What it does

Shopify API is an agent skill from Microck/ordinary-claude-skills. Complete API integration guide for Shopify including GraphQL Admin API, REST Admin API, Storefront API, Ajax API, OAuth authentication, rate limiting, and webhooks. Use when making API calls to Shopify, authenticating apps, fetching product/order/customer data programmatically, implementing cart operations, handling webhooks, or working with API version 2025-10. Requires fetch or axios for JavaScript implementations.

Its SKILL.md is about 4.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `metadata.json`).

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Rate limiting, GraphQL and Webhooks. It works with Shopify, GraphQL and JavaScript. The repository describes itself as: An unappealing collection of Claude Skills and resources.

When your agent uses it

  • Making API calls to Shopify
  • Authenticating apps
  • Fetching product/order/customer data programmatically
  • Implementing cart operations

Example prompts

  • “/shopify-api”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

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

  1. GraphQL Admin API
  2. REST Admin API
  3. OAuth 2.0 Authentication
  4. Rate Limiting
  5. Storefront API
  6. Ajax API (Theme-Only)
  7. Webhooks

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1056d29. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are javascript, graphql and json).

    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 these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • SHOPIFY_WEBHOOK_SECRET

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

Context cost

Shopify API loads about 4.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 108 tokens; SKILL.md has 414 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~108
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~4.3k

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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 414 words (~4,350 tokens).

“Expert guidance for all Shopify APIs including GraphQL Admin API, REST Admin API, Storefront API, Ajax API, authentication, and webhooks.”
