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

catalog-import-export 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 12d 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.

Catalog Import / Export

Overview

Bulk importing and exporting products is a core catalog management task — whether you're onboarding a new store from a supplier spreadsheet, doing mass price updates, or feeding products to Google Merchant Center. Every major platform has native import/export tools that handle this without custom code. Use them first; only build a custom pipeline if your volume, format, or validation requirements exceed what the platform offers.

When to Use This Skill

  • When onboarding a new merchant whose catalog lives in a spreadsheet or ERP system
  • When syncing product data from a supplier or PIM on a scheduled basis
  • When merchants need to do mass price or inventory updates without coding
  • When building a product feed export for Google Merchant Center, Amazon, or comparison shopping engines

Core Instructions

Step 1: Determine the platform and choose the right import tool

Platform Recommended Tool Why
Shopify Matrixify (Bulk Product Import Export) Handles complex catalogs with metafields, variants, multiple images, and collections; supports scheduled sync and error reports
Shopify (simple) Shopify's built-in CSV import Free, sufficient for basic catalogs under a few hundred products with standard fields only
WooCommerce WP All Import Pro Most powerful WooCommerce import tool; supports CSV/XML, field mapping, scheduled imports, and conditional logic
WooCommerce (built-in) WooCommerce Product CSV Importer Ships with WooCommerce; handles products, variations, and images for simple use cases
BigCommerce Built-in bulk import / Feedonomics BigCommerce's native import handles most needs; Feedonomics for multi-channel feed management
Custom / Headless Build a custom pipeline Only if your platform has no native tools or your validation/transformation requirements are too complex
