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

liquid-themes 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 11d 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.

Liquid Theme Development (Online Store 2.0)

Liquid is Shopify's templating language for building themes and sections on Online Store 2.0. This skill covers Liquid syntax, section schema definition, JSON templates, blocks, filters (20+ common), objects, theme file structure, presets, and real-world section and template patterns.

When Asked

When asked to build a Liquid section with settings: Provide a complete section file with schema (settings array, presets, locales), CSS, and JavaScript; explain how settings map to template variables.

Before returning any section, app block, or theme schema: Run the Shopify schema dedupe check mentally or with scripts/validate-shopify-schema-ids.mjs <theme-or-file>. Every settings[].id must be unique within its own schema scope, every block's settings[].id must be unique inside that block type, and every blocks[].type should be unique unless you are intentionally defining different block entries. Do not paste settings from multiple examples until you merge and dedupe IDs.

When asked to implement product filters or sorting: Use the collection product pagination, filters by attribute, sorting with Liquid forloop and if/case statements; explain faceting.

When asked to add custom fields to products: Use metafields in Liquid (product.metafields.namespace.key), explain metafield definitions, and show rendering in sections.

When asked to create reusable components: Use include/render snippets with passed parameters; explain snippet vs. render differences and variable scope.

When asked about Liquid filters and string manipulation: Provide examples of 20+ filters (split, join, size, capitalize, downcase, strip_html, truncate, money, date, etc.) with use cases.

When asked to optimize theme performance: Discuss lazy loading, critical CSS, reducing render-blocking resources, and using theme-check for linting.


Liquid & Online Store 2.0 Architecture

Liquid provides:

  • Section-Based Editing: Drag-and-drop sections with live customization
  • Schema System: Settings (text, select, checkbox, range, color), preset configurations
  • Blocks: Repeatable content blocks within sections (e.g., carousel slides, testimonials)
  • JSON Templates: Structured page templates with sections array
  • Filters: 50+ filters for formatting (string, date, money, array, math)
  • Objects: Global objects (shop, page, product, collection, cart, customer)
  • Include & Render: Reusable snippets with parameter passing
  • Forloop & Control: for, if, unless, case/when, break, continue statements
  • Metafields: Custom product/collection/order data fields
