What it does

Shopify Admin Referral Source Attribution is an agent skill from 40RTY-ai/shopify-admin-skills. Read-only: parses each order's landing site and referrer URL to break down orders, revenue, and AOV by traffic source — direct, organic, paid, social, email, or referral domain.

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 Marketing & SEO, covering Marketing analytics. 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

  • Tasks that involve Marketing analytics

Example prompts

  • “/shopify-admin-referral-source-attribution”

Requirements

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

Workflow steps

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

  1. OPERATION: orders — query
  2. For each order, derive a normalized source
  3. Aggregate by the chosen group_by dimension

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 Referral Source Attribution loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 55 tokens; SKILL.md has 522 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~55
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

Aggregates orders by their first-touch traffic source — extracted from each order's landingPageUrl, referrerUrl, and any UTM parameters embedded in the landing URL. Produces an attribution table showing orders, revenue, and AOV per source so merchants can see which channels are actually converting. Read-only — no mutations. Use when native Shopify analytics dashboards aren't granular enough or when you need to export raw attribution data for an external model.

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)
formatstringnohumanOutput format: human or json
days_backintegerno30Lookback window in days
min_ordersintegerno1Minimum orders per source to include in the human-readable summary
group_bystringnocategoryGrouping level: category (direct/organic/paid/social/email/referral), domain (raw referrer host), or utm_source (UTM param value)
include_utmboolnotrueWhen true, parse utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign from landingPageUrl query string

Safety

ℹ️ Read-only skill — no mutations are executed. Safe to run at any time.

Workflow Steps

  1. OPERATION: orders — query Inputs: query: "created_at:>='<NOW - days_back days>'", first: 250, select id, name, createdAt, landingPageUrl, referrerUrl, customerJourneySummary { firstVisit { landingPage referrerUrl source sourceType utmParameters { source medium campaign term content } } }, totalPriceSet, customer { numberOfOrders }, pagination cursor Expected output: Orders with their landing/referrer/UTM data; paginate until hasNextPage: false

  2. For each order, derive a normalized source:

    • If customerJourneySummary.firstVisit.utmParameters.source is set → use it (strongest signal)
    • Else parse UTM params from landingPageUrl query string when include_utm: true
    • Else extract host from referrerUrl and map to a category:
      • empty/null → direct
      • google.com / bing.com / duckduckgo.com → organic-search
      • googleads/doubleclick → paid-search
      • facebook.com / instagram.com / tiktok.com / x.com / twitter.com / pinterest.com / youtube.com → social-<host>
      • mail/gmail/outlook hosts → email
      • any other host → referral-<host>
  3. Aggregate by the chosen group_by dimension:

    • orders count
    • revenue = Σ totalPriceSet.shopMoney.amount
    • AOV = revenue / orders
    • new-customer % (orders where customer.numberOfOrders == 1 divided by total in source)

Best Practices

  • Use group_by: utm_source when running structured campaigns with consistent UTM tagging — this is the highest-fidelity attribution signal.
  • Use group_by: category for board-level summaries; merchants want "how much came from social" before "how much came from instagram.com/p/abc".
  • Cross-reference with discount-roi-calculator — combining "which source drives the order" with "which discount the order used" reveals where paid acquisition actually pays off.
  • Beware of "direct" inflation — many email-app and social-app clicks lose their referrer and surface as direct. Use UTM tagging on outbound links to recover that signal.
  • Run on a multi-month horizon (days_back: 90) for low-volume stores so percentage breakdowns aren't dominated by a handful of orders.
