What it does

Shopify Core Workflow A is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Manage Shopify products, variants, and collections using the GraphQL Admin API. Use when creating, updating, or querying products, managing inventory, or building product catalog integrations. Trigger with phrases like "shopify products", "create shopify product", "shopify variants", "shopify collections", "shopify inventory".

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including reference files (for example `references/bulk-create-variants.md`, `references/product-create-mutation.md` and `references/product-update-mutation.md`). Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering GraphQL. It works with Shopify and GraphQL. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Querying products
  • Managing inventory
  • Building product catalog integrations
  • With phrases like shopify products

Example prompts

  • “shopify products”
  • “create shopify product”
  • “shopify variants”
  • “/shopify-core-workflow-a”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Bash(npm:*), Grep

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Create a Product
  2. Update a Product
  3. Query Products with Filtering
  4. Manage Variants and Pricing
  5. Manage Collections

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Write
    • Edit
    • Bash(npm:*)
    • Grep

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are typescript).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • shopify.dev

    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

    Designed for Claude Code

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Shopify Core Workflow A loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 88 tokens; SKILL.md has 323 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~88
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.5k

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.

Shopify Products & Catalog Management

Overview

Primary workflow for Shopify: manage products, variants, collections, and inventory using the GraphQL Admin API. Covers CRUD operations with real API mutations and response shapes.

Prerequisites

  • Completed shopify-install-auth setup
  • Access scopes: read_products, write_products, read_inventory, write_inventory
  • API version 2024-10 or later (ProductInput was split in this version)

Instructions

Step 1: Create a Product

Use productCreate with ProductCreateInput (as of 2024-10, this replaced the old unified ProductInput). Always check userErrors -- Shopify returns 200 even on validation failures.

See Product Create Mutation for the complete mutation, variables, and error handling.

Step 2: Update a Product

Use productUpdate with ProductUpdateInput (separate from create as of 2024-10). Supports metafield updates inline.

See Product Update Mutation for the complete mutation and variables.

Step 3: Query Products with Filtering

Search products using Shopify's query syntax (status:active, product_type:Apparel AND vendor:'My Brand', tag:sale, etc.) with cursor-based pagination.

See Search Products Query for the complete query with pagination and query syntax examples.

Step 4: Manage Variants and Pricing

Create variants in bulk with productVariantsBulkCreate, including pricing, SKU, barcode, option values, and inventory quantities per location.

See Bulk Create Variants for the complete mutation and variables.

Step 5: Manage Collections

Create smart (automated) collections with rule-based product matching using tag, product type, and other column filters.

See Smart Collection Create for the complete mutation and variables.

Output

  • Product created with variants and options
  • Products queryable with search filters
  • Variant pricing and inventory configured
  • Smart collections auto-organizing products

Error Handling

ErrorCauseSolution
userErrors: [{code: "TAKEN", field: ["handle"]}]Duplicate product handleUse a unique handle or let Shopify auto-generate
userErrors: [{code: "BLANK", field: ["title"]}]Empty required fieldProvide non-empty title
userErrors: [{code: "INVALID"}]Invalid metafield typeCheck type matches Shopify's metafield types
Access denied on productCreateMissing write_products scopeRequest scope in app config
Product not foundWrong GID formatMust be gid://shopify/Product/1234567890 (numeric ID)

Examples

ProductSet Mutation (Upsert)
typescript
// productSet creates OR updates — idempotent by handle
const PRODUCT_SET = `
  mutation productSet($input: ProductSetInput!) {
    productSet(input: $input) {
      product { id title }
      userErrors { field message code }
    }
  }
`;

await client.request(PRODUCT_SET, {
  variables: {
    input: {
      title: "Organic Coffee Beans",
      handle: "organic-coffee-beans", // unique identifier
      productType: "Coffee",
      vendor: "Bean Co",
    },
  },
});
