What it does

Shopify Admin Discount Cost Trend is an agent skill from 40RTY-ai/shopify-admin-skills. Read-only: tracks total discount dollars given over configurable time buckets (week/month/quarter), broken down by discount type and code.

Its SKILL.md is about 2k 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-discount-cost-trend”

Requirements

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

Workflow steps

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

  1. Compute window from period × periods_back (e.g., month × 12 → last 12 calendar months starting from the first day of the bucket 11 months…
  2. OPERATION: orders — query
  3. For each order, attribute discount cost
  4. Bucket each order into its period (week-of-year, year-month, or year-quarter) and aggregate
  5. Identify top codes by total cost across the window; aggregate the rest as other

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 Discount Cost Trend loads about 2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 43 tokens; SKILL.md has 528 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~43
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2k

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

Tracks how much money the store gave away in discounts over time, bucketed by week, month, or quarter, and broken down by discount code and discount type (percentage / fixed amount / free shipping / automatic). Answers: "is our discount spend trending up or down, and which campaigns are driving it?" Read-only — no mutations. Complements discount-roi-calculator (per-discount return) with a longitudinal view of total cost.

Prerequisites

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

Parameters

ParameterTypeRequiredDefaultDescription
storestringyes—Store domain (e.g., mystore.myshopify.com)
periodstringnomonthBucket size: week, month, or quarter
periods_backintegerno12Number of buckets to report
top_codesintegerno10Top discount codes to break out individually; remainder grouped as other
include_shipping_discountsboolnotrueWhether to count shipping discounts in the totals
formatstringnohumanOutput format: human or json

Safety

ℹ️ Read-only skill — no mutations are executed. Safe to run at any time.

Workflow Steps

  1. Compute window from period × periods_back (e.g., month × 12 → last 12 calendar months starting from the first day of the bucket 11 months ago)

  2. OPERATION: orders — query Inputs: query: "created_at:>='<window_start>' financial_status:paid", first: 250, select createdAt, discountCodes, currentTotalDiscountsSet, totalDiscountsSet, cartDiscountAmountSet, discountApplications { allocationMethod, targetType, value, ... on DiscountCodeApplication { code }, ... on AutomaticDiscountApplication { title }, ... on ManualDiscountApplication { title } }, shippingLines { discountAllocations { allocatedAmountSet } }, pagination cursor Expected output: All paid orders in the window with discount data; paginate until hasNextPage: false

  3. For each order, attribute discount cost:

    • cart_discount = currentTotalDiscountsSet.shopMoney.amount
    • shipping_discount = sum of shippingLines.discountAllocations.allocatedAmountSet (only if include_shipping_discounts: true)
    • total_discount = cart_discount + shipping_discount
    • Attribute by code: prefer first discountApplications.code for code discounts, title for automatic / manual
  4. Bucket each order into its period (week-of-year, year-month, or year-quarter) and aggregate:

    • Total discount cost per bucket
    • Per discount code per bucket
    • Per discount type per bucket (percentage, fixed_amount, shipping, automatic)
  5. Identify top codes by total cost across the window; aggregate the rest as other

Best Practices

  • Use period: week for promotional businesses with frequent campaigns; period: month for stores with steady evergreen offers; period: quarter for board reporting.
  • A flat or rising trend with no campaign activity often points to automatic discount creep — review automatic discounts that have no end date.
  • Cross-reference the latest bucket against discount-roi-calculator to verify the cost increase is producing matching incremental revenue.
  • Set include_shipping_discounts: false if your accounting books shipping subsidy separately from product discounts.
  • Set up monthly automation: discount spend that drifts above budget should trigger a finance review before it shows up in margin reports.
