  • Tasks that involve Test data and fixtures
  • SKILL.md covers The core model: you consume…, How to extend, by layer, Where things live and Resources — in this order, plus 1 more section
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Shopsys Architecture is an agent skill from shopsys/shopsys. How this Shopsys project is structured and the correct way to extend it — read it before implementing when you need to know WHERE code lives and HOW to extend functionality (model/entity, backend, Frontend API, administration, storefront) without editing the framework. Covers Entity Extension, service and vendor overrides, the Data/Factory/Facade pattern, where things live, and which docs to read. Reach for it on "how do I do X in Shopsys" and when extending an entity, API, admin, or form.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Testing & QA, covering Test data and fixtures. The repository describes itself as: Main repository for maintaining Shopsys Platform packages. Open for ISSUES and PULL REQUESTS.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Test data and fixtures

Example prompts

  • “how do I do X in Shopsys”
  • “/shopsys-architecture”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Entity Extension (model layer)
  2. Service / class overrides (everything else)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0514b92. 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 yaml).

    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):

    • docs.shopsys.com

    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

Shopsys Architecture loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 129 tokens; SKILL.md has 662 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~129
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k

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 662 words (~1,632 tokens).

“This skill orients you so you don't flounder while implementing. It doesn't implement for you and doesn't copy the documentation — it points you to the right place and the right mechanism.”
