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

product-categorization 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.

Product Categorization

Overview

A well-structured product taxonomy makes products findable and drives SEO through category pages. Every platform handles categorization differently: Shopify uses Collections and tags, WooCommerce uses hierarchical Categories and tags, and BigCommerce uses Categories with subcategories. Understanding the platform's native model and configuring it correctly is more impactful than building a custom taxonomy system.

When to Use This Skill

  • When building a product catalog that needs a navigable category tree (clothing > women > dresses)
  • When migrating a flat product list into a structured taxonomy
  • When breadcrumb navigation is missing or generating wrong paths
  • When category pages need SEO-optimized URLs and meta tags
  • When ingesting large supplier catalogs that need automatic categorization

Core Instructions

Step 1: Understand how your platform handles categories

Platform Category Model URL Structure
Shopify Collections (flat or nested via themes); tags for additional filtering /collections/womens-dresses
WooCommerce Hierarchical categories (parent/child) + tags /product-category/clothing/womens/dresses/
BigCommerce Nested categories (unlimited depth) /clothing/womens/dresses/
Custom / Headless Build with materialized paths for efficient breadcrumb queries /c/clothing/women/dresses

Choose a depth strategy before building:

  • 2–3 levels is optimal for most stores (e.g., Clothing → Womens → Dresses)
  • 4 levels maximum — deeper hierarchies confuse shoppers and dilute SEO
  • Flat + tags works well for small catalogs (under 200 products)

Step 2: Platform-specific setup


Shopify

Shopify uses Collections as the primary categorization mechanism. Collections can be manual (hand-curated) or automated (rules-based).

Creating a collection hierarchy:

  1. Go to Admin → Products → Collections → Create collection
  2. For the "Women's Dresses" example:
    • Create a parent collection: "Clothing" (manual, for navigation menu)
    • Create a child collection: "Women's Dresses" (automated, rule: tag contains womens-dress)
  3. Set the collection's SEO fields: Title, Meta description, and URL handle
  4. Add a collection image and description — these improve SEO and conversion on the collection page
