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

built-for-shopify-standards 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 10d 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.

Built for Shopify Standards

The official quality bar for Shopify App Store apps. Qualifying apps receive the Built for Shopify highlight and badge, additional App Store promotion, eligibility for promotion on other merchant surfaces, and priority review for future app submissions. BFS does not create a separate revenue-share tier.

This skill is the full requirement matrix as of May 2026, with rejection patterns, a 50-item self-check, and a decision tree to tell you whether you're ready to apply.


1. When to use this skill

Trigger this skill when:

  • You're planning to submit an app for the Built for Shopify (BFS) designation
  • You got a "fails to meet Built for Shopify standards" rejection and want to fix it
  • You're scoping a v1 app and want to build to BFS from the start (cheaper than retrofitting)
  • A merchant or partner mentioned your app "isn't Built for Shopify yet"
  • You're doing a 90-day audit before reapplying after a previous BFS failure
  • You're deciding whether the promotional benefits justify the implementation and ongoing-compliance work
  • You want to know exactly what "integration depth" means in BFS-speak (it's specific)
  • You're comparing your app against a competitor that has the badge and want to close the gap
  • You're hitting LCP, INP, CLS, or API p95 problems and want to know the actual gate numbers
  • You're wiring up GDPR webhooks and want to confirm BFS still requires all three

Don't use this skill for:

  • General App Store submission (different bar — that's app-validation)
  • Performance debugging itself (that's app-performance — this skill references those thresholds but doesn't reteach them)
  • Polaris implementation details (that's a separate UI/design skill)
  • Listing copy or screenshots (that's app-listing-optimization)
  • Pricing strategy (that's app-pricing-strategy)

This skill is the audit framework. The fix-it skills live elsewhere.

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.
