> This extension performs GraphQL schema introspection using the buildClientSchema, getIntrospectionQuery, and printSchema functions from the graphql package to reverse engineer Kibela's API. [For more details, see her](https://github.com/kiwamizamurai/vscode-kibela/blob/main/reverse_engineering/main.ts)
