What it does

Shopify Admin Vip Customer Identifier is an agent skill from 40RTY-ai/shopify-admin-skills. Identifies top-spending customers (top N% by lifetime value or order frequency) and exports a VIP candidate list; optionally tags qualified customers as VIPs.

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 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

  • “Use the shopify-admin-vip-customer-identifier skill to identify top-spending customers (top N% by lifetime value or order frequency) and exports a…”
  • “/shopify-admin-vip-customer-identifier”

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: customers — query
  2. OPERATION: orders — query (only when ranking by frequency, for recency annotation)
  3. Filter to amountSpent.amount >= min_spend. Score each customer: spend → spend; frequency → orders; both → 0.6 × normalized spend + 0.4 ×…
  4. OPERATION: customerUpdate — mutation (only if tag_customers: true and dry_run: false)

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 Vip Customer Identifier loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 49 tokens; SKILL.md has 540 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~49
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

Ranks customers by lifetime spend and order frequency, identifies the top N% (by value, frequency, or both), and outputs a CSV of VIP candidates. Optionally applies a VIP tag to qualified customers via customerUpdate. Used to build loyalty segments, prioritize white-glove support, or seed exclusive-access campaigns. The lifetime spend and order count are pulled directly from Shopify customer aggregates — no external CRM required.

Prerequisites

  • Authenticated Shopify CLI session: shopify store auth --store <domain> --scopes read_customers,read_orders,write_customers
  • API scopes: read_customers, read_orders, write_customers (only if tag_customers: true)

Parameters

ParameterTypeRequiredDefaultDescription
storestringyes—Store domain (e.g., mystore.myshopify.com)
formatstringnohumanOutput format: human or json
dry_runboolnotruePreview VIP list without applying tags
rank_bystringnospendRanking strategy: spend (lifetime value), frequency (order count), or both (composite score)
top_pctfloatno5Top percentile to qualify as VIP (e.g., 5 = top 5%)
min_ordersintegerno2Minimum lifetime orders to be eligible
min_spendfloatno0Minimum lifetime spend (shop currency) to be eligible
tag_customersboolnofalseIf true, apply VIP tag to qualified customers via customerUpdate
tagstringnovipTag string applied when tag_customers: true

Safety

⚠️ When tag_customers: true, Step 3 executes customerUpdate mutations that mutate customer tag lists. Tags persist until manually removed. Run with dry_run: true first to confirm the VIP list and qualifying thresholds. The default is dry_run: true — you must explicitly set dry_run: false and tag_customers: true to apply tags.

Workflow Steps

  1. OPERATION: customers — query Inputs: first: 250, query: "orders_count:>=<min_orders>", select id, displayName, defaultEmailAddress { emailAddress }, numberOfOrders, amountSpent { amount currencyCode }, tags, pagination cursor Expected output: All customers meeting min_orders threshold; paginate until hasNextPage: false

  2. OPERATION: orders — query (only when ranking by frequency, for recency annotation) Inputs: For each top candidate: query: "customer_id:<id>", first: 1, sortKey: CREATED_AT, reverse: true Expected output: Most recent order per candidate to annotate the export

  3. Filter to amountSpent.amount >= min_spend. Score each customer: spend → spend; frequency → orders; both → 0.6 × normalized spend + 0.4 × normalized frequency. Take the top top_pct%.

  4. OPERATION: customerUpdate — mutation (only if tag_customers: true and dry_run: false) Inputs: input: { id: <customer_id>, tags: [...existing_tags, <tag>] } Expected output: customer.id, customer.tags, userErrors

Session Tracking

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

On start, emit:

╔══════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║  SKILL: VIP Customer Identifier              ║
║  Store: <store domain>                       ║
║  Started: <YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM UTC>             ║

After each step, emit:

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

If dry_run: true, prefix every mutation step with [DRY RUN] and do not execute it.

On completion, emit:

For format: human (default):

Best Practices

  • Use rank_by: both to balance whales with loyalists — pure spend ranking can over-index on one-time large purchases.
  • Re-run quarterly with a date-stamped tag (e.g., vip-2026-Q2) so lapsed VIPs roll off rather than accumulating permanently.
  • Pair with customer-win-back — VIPs who become inactive should be flagged for high-priority re-engagement.
  • Run with dry_run: true first; review the threshold spend value to confirm the cutoff matches your VIP definition.
