Pagination — Pagination Pattern Reference

Quick-reference skill for pagination strategies, trade-offs, and implementation patterns.

When to Use

Designing paginated REST or GraphQL APIs
Choosing between offset, cursor, and keyset pagination
Optimizing database queries for large datasets
Implementing infinite scroll or page-based navigation
Debugging pagination edge cases (duplicates, missing items)

Commands

`intro`

scripts/script.sh intro

Overview of pagination — why it exists, core concepts, and terminology.

`offset`

scripts/script.sh offset

Offset-based pagination (LIMIT/OFFSET) — how it works, SQL examples, and pitfalls.

`cursor`

scripts/script.sh cursor

Cursor-based pagination — opaque tokens, GraphQL Relay spec, implementation details.

`keyset`

scripts/script.sh keyset

Keyset (seek) pagination — using WHERE clauses instead of OFFSET for O(1) performance.

`compare`

scripts/script.sh compare

Side-by-side comparison of all pagination strategies with trade-off matrix.

`pitfalls`

scripts/script.sh pitfalls

Common pagination bugs: phantom reads, duplicates on insert, off-by-one errors.

`api`

scripts/script.sh api

API design patterns for pagination — headers, link relations, envelope formats.

`sql`

scripts/script.sh sql

SQL cookbook — optimized queries for each pagination strategy with index advice.

`help`

scripts/script.sh help

`version`

scripts/script.sh version

Configuration

Variable	Description
`PAGINATION_DIR`	Data directory (default: ~/.pagination/)
