                  Agent Skills for Subgraphs

                  A collection of AI agent skills providing expert knowledge for developing, testing, and deploying subgraphs with The Graph protocol.

                  Overview

                  This repository provides subgraph development expertise for AI coding assistants in two formats:

                  Claude Code Pluginskills/Claude Code CLI
                  OpenClaw Skillsopenclaw/OpenClaw / Clawdbot

                  Same knowledge, different agent platforms.

                  Skills

                  Subgraph Development

                  Core development knowledge including:

                  • Schema design and GraphQL types
                  • Manifest configuration (subgraph.yaml)
                  • AssemblyScript mapping handlers
                  • Data source templates
                  • Contract bindings and calls
                  • Subgraph Composition - Combine multiple subgraphs
                  • Common Patterns - ERC20, DEX, NFT, Lending, Staking, Governance
                  • Subgraph Uncrashable (safe code generation)
                  • Deployment workflows

                  Subgraph Optimization

                  Performance best practices from The Graph docs:

                  • Pruning with indexerHints
                  • Arrays with @derivedFrom
                  • Immutable entities and Bytes as IDs
                  • Avoiding eth_calls
                  • Timeseries and aggregations
                  • Grafting for hotfixes

                  Subgraph Testing

                  Quality assurance with Matchstick and Subgraph Linter:

                  • Subgraph Linter - Static analysis to catch bugs before runtime
                  • Common Errors - Troubleshooting guide for indexing issues
                  • Unit testing setup and patterns with Matchstick
                  • Mock events and contract calls
                  • Entity assertions
                  • Data source mocking
                  • CI/CD integration

                  Usage Examples

                  Once installed, the AI assistant will have access to subgraph development expertise:

                  Schema Design:

                  “Create a schema for tracking DEX swaps with proper relationships”

                  Optimization:

                  “How do I optimize my subgraph for faster indexing?”

                  Testing:

                  “Write unit tests for my Transfer event handler”
