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-liquid-app-dev 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 6d 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.

Shopify Liquid Theme & App Extension Development

Overview

This skill provides guidelines and patterns for building scalable Shopify themes using Liquid and developing full-stack Shopify Apps with Theme App Extensions, Admin GraphQL APIs, and secure Webhook Subscribers.


1. Shopify Architecture Principles

  1. Theme App Extensions over Direct Code Injection: Never modify a merchant's theme.liquid directly via script tags. Use Theme App Extensions (app-block and app-embed-block) to ensure zero left-over code upon app uninstallation.
  2. GraphQL Admin API over REST: Prefer the GraphQL Admin API for all backend store mutations and data queries to optimize payloads and enforce strict schema typing.
  3. Liquid Performance Optimization: Avoid nested loops over large collections ({% for product in collections.all.products %}). Cache expensive Liquid calculations with {% cache %} blocks where available.
  4. Mandatory HMAC Webhook Verification: Verify X-Shopify-Hmac-SHA256 signatures on all incoming webhooks before processing store events (orders/create, products/update).
  5. Session Token Auth (App Bridge): Utilize Shopify App Bridge with JWT session tokens for seamless, iframe-embedded app administration without third-party cookie dependencies.
