What it does

Shopify Admin Inventory Transfer Between Locations is an agent skill from 40RTY-ai/shopify-admin-skills. Moves inventory units from one location to another by decrementing the source and incrementing the destination.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k 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-inventory-transfer-between-locations skill to move inventory units from one location to another by decrementing the source and…”
  • “/shopify-admin-inventory-transfer-between-locations”

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. OPERATION: locations — query
  2. OPERATION: inventoryItems — query
  3. Validate: for each SKU, confirm available >= quantity at source. Warn if not but proceed if dry_run: false
  4. OPERATION: inventoryAdjustQuantities — 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

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Shopify Admin Inventory Transfer Between Locations loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 41 tokens; SKILL.md has 492 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~41
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.7k

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

Transfers a specified quantity of inventory from a source location to a destination location using paired inventory adjustments (decrement source, increment destination). Used for inter-warehouse rebalancing, pre-positioning stock before a sale, or redistributing inventory after a location change. Replaces manual inventory transfer in Shopify Admin.

Prerequisites

  • Authenticated Shopify CLI session: shopify store auth --store <domain> --scopes read_products,write_inventory,read_inventory
  • API scopes: read_products, read_inventory, write_inventory
  • Both source and destination must be active Shopify locations

Parameters

ParameterTypeRequiredDefaultDescription
storestringyes—Store domain (e.g., mystore.myshopify.com)
source_location_idstringyes—GID of the location to move stock FROM
destination_location_idstringyes—GID of the location to move stock TO
transfersarrayyes—List of {sku, quantity} objects to transfer
dry_runboolnotruePreview adjustments without executing mutations
formatstringnohumanOutput format: human or json

Safety

⚠️ inventoryAdjustQuantities directly modifies inventory levels. Decrementing the source below zero is possible if the quantity exceeds available stock — the skill will warn but Shopify does not block negative adjustments. Run with dry_run: true to verify available quantities at the source before committing. This does NOT create a transfer order record in Shopify; it is a direct adjustment.

Workflow Steps

  1. OPERATION: locations — query Inputs: first: 50 Expected output: All locations with id, name — validate source and destination IDs exist

  2. OPERATION: inventoryItems — query Inputs: Batch lookup by SKU to get inventoryItem.id for each transfer SKU Expected output: Inventory items with current quantities at source location

  3. Validate: for each SKU, confirm available >= quantity at source. Warn if not but proceed if dry_run: false

  4. OPERATION: inventoryAdjustQuantities — mutation Inputs: Two changes per SKU: { inventoryItemId, locationId: source, delta: -quantity, reason: "correction" } and { inventoryItemId, locationId: destination, delta: +quantity, reason: "correction" } Expected output: inventoryAdjustmentGroup { changes { delta, location } }, userErrors

Session Tracking

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

On start, emit:

╔══════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║  SKILL: Inventory Transfer Between Locations ║
║  Store: <store domain>                       ║
║  Started: <YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM UTC>             ║
╚══════════════════════════════════════════════╝

After each step, emit:

[N/TOTAL] <QUERY|MUTATION>  <OperationName>
          → Params: <brief summary of key inputs>
          → Result: <count or outcome>

If dry_run: true, prefix every mutation step with [DRY RUN] and do not execute it.

On completion, emit:

For format: human (default):

  Total units moved:  <n>
  Warnings (low stock): <n>
  Errors:             <n>
  Output:             inventory_transfer_<date>.csv

  }
}

Output Format

CSV file inventory_transfer_<YYYY-MM-DD>.csv with columns: sku, product_title, inventory_item_id, source_location, destination_location, quantity_transferred, source_qty_before, source_qty_after, destination_qty_before, destination_qty_after

Error Handling

ErrorCauseRecovery
THROTTLEDAPI rate limit exceededWait 2 seconds, retry up to 3 times
SKU not foundSKU not in catalogLog warning, skip transfer for that SKU
userErrors on adjustmentLocation not stocking itemLog error, skip SKU, continue
Quantity would go negativeTransferring more than availableLog warning; abort SKU if dry_run: false

Best Practices

  • Always run with dry_run: true first — the skill verifies available quantities and shows exactly what will change.
  • This creates raw inventory adjustments, not a transfer order. For audit trail purposes, add a note in the reason field and document the transfer separately.
  • For large transfers (50+ SKUs), run during off-peak hours to avoid interfering with live inventory reads by the storefront.
  • Pair with multi-location-inventory-audit to identify which locations have excess stock before deciding transfer quantities.
