What it does

Shopify Admin Compare At Price Cleanup is an agent skill from 40RTY-ai/shopify-admin-skills. Removes stale compareAtPrice values where current price = compareAtPrice (no real discount) or compareAtPrice has been set for over a configurable age threshold.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k 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 sits in Backend & APIs. 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.

When your agent uses it

  • Backend & APIs work in your project

Example prompts

  • “Use the shopify-admin-compare-at-price-cleanup skill to remove stale compareAtPrice values where current price = compareAtPrice (no real discount)…”
  • “/shopify-admin-compare-at-price-cleanup”

Requirements

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

Workflow steps

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

  1. OPERATION: productVariants — query
  2. Filter to variants meeting either rule: clean_no_discount AND compareAtPrice != null AND parseFloat(compareAtPrice) <= parseFloat(price)…
  3. OPERATION: productVariantsBulkUpdate — mutation (skipped when dry_run: true)
  4. Write the CSV (always, even on dry run) for audit trail and revert capability.

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 Compare At Price Cleanup loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 50 tokens; SKILL.md has 559 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~50
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.7k

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 variants with a compareAtPrice that no longer represents a genuine discount and clears it, so storefront strikethrough pricing reflects real savings rather than legacy noise. Two conditions are flagged: (a) compareAtPrice <= price (no discount, often left over from a price increase), and (b) compareAtPrice set for longer than max_age_days (stale "always on sale" optics that hurt long-term price perception and can violate advertising standards in some regions). Defaults to dry-run.

Prerequisites

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

Parameters

ParameterTypeRequiredDefaultDescription
storestringyes—Store domain (e.g., mystore.myshopify.com)
dry_runboolnotruePreview the cleanup without executing mutations
clean_no_discountboolnotrueClear compareAtPrice when price >= compareAtPrice
clean_staleboolnotrueClear compareAtPrice set longer than max_age_days
max_age_daysintegerno90Age threshold in days for the stale rule (uses variant updatedAt as proxy)
collection_idstringno—Optional collection GID to scope the cleanup
tag_filterstringno—Optional product tag to scope the cleanup
formatstringnohumanOutput format: human or json

Safety

⚠️ Step 2 executes productVariantsBulkUpdate mutations that overwrite compareAtPrice to null. The original strikethrough value is not preserved server-side — record the dry-run CSV before committing if you want a restore path. Always start with dry_run: true and review the CSV before running with dry_run: false.

Workflow Steps

  1. OPERATION: productVariants — query Inputs: first: 250, query: <built from collection_id or tag_filter>, select price, compareAtPrice, updatedAt, product { id, title, vendor }, sku, pagination cursor Expected output: All variants in scope with current pricing; paginate until hasNextPage: false

  2. Filter to variants meeting either rule: clean_no_discount AND compareAtPrice != null AND parseFloat(compareAtPrice) <= parseFloat(price), OR clean_stale AND compareAtPrice != null AND (now - updatedAt) > max_age_days. Group by product.id for batched mutation.

  3. OPERATION: productVariantsBulkUpdate — mutation (skipped when dry_run: true) Inputs: Per product, productId plus [{ id: variantId, compareAtPrice: null }] Expected output: Updated variants with compareAtPrice set to null; collect userErrors per batch

  4. Write the CSV (always, even on dry run) for audit trail and revert capability.

Session Tracking

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

On start, emit:

╔══════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║  SKILL: Compare-At Price Cleanup             ║
║  Store: <store domain>                       ║

          → 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:

}

Output Format

CSV file compare_at_cleanup_<YYYY-MM-DD>.csv with columns: variant_id, product_id, product_title, vendor, sku, price, original_compare_at_price, rule_matched, variant_updated_at, mutation_status

Error Handling

ErrorCauseRecovery
userErrors in mutation responseVariant locked or in active subscription contractLog per-variant error, continue with remaining variants

compareAtPrice already null mid-runAnother process cleared it concurrentlySkip, count as no-op success
updatedAt newer than expectedConcurrent edit during the auditRe-query single variant before mutation; skip if rule no longer matches

Best Practices

  1. Always run with dry_run: true first and review the CSV. There is no bulk undo for compareAtPrice clearing.
  2. Disable clean_stale (set clean_stale: false) during long planned promotions — your "stale" sale is actually intentional.
  3. Use collection_id to scope the cleanup to evergreen products and exclude an active sale collection.
  4. After running live, spot-check 5–10 variants in the storefront to confirm strikethrough pricing is gone.
  5. Schedule a quarterly run as part of catalog hygiene; combine with seo-metadata-audit and product-data-completeness-score for an end-of-quarter merchandising sweep.
