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

shopify-admin-agentic-image-alt-text 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 11d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 167 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Purpose

An AI shopping agent reads image alt text to understand a product's appearance — color, material, style, use. Blank or filename-style alt text ("IMG_2931.jpg") tells the agent nothing, so it can't match the product to a visual query ("red linen midi dress") or describe it to a shopper. This skill finds product images with missing or low-value alt text and writes concise, descriptive alt text derived from the product's title, options, type, and tags. Fixes the agentiq.report finding listing-image-alt-text.

Prerequisites

  • Authenticated Shopify CLI session (shopify auth login --store <domain>)
  • Required API scopes: read_products, write_products, write_files

Parameters

All skills accept these universal parameters:

Parameter Type Required Default Description
store string yes Store domain (e.g., mystore.myshopify.com)
format string no human Output format: human (default) or json
dry_run bool no false Preview mutations without executing

Skill-specific parameters:

Parameter Type Required Default Description
collection_id string no Limit to a collection GID
tag string no Limit to a product tag
overwrite bool no false If true, also rewrite filename-style / placeholder alt text; if false, only fill blanks
max_chars int no 125 Alt-text length cap (accessibility + agent-readability)

Safety

⚠️ Step 3 (fileUpdate) writes alt text to live media. With overwrite: true it replaces existing alt text, which is not bulk-reversible. Run dry_run: true first and review the proposed alt text per image. Default (overwrite: false) only fills blanks and is low-risk.

Workflow Steps

  1. OPERATION: products — query Inputs: first: 250, optional collection/tag filter; fields title, productType, tags, options, media{ MediaImage{ id image{ altText } } }; paginate until done. Expected output: Product media with current alt text + the product context needed to generate good alt text.

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.
