What it does

Shopify Admin Promo Code Bulk Generator is an agent skill from 40RTY-ai/shopify-admin-skills. Bulk-creates a batch of unique discount codes for campaigns, giveaways, or partner distributions — each code is its own DiscountCodeBasic with single-use limit by default.

Its SKILL.md is about 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 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-promo-code-bulk-generator”

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. Generate count unique random suffixes (6 alphanumeric uppercase characters per suffix). Concatenate as -. Validate no in-memory duplicates…
  2. OPERATION: discountCodeBasicCreate — mutation (one call per code)

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 Promo Code Bulk Generator loads about 2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 53 tokens; SKILL.md has 620 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~53
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~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.

Purpose

Generates N unique discount codes (e.g., 100 codes for an influencer giveaway, 500 for a partner distribution drop) with a shared prefix and configurable value, usage limit, and validity window. Each code is created as a standalone DiscountCodeBasic discount node so it can be tracked independently in Shopify Admin and revoked individually if leaked. Typical use: handing each code to a different recipient where each redemption must be tied to one person.

Prerequisites

  • Authenticated Shopify CLI session: shopify store auth --store <domain> --scopes write_discounts
  • API scopes: read_discounts, write_discounts

Parameters

ParameterTypeRequiredDefaultDescription
storestringyes—Store domain (e.g., mystore.myshopify.com)
formatstringnohumanOutput format: human or json
dry_runboolnotruePreview the codes that would be created without executing mutations
prefixstringyes—Prefix for every generated code (e.g., GIVEAWAY produces GIVEAWAY-A4F2X9)
countintegeryes—Number of unique codes to generate (max 1000 per run)
value_typestringyes—Discount type: percentage, fixed_amount, or free_shipping
valuefloatconditional—Numeric value: percent off (1–100) for percentage; currency amount for fixed_amount; ignored for free_shipping
usage_limitintegerno1How many times each individual code can be redeemed
starts_atstringnonowISO8601 datetime when codes become valid
ends_atstringno—ISO8601 datetime when codes expire (omit for no expiry)
applies_tostringnoorderCode applies to: order (entire order) or shipping_only (with free_shipping value type)

Safety

⚠️ Step 1 executes one discountCodeBasicCreate mutation per generated code. Once created, codes appear immediately in Shopify Admin and become redeemable at starts_at. Codes cannot be deleted in bulk via the Admin API — they must be removed individually with discountCodeDelete. Run with dry_run: true to confirm the count, prefix, and value before committing. The default is dry_run: true. For high counts (>100), confirm usage_limit matches intent — a single high-limit code is usually preferable to N single-use codes if uniqueness per recipient is not required.

Workflow Steps

  1. Generate count unique random suffixes (6 alphanumeric uppercase characters per suffix). Concatenate as <prefix>-<suffix>. Validate no in-memory duplicates and no length > 32.

  2. OPERATION: discountCodeBasicCreate — mutation (one call per code) Inputs: basicCodeDiscount.title: "<prefix> bulk generation <date>", basicCodeDiscount.code: <generated_code>, basicCodeDiscount.startsAt: <starts_at>, basicCodeDiscount.endsAt: <ends_at>, basicCodeDiscount.usageLimit: <usage_limit>, basicCodeDiscount.appliesOncePerCustomer: true, basicCodeDiscount.customerGets.value: percent / fixed-amount / free-shipping union per value_type, basicCodeDiscount.customerGets.items.all: true, basicCodeDiscount.customerSelection.all: true Expected output: codeDiscountNode.id, codeDiscountNode.codeDiscount.codes.edges[0].node.code, userErrors

Best Practices

  • Use usage_limit: 1 for influencer-style giveaways where each recipient gets a private code; use usage_limit: N only when codes are distributed publicly with a hard cap.
  • Pick a meaningful prefix (e.g., INFLUENCER-Q2, GIVEAWAY-LAUNCH) so codes are easy to filter in Shopify Admin and in revenue reports.
  • Always set ends_at — open-ended codes lead to long-tail discount cost and complicate ROI analysis.
  • Run dry_run: true first and inspect the generated suffixes; codes are not deletable in bulk if a mistake is made.
  • For free_shipping, set applies_to: shipping_only and leave value unset; Shopify ignores numeric value for free-shipping discounts.
  • Pair with discount-roi-calculator after the campaign to measure ROI per code prefix.
