Shopify Hello World

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Starting a new Shopify integration
• Testing your setup
• Learning basic Shopify API patterns
• With phrases like shopify hello world

Example prompts

• “shopify hello world”
• “shopify example”
• “shopify quick start”
• “/shopify-hello-world”

Requirements

• Node.js
• A credential in SHOPIFY_ACCESS_TOKEN
• A credential in SHOPIFY_API_KEY
• Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code
• Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Bash(npm:*), Bash(npx:*), Bash(node:*)

Workflow steps

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

1. 1Create Project
2. 2Configure Environment
3. 3Write the Hello World Script
4. 4Run It

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:*)
  • Bash(npx:*)
  • Bash(node:*)

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

  • npm
  • npx
  • node

  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 these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

  • SHOPIFY_ACCESS_TOKEN
  • SHOPIFY_API_KEY
  • SHOPIFY_API_SECRET

  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 Hello World loads about 884 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 86 tokens; SKILL.md has 223 words of instructions outside code blocks.

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

~86

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~884

With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them

~1.7k

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

• NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:50

  # .env

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.
