What it does

Liquid Theme Standards is an agent skill from benjaminsehl/liquid-skills. CSS, JavaScript, and HTML coding standards for Shopify Liquid themes. Covers BEM naming inside stylesheet tags, design tokens, CSS custom properties, Web Components for themes, defensive CSS, and progressive enhancement. Use when writing CSS/JS/HTML in .liquid files or theme asset files.

Its SKILL.md is about 3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/css-patterns.md` and `references/javascript-patterns.md`).

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering Design tokens, CSS and styling and Code quality. It works with JavaScript and Shopify.

When your agent uses it

  • Writing CSS/JS/HTML in .liquid files
  • Theme asset files

Example prompts

  • “/liquid-theme-standards”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Progressive enhancement — semantic HTML first, CSS second, JS third
  2. No external dependencies — native browser APIs only for JavaScript
  3. Design tokens — never hardcode colors, spacing, or fonts
  4. BEM naming — consistent class naming throughout
  5. Defensive CSS — handle edge cases gracefully

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 483f969. 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:

    • jq

    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.

Context cost

Liquid Theme Standards loads about 3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 78 tokens; SKILL.md has 544 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~78
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~5.8k

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 544 words (~3,024 tokens).

“Critical: {% stylesheet %} does NOT process Liquid. Use inline style attributes for dynamic values:”
