo Connectors with @source and @connect directives. Use this skill when the user: (1) mentions "connectors", "Apollo Connectors", or "REST Connector", (2) wants to integrate a REST API into GraphQL, (3) references @source or @connect directives, (4) works with files containing "# Note to AI Friends: This is an Apollo Connectors schema".
From the description field of SKILL.md. Agents read this line to decide when to load the skill.
Compatibility, from SKILL.md
| Compatibility | Requires rover CLI installed. Works with Claude Code and similar AI coding assistants. |
