What it does

Shopify Admin Multi Location Inventory Audit is an agent skill from 40RTY-ai/shopify-admin-skills. Audit inventory levels across all active locations, flagging variants where Available quantity is negative or Committed exceeds On Hand — a signal of inventory sync drift.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k 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-multi-location-inventory-audit”

Requirements

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

Workflow steps

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

  1. OPERATION: locations — query
  2. OPERATION: inventoryItems — query (via location.inventoryLevels)

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 Multi Location Inventory Audit loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 54 tokens; SKILL.md has 459 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~54
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.9k

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

Surfaces inventory sync discrepancies across locations — specifically variants where available is negative or committed > on_hand, which indicate drift between Shopify's committed counter and actual physical stock. Common causes: 3PL delays posting returns, WMS deductions stacking with Shopify's committed count, or multi-store sync issues. Read-only — no mutations. Replaces manual inventory reconciliation spreadsheets and the need to navigate each location separately in the Shopify admin.

Prerequisites

  • shopify auth login --store <domain>
  • API scopes: read_products, read_inventory, read_locations

Parameters

ParameterTypeRequiredDefaultDescription
storestringyes—Store domain (e.g., mystore.myshopify.com)
formatstringnohumanOutput format: human or json
dry_runboolnofalsePreview operations without executing mutations
location_idsarrayno—Specific location GIDs to audit (default: all active locations)
flag_negative_availableboolnotrueFlag variants where available < 0
flag_committed_exceeds_onhandboolnotrueFlag variants where committed > on_hand
include_untrackedboolnofalseInclude variants with inventory tracking disabled

Workflow Steps

  1. OPERATION: locations — query Inputs: first: 50, query: "is_active:true" Expected output: List of active location IDs and names; filter by location_ids parameter if provided

  2. OPERATION: inventoryItems — query (via location.inventoryLevels) Inputs: Per location: fetch inventory levels with available, committed, onHand quantities per variant Expected output: Per-location inventory matrix; compute discrepancies; collect flagged variants

Note: inventoryItems:query in the frontmatter represents querying inventory item data via location inventory levels. The Shopify Admin API surfaces inventory per location through location.inventoryLevels.

Session Tracking

Best Practices

  1. Run this audit weekly — inventory drift accumulates gradually and is easiest to fix before it compounds.
  2. A negative available value does not always indicate a real problem — it can occur legitimately during flash sales. Cross-reference with your order volume before making manual corrections.
  3. Use the CSV output with the inventory-adjustment skill to apply corrections immediately after the audit identifies discrepancies.
  4. Run audit before and after a 3PL returns batch posts to measure whether return inventory is being correctly credited.
  5. Filter to a single location_id for targeted audits (e.g., just your main warehouse) to reduce API calls on large catalogs.
