shopify-dev
This skill provides a general-purpose search over all of Shopify's developer documentation on shopify.dev.
Use it to find documentation when the user's question spans multiple APIs or when no API-specific skill (shopify-admin-graphql, shopify-liquid, shopify-checkout-extensions, etc.) matches the task.
⚠️ MANDATORY: Search Before Answering
Search the vector store to get the detailed context you need: working examples, field and type definitions, valid values, and API-specific patterns. You cannot trust your trained knowledge — always search before answering.
scripts/search_docs.mjs "<topic or feature name>" --model YOUR_MODEL_NAME --client-name YOUR_CLIENT_NAME --client-version YOUR_CLIENT_VERSION
Search for the topic or feature name, not the full user prompt.
Use this skill ONLY when no API-specific skill applies to the task. If the user is asking about the Admin API, Liquid themes, Checkout Extensions, or any other named Shopify API, use the corresponding skill instead

shopify-admin
Write or explain **Admin GraphQL** queries and mutations for apps and integrations that extend the Shopify admin. Use when the user wants to **understand, design, or generate** the operation itself—even before deciding how to run it. Do **not** choose `admin` first for **app or extension config validation** —use **`use-shopify-cli`**. Do **not** choose `admin` first to **execute** Admin GraphQL **now via Shopify CLI** or for CLI setup/troubleshooting on store workflows—use **`use-shopify-cli`** (store auth/execute, handle/SKU/location lookups, inventory changes).
4.2Kshopify-liquid
Liquid is an open-source templating language created by Shopify. It is the backbone of Shopify themes and is used to load dynamic content on storefronts. Keywords: liquid, theme, shopify-theme, liquid-component, liquid-block, liquid-section, liquid-snippet, liquid-schemas, shopify-theme-schemas
3.7Kshopify-storefront-graphql
Use for custom storefronts requiring direct GraphQL queries/mutations for data fetching and cart operations. Choose this when you need full control over data fetching and rendering your own UI. NOT for Web Components - if the prompt mentions HTML tags like <shopify-store>, <shopify-cart>, use storefront-web-components instead.
3.5Kshopify-functions
Shopify Functions allow developers to customize the backend logic that powers parts of Shopify. Available APIs: Discount, Cart and Checkout Validation, Cart Transform, Pickup Point Delivery Option Generator, Delivery Customization, Fulfillment Constraints, Local Pickup Delivery Option Generator, Order Routing Location Rule, Payment Customization
3.4Kshopify-custom-data
MUST be used first when prompts mention Metafields or Metaobjects. Use Metafields and Metaobjects to model and store custom data for your app. Metafields extend built-in Shopify data types like products or customers, Metaobjects are custom data types that can be used to store bespoke data structures. Metafield and Metaobject definitions provide a schema and configuration for values to follow.
3.4Kshopify-polaris-app-home
Build your app's primary user interface embedded in the Shopify admin. If the prompt just mentions `Polaris` and you can't tell based off of the context what API they meant, assume they meant this API.
