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:
shopify version
If not installed:
npm install -g @shopify/cli
Step 2: Authenticate with the Store
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:
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:
- Navigate to
https://{store}.myshopify.com/admin/settings/apps/development - Click Create an app
- Name it (e.g. "Claude Code Integration")
- Click Configure Admin API scopes
- Enable these scopes (see
references/api-scopes.mdfor details):read_products,write_productsread_content,write_contentread_product_listingsread_inventory,write_inventoryread_files,write_files
- Click Save then Install app
- 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:
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:
{
"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
| Token | Format | Use |
|---|---|---|
| Admin API access token | shpat_* | Custom apps — stable, long-lived |
| CLI session token | Short-lived | Shopify CLI commands only |
| Storefront API token | shpca_* | 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.

Use whenever the user supplies a brand hex and asks for a palette, mentions setting up a design system, wants Tailwind theme colours from a brand colour, or asks to check colour accessibility / contrast.
tailwind-theme-builder

ux-audit
jezweb/claude-skills
Walk through a live web app AS a real user to find usability + behavioural bugs that static reviews miss. REQUIRES proof of interaction (typing, clicking, sending, observing) before any verdict — a sweep that didn't interact terminates with verdict 'Incomplete'. Walks threads, exercises every element, runs the multi-pane stress matrix, visual polish sweep, component perfection checklist, automated a11y (axe-core), pragmatic performance budget (LCP/CLS/INP), scenario battery (11 scenarios), and stress recipes including the real-flavour data battery. Hard gates: console errors/warnings = 0, network 5xx = 0, layout collapse = 0, axe Critical/Serious = 0, perf budget green. Audit-the-audit meta-check rejects rushed reports. Each finding has reproduction steps, evidence path, and suspected code location. Trigger with 'ux audit', 'walkthrough', 'qa sweep', 'audit the app', 'dogfood this', 'check all pages', 'find what's broken', 'stress the UI'.
tailwind-v4-shadcn
