What it does

Shopify Admin Customer Timeline Export is an agent skill from 40RTY-ai/shopify-admin-skills. Read-only: exports a complete chronological history for a single customer — orders, refunds, returns, addresses, notes, tags, marketing consent, and lifetime spend — as one consolidated CSV.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.1k 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 Sales & Support, covering CSV and tabular files and Customer support. 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

  • Tasks that involve CSV and tabular files
  • Tasks that involve Customer support

Example prompts

  • “/shopify-admin-customer-timeline-export”

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: customer — query
  2. OPERATION: orders — query
  3. Build the merged timeline events: customer creation → each order → each refund/return per order. Sort all events by datetime ascending for…

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 Customer Timeline Export loads about 2.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 57 tokens; SKILL.md has 511 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~57
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.1k

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

Produces a complete, chronological dossier for a single customer. Pulls the customer record (identity, marketing consent, lifetime totals, tags, notes, addresses) and every order they've placed (with line items, fulfillments, refunds, and returns) and emits one merged CSV plus a human-readable timeline. Used by support agents handling escalations, by data export requests, and as the source-of-truth dump before an account merge or deletion. Read-only — no mutations.

Prerequisites

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

Parameters

ParameterTypeRequiredDefaultDescription
storestringyes—Store domain (e.g., mystore.myshopify.com)
formatstringnohumanOutput format: human or json
customer_idstringyes—GID of the customer (e.g., gid://shopify/Customer/12345)
include_line_itemsboolnotrueInclude per-line-item rows in the CSV (one row per line item)
include_refundsboolnotrueInclude refunds and returns as separate rows in the timeline
max_ordersintegerno250Cap on orders fetched (most recent first); 0 = no cap

Safety

ℹ️ Read-only skill — no mutations are executed. Safe to run at any time. Output contains personally identifiable information — handle the resulting CSV with the same care as any customer export and delete it once the support case is closed.

Workflow Steps

  1. OPERATION: customer — query Inputs: id: <customer_id>, select identity fields, lifetime aggregates, tags, note, marketing consent, addresses, createdAt Expected output: Customer header record; abort with a clear error if null

  2. OPERATION: orders — query Inputs: query: "customer_id:<numeric_id>", first: 250, sortKey: CREATED_AT, reverse: true, select id, name, createdAt, processedAt, displayFinancialStatus, displayFulfillmentStatus, totalPriceSet, totalShippingPriceSet, totalDiscountsSet, lineItems(first: 50) { node { id title quantity sku discountedTotalSet variant { sku } } }, fulfillments { id status deliveredAt trackingInfo { number url } }, refunds { id createdAt totalRefundedSet refundLineItems(first: 50) { node { lineItem { id title } quantity subtotalSet } } }, pagination cursor (stop at max_orders if set) Expected output: Full chronological order list with embedded refunds and fulfillments

  3. Build the merged timeline events: customer creation → each order → each refund/return per order. Sort all events by datetime ascending for the human-readable summary; the CSV is also sorted ascending.

Session Tracking

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

On start, emit:

After each step, emit:

          → Params: <brief summary of key inputs>
          → Result: <count or outcome>

On completion, emit:

    ...
  Output: customer_timeline_<customer_id>_<date>.csv

Output Format

Event types include: customer_created, order_placed, order_fulfilled, order_delivered, order_cancelled, refund_issued, return_initiated.

Error Handling

ErrorCauseRecovery

0 ordersNew account or guest-onlyEmit header-only timeline

Pagination beyond max_ordersCap reachedStop, set truncated: true

Best Practices

  • Run before any merge, deletion, or escalation — pre-state is unreconstructable once a merge commits.
  • For high-volume customers set max_orders: 50; full lifetime is rarely needed for one support case.
  • CSV is event-sorted so downstream pivoting works without reshaping.
  • Pair with customer-merge: run on both winner and loser before merging for a permanent pre-merge record.
