What it does

Shopify Admin Order Cancellation Analysis is an agent skill from 40RTY-ai/shopify-admin-skills. Read-only: tracks cancellation rate over time and breaks down cancelled orders by cancelReason to surface fraud, inventory, customer, and declined-payment patterns.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k 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-order-cancellation-analysis”

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: orders — query
  2. Partition orders into cancelled (cancelledAt != null) and not cancelled. Compute overall rate = cancelled / total.
  3. For cancelled orders, group by cancelReason and by time bucket. Compute rate per bucket and per reason.
  4. Identify time buckets where any single reason exceeds 2x its trailing 7-bucket average — flag as anomalies.

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 Order Cancellation Analysis loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 52 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
~52
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k

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

Computes cancellation rate (cancelled orders / total orders) over a configurable window, broken down by cancelReason (CUSTOMER, FRAUD, INVENTORY, DECLINED, OTHER, STAFF). Surfaces shifts in cancellation patterns — for example, a spike in INVENTORY cancellations suggests a stock data integrity problem, while a spike in FRAUD suggests a coordinated attack. Read-only — no mutations.

Prerequisites

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

Parameters

ParameterTypeRequiredDefaultDescription
storestringyes—Store domain (e.g., mystore.myshopify.com)
days_backintegerno30Lookback window for orders included in the analysis
bucketstringnodayTime bucket: day, week, or month
min_valuefloatno0Only include orders above this total value
reason_filterstringno—Optional filter to a single cancelReason
formatstringnohumanOutput format: human or json

Safety

ℹ️ Read-only skill — no mutations are executed. Safe to run at any time. The analysis uses cancelReason as recorded by Shopify or staff at cancellation time — accuracy depends on staff selecting the correct reason.

Workflow Steps

  1. OPERATION: orders — query Inputs: query: "created_at:>='<NOW - days_back days>'", first: 250, select cancelledAt, cancelReason, displayFinancialStatus, totalPriceSet, pagination cursor Expected output: All orders created in the window (cancelled and non-cancelled) for rate calculation; paginate until hasNextPage: false

  2. Partition orders into cancelled (cancelledAt != null) and not cancelled. Compute overall rate = cancelled / total.

  3. For cancelled orders, group by cancelReason and by time bucket. Compute rate per bucket and per reason.

  4. Identify time buckets where any single reason exceeds 2x its trailing 7-bucket average — flag as anomalies.

Best Practices

  • A baseline cancellation rate of 1–3% is typical; spikes above 5% warrant investigation.
  • Sustained INVENTORY cancellations indicate a sync issue between storefront stock and warehouse — pair this skill with multi-location-inventory-audit.
  • Sustained FRAUD cancellations indicate either improving fraud filters (good) or a coordinated attack (bad) — cross-reference with order-risk-report.
  • High DECLINED rates often correlate with checkout friction or expired payment methods — investigate alongside checkout abandonment data.
  • Run weekly to catch reason-mix shifts early; run after every major promotion to confirm cancellations did not spike.
