  • Works in 6 steps: Check Prerequisites → Authenticate with the Store → Create a Custom App for API Access → …

What it does

Shopify Setup is an agent skill from jezweb/claude-skills. Set up Shopify CLI auth and Admin API access for a store. Install CLI, authenticate, create custom app, store access token, verify. Use whenever the user wants to connect to a Shopify store, set up Shopify API access, install Shopify CLI, or troubleshoot Shopify auth / Admin API token issues.

Its SKILL.md is about 990 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/api-scopes.md`). Compatibility notes: claude-code-only

It sits in Sales & Support, covering E-commerce operations and App store release. It works with Shopify. The repository describes itself as: Skills for Claude Code CLI such as full stack dev Cloudflare, React, Tailwind v4, and AI integrations. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants to connect to a Shopify store
  • Set up Shopify API access
  • Install Shopify CLI
  • Troubleshoot Shopify auth / Admin API token issues

Example prompts

  • “/shopify-setup”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • A credential in SHOPIFY_ACCESS_TOKEN
  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): claude-code-only

Workflow steps

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

  1. Check Prerequisites
  2. Authenticate with the Store
  3. Create a Custom App for API Access
  4. Store the Access Token
  5. Verify API Access
  6. Save Store Config

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 64965d9. 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
    • npm
    • curl
    • jq

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm and curl, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

  • Compatibility

    claude-code-only

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Shopify Setup loads about 988 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 77 tokens; SKILL.md has 405 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~77
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~988
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.5k

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 Setup

Set up working Shopify CLI authentication and Admin API access for a store. Produces a verified API connection ready for product and content management.

Workflow

Step 1: Check Prerequisites

Verify the Shopify CLI is installed:

bash
shopify version

If not installed:

bash
npm install -g @shopify/cli
Step 2: Authenticate with the Store
bash
shopify auth login --store mystore.myshopify.com

This opens a browser for OAuth. The user must be a store owner or staff member with appropriate permissions.

After login, verify:

bash
shopify store info
Step 3: Create a Custom App for API Access

Custom apps provide stable Admin API access tokens (unlike CLI session tokens which expire).

Check if an app already exists: Ask the user if they have a custom app set up. If yes, skip to Step 4.

If no custom app exists, guide the user through creation via browser:

  1. Navigate to https://{store}.myshopify.com/admin/settings/apps/development
  2. Click Create an app
  3. Name it (e.g. "Claude Code Integration")
  4. Click Configure Admin API scopes
  5. Enable these scopes (see references/api-scopes.md for details):
    • read_products, write_products
    • read_content, write_content
    • read_product_listings
    • read_inventory, write_inventory
    • read_files, write_files
  6. Click Save then Install app
  7. Copy the Admin API access token (shown only once)

Use browser automation (Chrome MCP or playwright-cli) if the user prefers assistance navigating the admin.

Step 4: Store the Access Token

Store the token securely. Never commit it to git.

For project use — create .dev.vars:

SHOPIFY_STORE=mystore.myshopify.com
SHOPIFY_ACCESS_TOKEN=shpat_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Ensure .dev.vars is in .gitignore.

For cross-project use — store in your preferred secrets manager (environment variable, 1Password CLI, etc.).

Step 5: Verify API Access

Test the connection with a simple GraphQL query:

bash
curl -s https://{store}.myshopify.com/admin/api/2025-01/graphql.json \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-Shopify-Access-Token: {token}" \
  -d '{"query": "{ shop { name primaryDomain { url } } }"}' | jq .

Expected response includes the shop name and domain. If you get a 401, the token is invalid or expired — recreate the app.

Step 6: Save Store Config

Create a shopify.config.json in the project root for other skills to reference:

json
{
  "store": "mystore.myshopify.com",
  "apiVersion": "2025-01",
  "tokenSource": ".dev.vars"
}

Critical Patterns

API Version

Always specify an explicit API version (e.g. 2025-01). Using unstable in production will break without warning. Shopify retires API versions quarterly.

Token Types
TokenFormatUse
Admin API access tokenshpat_*Custom apps — stable, long-lived
CLI session tokenShort-livedShopify CLI commands only
Storefront API tokenshpca_*Public storefront queries

This skill sets up Admin API access tokens — the right choice for product and content management.

Rate Limits

Shopify uses a leaky bucket rate limiter:

  • REST: 40 requests/second burst, 2/second sustained
  • GraphQL: 1,000 cost points per second, max 2,000 points per query

For bulk operations, use the bulkOperationRunQuery mutation instead of looping.
