What it does

Shopify Admin Gift Card Liability Report is an agent skill from 40RTY-ai/shopify-admin-skills. Read-only: calculates total outstanding gift card balance as a financial liability, broken down by issue cohort and remaining balance band.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k 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 Business, Finance & HR. 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

  • Business, Finance & HR work in your project

Example prompts

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

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. Outstanding balance = sum of balance.amount (the liability)
  2. Issue cohort = year-month of createdAt
  3. Balance band = first band edge ≥ remaining balance, or >max for cards above the largest edge
  4. Breakage candidate = card with balance > 0 and (updatedAt older than stale_days ago OR expiresOn within next 30 days)

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

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Shopify Admin Gift Card Liability Report loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 45 tokens; SKILL.md has 579 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~45
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.8k

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

Calculates the store's total outstanding gift card liability — the sum of unredeemed gift card balances that represent a future obligation to deliver goods. Breaks the liability down by issue-month cohort and remaining-balance band so finance can size the obligation, age it, and forecast breakage. This is the bookkeeping companion to gift-card-balance-report (which lists individual cards). Read-only — no mutations.

Prerequisites

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

Parameters

ParameterTypeRequiredDefaultDescription
storestringyes—Store domain (e.g., mystore.myshopify.com)
statusstringnoenabledFilter by status: enabled, disabled, or all
balance_bandsarrayno[10, 50, 100, 250, 500]Upper edges of balance bands (in store currency) for distribution table
stale_daysintegerno365Cards untouched longer than this are flagged as breakage candidates
as_ofstringnotoday (UTC)ISO date for the "as of" snapshot label on the report
formatstringnohumanOutput format: human or json

Safety

ℹ️ Read-only skill — no mutations are executed. The dollar figure produced is the deferred-revenue liability for accounting purposes; review with your accountant before booking journal entries.

Liability Model

For every enabled gift card with balance > 0:

  1. Outstanding balance = sum of balance.amount (the liability)
  2. Issue cohort = year-month of createdAt
  3. Balance band = first band edge ≥ remaining balance, or >max for cards above the largest edge
  4. Breakage candidate = card with balance > 0 and (updatedAt older than stale_days ago OR expiresOn within next 30 days)

Aggregations:

  • Total outstanding (overall + per cohort + per band)
  • Card counts per cohort and per band
  • Weighted-average days since issue
  • Breakage candidate total — useful for revenue recognition under ASC 606 / IFRS 15 for stores in jurisdictions where breakage can be recognized

Workflow Steps

  1. OPERATION: giftCards — query Inputs: query: "status:<status> balance:>0", first: 250, select id, balance, initialValue, createdAt, updatedAt, expiresOn, enabled, lastCharacters, pagination cursor Expected output: All gift cards with positive balance; paginate until hasNextPage: false

  2. For each card, compute issue cohort, balance band, and breakage flag

  3. Aggregate totals: overall liability, per-cohort table, per-band table, breakage candidate subtotal

  4. Compute redeemed-to-date as Σ(initialValue - balance) for context

Error Handling

Multi-currency cardsCards issued in different presentment currenciesGroup totals by currency code; do not sum across currencies
Card with null expiresOnNo expiry policyTreat as non-expiring; do not include in expiry-based breakage

Best Practices

  • Run on the last day of every accounting period so the figure aligns with your balance-sheet close.
  • The total outstanding amount is the deferred-revenue liability — book it in your accounting system, do not treat issued gift cards as revenue.
  • Breakage policy varies by jurisdiction; consult your accountant before recognizing breakage candidates as revenue. The stale_days and expiresOn flags here are inputs to that policy, not a substitute for it.
  • Track the redemption-rate trend month over month — declining redemption can indicate a customer-experience issue (recipients can't find / remember their cards).
  • Pair with gift-card-issuance to monitor flow: liability should increase by issuance and decrease by redemption + breakage.
