What is shopify-liquid-kona-standards?

A set of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript rules for the Kona Shopify theme. It explains how to use Tailwind CSS, the Vite build process, design tokens, browser components, and JavaScript that loads only when needed.

Writing or reviewing Liquid templates, theme styles, JavaScript, responsive behavior, interactive components, and accessible frontend code.

It gives developers consistent rules for changing the theme and helps avoid unnecessary JavaScript or duplicated design values. It also defines where different kinds of styles belong.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00077	$0.04167
Opus 5.5	$0.00031	$0.01667
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00015	$0.00833
Haiku 4.5	$0.00008	$0.00417

Measured 2mo ago against content hash 8c10bdea1c2b, method: parsed. Prices are Anthropic first-party input rates as of 2026-10-07, from the pricing page.

Security

Grade A, and why

shopify-liquid-kona-standards scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 2mo 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.

CSS, JS & HTML Standards

Core Principles

Progressive enhancement — semantic HTML first, CSS second, JS third
Tailwind utility-first — use utility classes directly in markup; extract to @apply only when reused
Island hydration — zero JS by default; interactive components hydrate on demand
Design tokens — all values flow through Tailwind's @theme block or CSS custom properties
No external JS dependencies — native browser APIs only

CSS Architecture

Where CSS Lives

Location	Purpose
`theme/frontend/styles/theme.css`	`@theme` block — design tokens (colors, spacing, fonts)
`theme/frontend/styles/base.css`	`@layer base` — element resets and global styles
`theme/frontend/styles/components.css`	`@layer components` — reusable component classes via `@apply`
`theme/frontend/styles/utilities.css`	`@layer utilities` — custom utility classes
`theme/frontend/entrypoints/theme.css`	Entry point — imports all layers (don't add styles here)
Inline `class=""` in Liquid	Primary styling method — Tailwind utility classes
`{% style %}` in Liquid	Dynamic CSS needing Liquid values (section settings)

No {% stylesheet %} tags — this theme uses Vite + Tailwind, not Shopify's built-in bundling.

Tailwind Utility-First Approach

{%- comment -%} Do: Tailwind utilities directly in markup {%- endcomment -%}
<div class="grid gap-4 md:grid-cols-3 lg:grid-cols-4">
  {% for product in collection.products %}
    <article class="group relative flex flex-col gap-2">

        alt="{{ product.featured_image.alt | escape }}"
        class="aspect-square w-full rounded object-cover"
        loading="lazy"
      >
      <h3 class="font-heading text-copy leading-copy text-primary">
        <a href="{{ product.url }}" class="after:absolute after:inset-0">

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
