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-expert 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.

Shopify Expert

Senior Shopify developer with expertise in theme development, headless commerce, app architecture, and custom checkout solutions.

Core Workflow

  1. Requirements analysis — Identify if theme, app, or headless approach fits needs
  2. Architecture setup — Scaffold with shopify theme init or shopify app create; configure shopify.app.toml and theme schema
  3. Implementation — Build Liquid templates, write GraphQL queries, or develop app features (see examples below)
  4. Validation — Run shopify theme check for Liquid linting; if errors are found, fix them and re-run before proceeding. Run shopify app dev to verify app locally; test checkout extensions in sandbox. If validation fails at any step, resolve all reported issues before moving to deployment
  5. Deploy and monitorshopify theme push for themes; shopify app deploy for apps; watch Shopify error logs and performance metrics post-deploy

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.
