What it does

Shopify Admin Abandoned Cart Recovery is an agent skill from 40RTY-ai/shopify-admin-skills. Query checkouts abandoned in the last N days, generate unique discount codes per customer, and tag them for re-engagement.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts. Compatibility notes: Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI

It works with Shopify. The repository describes itself as: Community-maintained AI agent skills for operating Shopify stores — workflows, optimization, reports and more. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/shopify-admin-abandoned-cart-recovery”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. OPERATION: abandonedCheckouts — query
  2. OPERATION: discountCodeBulkCreate — mutation
  3. OPERATION: tagsAdd — mutation

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6765cb4. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • shopify

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

  • Compatibility

    Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Shopify Admin Abandoned Cart Recovery loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 40 tokens; SKILL.md has 523 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~40
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.9k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Purpose

Identifies customers who started checkout but did not complete their purchase, generates a unique discount code for each one, and tags them in Shopify so they can be targeted in follow-up campaigns. This skill handles the Shopify-native data layer (querying, discounts, tagging); sending the actual email requires an external tool.

Prerequisites

  • Authenticated Shopify CLI session: shopify auth login --store <domain>
  • API scopes: read_checkouts, write_price_rules, write_discount_codes, write_customers

Parameters

ParameterTypeRequiredDefaultDescription
storestringyes—Store domain (e.g., mystore.myshopify.com)
formatstringnohumanOutput format: human or json
dry_runboolnofalsePreview operations without executing mutations
days_backintegerno7Lookback window for abandoned checkouts
min_cart_valuefloatno0Minimum cart total to include (USD)
discount_pctintegerno10Discount percentage to create per customer
code_prefixstringnoRECOVERPrefix for generated discount codes
tagstringnocart-recoveryTag applied to eligible customers

Safety

⚠️ Steps 2 and 3 execute mutations (discount code creation, customer tagging). Discount codes created via discountCodeBulkCreate cannot be bulk-deleted via the Admin API — they must be removed individually or via the price rule. Run with dry_run: true to verify eligible customer count before committing.

Workflow Steps

  1. OPERATION: abandonedCheckouts — query Inputs: first: 250, query: "created_at:>='<NOW - days_back days>'", pagination cursor Expected output: List of checkout objects with email, totalPrice, createdAt, lineItems; paginate until hasNextPage: false

  2. OPERATION: discountCodeBulkCreate — mutation Inputs: For each eligible customer email: a unique code {code_prefix}-{UUID[:8].toUpperCase()}, percentage discount discount_pct, usage limit 1, expiry 30 days Expected output: Confirmation of code creation with code and priceRule.id; collect userErrors

  3. OPERATION: tagsAdd — mutation Inputs: Customer id (from checkout email lookup), tag string from tag parameter Expected output: Updated customer tags; collect userErrors

Best Practices

  • Run with dry_run: true first and confirm eligible customer count — discount codes cannot be bulk-deleted via API and will persist in your price rules until manually removed.
  • Set min_cart_value to focus recovery effort on higher-value carts (e.g., 50 for $50+). Small carts often have lower recovery intent and may not justify a discount.
  • Use a unique tag per run (e.g., cart-recovery-2026-04-11) so you can identify exactly which customers were targeted in each campaign and avoid re-targeting them in subsequent runs.
  • The code_prefix should be meaningful to operators reviewing discount codes in Shopify Admin (e.g., CART10 for a 10% cart recovery discount).
  • This skill produces the data layer. Use Shopify Email or another email tool to send the generated codes to customers.
