A guided setup command for starting a small Shopify app project from an idea or an existing repository. Shopify is an e-commerce platform where apps can add tools for merchants.

In plain words
What is it for?
Choosing an initial app milestone, inspecting an existing project, setting up Shopify connections, and tracking completed, next, blocked, and untested work.
Why use it?
It keeps an unfamiliar app project focused on one merchant problem and makes the current status clear instead of claiming that a plan is already a working app.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

start-shopify-app scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 14d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Skills: using-shopify-app-builder, shopify-project-copilot, app-framework

Read the named skills from this plugin before following the workflow. Use only the relevant ones; commands guide work rather than grant permissions.

  1. Inspect available project context first. Clarify only the merchant task or next dependent decision that is genuinely missing.
  2. Recommend one small MVP and the next milestone; don't assume all integrations/extensions are needed.
  3. Preserve an existing stack. Use shopify-connections only when the next live operation needs it; don't block local implementation on account setup or optional market validation.
  4. Maintain Done / Next / Blocked / Not tested; explain one small action and success signal at a time.
  5. Offer local context for an ongoing project, explain what is saved, and preserve unknowns. Choose one next milestone and a concise cross-session handoff; no tracking or mandatory schedule.

Beginner-friendly delivery

Explain unfamiliar terms once, recommend one next action and state the expected result before executing. Preserve unrelated work. Never read credential caches or print secrets. Paid runs, store writes, scope/access expansion, charges, deployment and submission require explicit task-specific authorization.

Completion evidence

For a planning request: an agreed merchant problem and concrete next step. For a build request: implement the first merchant feature with affected tests, authenticated shop isolation and loading/empty/error states as relevant. See the router's first-merchant-value reference. A plan or record alone is not a built app; leave live checks explicitly unverified when unavailable. Show actual results, the remaining blocker and the next step; do not print anticipated success checkmarks. If the host cannot register commands, invoke the listed skills in ordinary language instead.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
