What it does

Shopify Admin Discount Hygiene Cleanup is an agent skill from 40RTY-ai/shopify-admin-skills. Finds expired, zero-usage, or duplicate discount codes and optionally deactivates or deletes them.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k 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

  • “Use the shopify-admin-discount-hygiene-cleanup skill to find expired, zero-usage, or duplicate discount codes and optionally deactivates or deletes…”
  • “/shopify-admin-discount-hygiene-cleanup”

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: discountNodes — query
  2. Flag discounts matching: flag_expired (status = EXPIRED) and/or flag_zero_usage (asyncUsageCount == 0 AND created >…
  3. OPERATION: discountCodeDelete — 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 Discount Hygiene Cleanup loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 34 tokens; SKILL.md has 403 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~34
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

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

Audits the discount catalog for expired codes, codes with zero redemptions, and duplicate code prefixes. Discount sprawl accumulates over months of campaigns and makes the admin difficult to navigate. Optionally deletes flagged codes. Replaces manual discount cleanup and builds on the discount-ab-analysis skill with a write step.

Prerequisites

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

Parameters

ParameterTypeRequiredDefaultDescription
storestringyes—Store domain (e.g., mystore.myshopify.com)
flag_expiredboolnotrueFlag/delete discounts past their end date
flag_zero_usageboolnotrueFlag/delete discounts with 0 redemptions older than N days
zero_usage_min_age_daysintegerno30Age threshold for zero-usage flags
dry_runboolnotruePreview without executing mutations
formatstringnohumanOutput format: human or json

Safety

⚠️ discountCodeDelete permanently removes discount codes. Deleted codes cannot be recovered. Customers who received a deleted code will find it invalid. Run with dry_run: true to review the flagged list before committing. Always check that expired codes are not referenced in active email campaigns before deleting.

Workflow Steps

  1. OPERATION: discountNodes — query Inputs: first: 250, select discount { ... on DiscountCodeBasic { codes, usageLimit, asyncUsageCount, endsAt, status } }, pagination cursor Expected output: All discount codes with usage and expiry data; paginate until hasNextPage: false

  2. Flag discounts matching: flag_expired (status = EXPIRED) and/or flag_zero_usage (asyncUsageCount == 0 AND created > zero_usage_min_age_days ago)

  3. OPERATION: discountCodeDelete — mutation Inputs: id: <discount_node_id> Expected output: deletedCodeDiscountId, userErrors

Best Practices

  • Run quarterly — discount code sprawl accumulates quickly with seasonal campaigns.
  • Check with your email marketing team before deleting zero-usage codes — they may be in a scheduled campaign that hasn't launched yet.
  • Keep flag_zero_usage age at 30+ days to avoid deleting codes from recently launched campaigns.
  • Automatic/percentage discounts (not code-based) are not cleaned up by this skill — those are managed separately.
