What it does

Shopify Admin Collection Reorganization is an agent skill from 40RTY-ai/shopify-admin-skills. Reorder products in a manual Shopify collection by inventory level, moving in-stock products to the top and out-of-stock to the bottom.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k 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-collection-reorganization”

Requirements

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

Workflow steps

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

  1. OPERATION: collection — query
  2. OPERATION: collectionReorderProducts — 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 Collection Reorganization loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 44 tokens; SKILL.md has 546 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~44
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.8k

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

Reorders products in a manual Shopify collection by inventory level without navigating the Shopify admin UI. This skill queries all products in the collection, computes the desired sort order by totalInventory, and applies it in a single collectionReorderProducts mutation. Note: only works on manual (custom) collections — smart collections managed by Shopify rules are not supported.

Prerequisites

  • Authenticated Shopify CLI session: shopify auth login --store <domain>
  • API scopes: read_products, write_products

Parameters

ParameterTypeRequiredDefaultDescription
storestringyes—Store domain (e.g., mystore.myshopify.com)
formatstringnohumanOutput format: human or json
dry_runboolnofalsePreview operations without executing mutations
collection_idstringyes—GID of the manual collection (e.g., gid://shopify/Collection/123)
sort_bystringnoinventory_descinventory_desc (highest stock first) or inventory_asc (lowest stock first)

Safety

⚠️ Step 2 executes collectionReorderProducts which changes the product display order immediately. The sort is reversible — run again with the opposite sort_by to restore previous order — but the original custom order cannot be recovered once overwritten. The moves array passed to the mutation must be complete; partial moves produce undefined ordering. Always run with dry_run: true first to review the computed sort order before committing.

collectionReorderProducts only works on manual (custom) collections. If the collection has sortOrder other than MANUAL, the skill must abort with a clear message: "Cannot reorder: collection sort order is not MANUAL. Switch the collection to manual sorting in the Shopify admin first."

Workflow Steps

  1. OPERATION: collection — query Inputs: id: <collection_id>, first: 250, pagination cursor Expected output: Collection metadata (title, sortOrder) and all product nodes with totalInventory; verify sortOrder == "MANUAL" — abort if not; paginate until all products fetched

  2. OPERATION: collectionReorderProducts — mutation Inputs: id: <collection_id>, moves array sorted by totalInventory per sort_by parameter — each move is {id: <product_id>, newPosition: "<index>"} (0-indexed string) Expected output: job.id and job.done; userErrors

GraphQL Operations

Session Tracking

Claude MUST emit the following output at each stage. This is mandatory.

On start, emit:

╔══════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║  SKILL: collection-reorganization            ║
║  Store: <store domain>                       ║
║  Started: <YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM UTC>             ║
╚══════════════════════════════════════════════╝

After each step, emit:

[N/TOTAL] <QUERY|MUTATION>  <OperationName>
          → Params: <brief summary of key inputs>
          → Result: <count or outcome>

If dry_run: true, prefix every mutation step with [DRY RUN] and do not execute it.

On completion, emit:

For format: human (default):

Output Format

No CSV output. The skill reports the new sort order in the session completion summary. Use dry_run: true to preview the computed position list without committing.

Error Handling

ErrorCauseRecovery
sortOrder is not MANUALCollection is a smart/automated collectionSwitch collection to manual ordering in Shopify admin
userErrors in mutationInvalid product ID or positionCheck all product IDs belong to the collection
Collection not foundInvalid collection GIDVerify the GID in Shopify admin
Rate limit (429)Too many paginated requestsReduce first to 100 and retry

Best Practices

  1. Always run dry_run: true first — the skill will print the proposed product order so you can verify before committing.
  2. collectionReorderProducts is asynchronous — job.done may be false immediately. The sort completes within a few seconds; refresh the storefront to verify.
  3. Use sort_by: inventory_asc to push out-of-stock products to the bottom of the collection page, reducing customer frustration.
  4. For large collections (250+ products), pagination is automatic but increases execution time. Consider running during off-peak hours.
  5. This skill only reads totalInventory from the products node — it does not aggregate per-location. If you need location-specific sorting, use the low-inventory-restock skill to identify which products to prioritize.
