What it does

Shopify Admin Tax Liability Summary is an agent skill from 40RTY-ai/shopify-admin-skills. Read-only: aggregates tax collected by jurisdiction from order tax lines for filing prep.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k 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 Business, Finance & HR, covering Tax preparation. 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 Tax preparation

Example prompts

  • “/shopify-admin-tax-liability-summary”

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. If exclude_refunded: subtract tax amounts from fully refunded orders
  3. Group by group_by (jurisdiction title or rate); sum taxLine.priceSet.shopMoney.amount

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 Tax Liability Summary loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 31 tokens; SKILL.md has 363 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~31
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

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.

Best Practices

  • This report reflects tax collected from customers — it is not a substitute for Shopify Tax or a professional nexus analysis.
  • Align days_back with your filing period (30 days for monthly filers, 90 for quarterly).
  • For multi-state US merchants, check that Shopify Tax is configured correctly for each nexus state before relying on this output.
  • The jurisdiction field in taxLines.title is set by Shopify Tax and typically includes state/province names — verify the format matches your filing system.
