Get started building on Shopify. Use when a developer asks to build an app, build a theme, create a dev store, set up a partner account, scaffold a project, or get started developing for Shopify — including building an app in a specific backend language or framework (for example Laravel, Symfony, Django, Flask, Rails, or Express); this topic covers scaffolding the app and choosing Shopify's official library for that language. When the prompt also involves an extension surface (checkout, admin, POS, customer accounts), learn this topic in addition to the surface topic. NOT for merchants managing stores.

More from shopify/shopify-ai-toolkit
shopify-admin
shopify/shopify-ai-toolkit
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 monetization—charging merchants for the app itself via app pricing plans, paid app tiers, app subscription charges, or app free trials—use app-pricing unless the user is maintaining an existing Manual Pricing integration or explicitly needs an Admin Billing API operation. Merchant product subscriptions stay with admin (selling plans, subscription contracts, try-before-you-buy). 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 cha
shopify-storefront-graphql
shopify/shopify-ai-toolkit
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 , , use storefront-web-components instead.
shopify-liquid
shopify/shopify-ai-toolkit
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
shopify-dev
shopify/shopify-ai-toolkit
Search Shopify developer documentation across all APIs. Use only when no API-specific skill applies.
shopify-custom-data
shopify/shopify-ai-toolkit
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.
shopify-use-shopify-cli
shopify/shopify-ai-toolkit
Choose when the user needs Shopify CLI to run or fix something now: validate app or extension config on disk (shopify.app.toml, shopify.app. .toml, shopify.extension.toml); review or audit an app's code for security vulnerabilities; run or troubleshoot store workflows (shopify store auth, shopify store execute); or perform explicit store-scoped reads/writes on a named store domain (for example, show/list/find the first 10 products on my store at foo.myshopify.com, or inventory and product changes by handle, SKU, or location name). Emphasize commands and operational steps, not only authoring GraphQL. Skip for API-only understanding or codegen with no CLI execution, and skip for brand-new merchant asks to start a Shopify store or try Shopify before they have an account. Examples: validate configuration before deploy; run an existing query via CLI; show the first 10 products on foo.myshopify.com; missing shopify store execute.
