What it does

Shopify Admin Gift Card Balance Report is an agent skill from 40RTY-ai/shopify-admin-skills. Read-only: lists all active gift cards with remaining balance, expiry, and last-used date for liability tracking.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k 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 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

  • “/shopify-admin-gift-card-balance-report”

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: giftCards — query
  2. Flag cards expiring within expiring_within_days
  3. Aggregate: total outstanding balance (liability), count by status, total initial value issued

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 Gift Card Balance Report loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 38 tokens; SKILL.md has 318 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~38
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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.

Best Practices

  • The total outstanding balance is a deferred revenue liability on your balance sheet — include it in monthly financial close.
  • Gift cards expiring within expiring_within_days represent imminent liability reduction — no action needed, but useful for forecasting.
  • For high-value outstanding balances, cross-reference with customer-spend-tier-tagger to target high-balance card holders with reminder campaigns.
  • Pair with gift-card-issuance (conversion-optimization skill) to track cards issued vs. redeemed over time.
