What is shopify-catalog-cleanup?

A Shopify catalog cleanup tool for changing products and related catalog data after an audit finds problems.

Use it to archive dead or out-of-stock products, remove leftover metafields from uninstalled apps, hide ghost review stars, and clean product content.

It removes catalog debris such as discontinued products, empty review ratings, unused app fields, and unwanted HTML. It previews item counts before making changes.

SkillSpector: 4 findings, up to high

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

Fix: Remove references to credential paths. Use environment variables or secrets managers. For docs, use placeholder paths (e.g., /path/to/config). Never load .env or token files in production code paths.

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	$0.00151	$0.02468
Opus 5	$0.00076	$0.01234
Sonnet 5	$0.00030	$0.00494
Haiku 4.5	$0.00015	$0.00247

Security

Grade A, and why

shopify-catalog-cleanup 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 13d 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.

Shopify Catalog Cleanup

Fixing the debris an audit found. This is the mutating counterpart to shopify-catalog-audit (which finds problems) and shopify-seo-metadata (which fills missing metadata). Everything here writes to the catalog, so the whole skill is built around one rule: preview the count, then mutate.

Store access

Lane A: custom-app token (scriptable). In Shopify admin: Settings → Apps and sales channels → Develop apps → create an app → grant read_products and write_products, install, copy the Admin API access token. Export it; never write it to a committed file:

export SHOPIFY_STORE="your-store.myshopify.com"
export SHOPIFY_ACCESS_TOKEN="<your Admin API access token>"   # env, not disk

curl -s "https://$SHOPIFY_STORE/admin/api/2025-07/graphql.json" \
  -H "X-Shopify-Access-Token: $SHOPIFY_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query":"{ shop { name } }"}'

Lane B: Shopify CLI OAuth (no stored token). shopify store auth --store $SHOPIFY_STORE --scopes read_products,write_products then shopify store execute. Good for token-less stores where the owner logs in interactively.

Toolkit preflight. Lane B rides on the Shopify CLI: run shopify version first and install it if missing. For the full Admin GraphQL schema and validated execution, pair this skill with Shopify's official AI toolkit plugin. In Claude Code, check claude plugin list; if it isn't there:

claude plugin marketplace add Shopify/Shopify-AI-Toolkit
claude plugin install shopify-plugin@shopify-ai-toolkit

Recommended, not required: Lane A needs only curl and a token. The toolkit gives your agent the API; this skill gives it the playbook.

The one rule: preview count, then mutate

Every recipe in references/recipes.md pairs a read-only count/preview query with the mutation it feeds. The discipline is not optional:

Run the count first. products(query:"…") with a filter returns count and a page of titles. Read them.
Sanity-check the number against expectation. If you expected ~40 dead products and the count says 900, stop and re-scope: your filter is wrong, not the store. A count far above expectation is a bug in your query.
Only then mutate, and prefer the reversible path (below).
