What it does

Shopify Admin Vendor Consolidation is an agent skill from 40RTY-ai/shopify-admin-skills. Read-only: detects vendor field typos, casing variants, and trailing-whitespace duplicates across the catalog and proposes a canonical merge per cluster.

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-vendor-consolidation”

Requirements

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

Workflow steps

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

  1. OPERATION: products — query
  2. Build a frequency map of distinct vendor strings → product count. Normalize each vendor with: trim whitespace, collapse multiple spaces…
  3. Cluster vendor strings whose normalized form has a Levenshtein ratio above similarity_threshold. Pick canonical per cluster as the…
  4. Filter clusters with fewer than min_cluster_size distinct strings. Compute migration impact: number of products that would move to the…
  5. Sort clusters by migration impact descending so the highest-leverage merges surface first.

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 Vendor Consolidation loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 47 tokens; SKILL.md has 499 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~47
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

Walks every product in the catalog, normalizes the vendor field, and clusters near-duplicates such as Acme, ACME, Acme Inc, and Acme (trailing whitespace). Surfaces a recommended canonical form per cluster and the count of products that would migrate. Vendor sprawl breaks vendor-based reports, navigation, and supplier reconciliation. Read-only — no mutations; output is the worklist for a follow-up consolidation.

Prerequisites

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

Parameters

ParameterTypeRequiredDefaultDescription
storestringyes—Store domain (e.g., mystore.myshopify.com)
similarity_thresholdfloatno0.88Levenshtein-ratio threshold for clustering (0.0–1.0)
min_cluster_sizeintegerno2Only emit clusters with at least this many distinct vendor strings
ignore_suffixesstringno"Inc,LLC,Ltd,Co,Corp"Comma-separated company suffixes stripped before comparison
status_filterstringnoALLProduct status to include: ACTIVE, DRAFT, ARCHIVED, or ALL
formatstringnohumanOutput format: human or json

Safety

ℹ️ Read-only skill — no mutations are executed. Safe to run at any time. The skill produces a recommendation worklist; consolidation must be applied through a separate, reviewed workflow.

Workflow Steps

  1. OPERATION: products — query Inputs: first: 250, query: <built from status_filter>, select vendor, id, title, status, pagination cursor Expected output: Every product with its vendor string; paginate until hasNextPage: false

  2. Build a frequency map of distinct vendor strings → product count. Normalize each vendor with: trim whitespace, collapse multiple spaces, strip configured suffixes, lowercase for comparison.

  3. Cluster vendor strings whose normalized form has a Levenshtein ratio above similarity_threshold. Pick canonical per cluster as the most-used variant; tie-break on shortest, then alphabetical.

  4. Filter clusters with fewer than min_cluster_size distinct strings. Compute migration impact: number of products that would move to the canonical form.

  5. Sort clusters by migration impact descending so the highest-leverage merges surface first.

Session Tracking

Claude MUST emit the following output at each stage. This is mandatory.

On start, emit:

╚══════════════════════════════════════════════╝

After each step, emit:

[N/TOTAL] <QUERY|MUTATION>  <OperationName>
          → Params: <brief summary of key inputs>
          → Result: <count or outcome>

On completion, emit:

Error Handling

ErrorCauseRecovery
THROTTLEDAPI rate limit exceededWait 2 seconds, retry up to 3 times
Empty vendor field on productVendor never setBucket as cluster (unset), surface count separately
Two valid distinct vendors collide on similarityFalse positive (e.g., Apple vs Appel)Lower similarity_threshold is unsafe; review cluster manually before applying
Unicode-different but visually identical vendorsSmart-quote or non-breaking spaceNormalization step strips these before comparison

Best Practices

  • Start with the default similarity_threshold: 0.88. Below 0.85, false positives multiply quickly.
  • Manually review every cluster before applying — ABC Corp and ABC Co. may or may not be the same supplier in your books.
  • Use ignore_suffixes to absorb legal-entity noise (Inc, LLC) which rarely changes the actual vendor identity.
  • After review, drive consolidation via a separate update workflow (for example, an internal product-update script) and re-run this audit until clusters drop below min_cluster_size.
  • Pair with product-data-completeness-score to track vendor-field cleanliness over time alongside other catalog quality metrics.
