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

top-app-ux-patterns 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.

Top App UX Patterns — What the Best-in-Class Shopify Apps Actually Do

A teardown-driven playbook for designing or reviewing Shopify app UX. Built from a live analysis of six top-grossing apps (Klaviyo, Gorgias, Judge.me, Loox, Vitals, PageFly) representing an estimated $70M–$110M of combined Shopify-channel MRR. Use this skill to lift the converged patterns instead of inventing UX from scratch.


1. When to use

Trigger this skill whenever you are:

  • Designing or reviewing a Shopify App Store listing page (hero, gallery, description, pricing cards, "Works with")
  • Designing the first-run / install / OAuth → first value flow
  • Designing empty states for any in-app screen (dashboard, settings, builder, etc.)
  • Designing the pricing page or choosing a pricing structure (flat / tiered / slot-based / usage-based)
  • Picking the single addictive metric for the merchant's dashboard
  • Reviewing UX for install→activate→pay conversion leaks
  • Comparing a competitor's UX against the converged best-practice set
  • Auditing copy on the listing or in-app for "outcome vs feature" framing
  • Choosing how to handle theme integration (theme code edits vs App Blocks / OS 2.0)
  • Deciding what onboarding data to collect at install vs. defer

Do not use this skill for: backend architecture, billing implementation details (use shopify-app-builder:app-billing), or scope minimization (use shopify-app-builder:audit-scopes). This skill is purely about what merchants see and feel.


2. The six case studies

Each case study compresses the teardown into the patterns worth stealing. Numbers are estimates from the source teardown dated 2026-05-15.

2.1 Klaviyo — Email Marketing & SMS

  • Rating / scale: 4.6 (2,731 reviews). Est. $35M–$50M MRR from Shopify channel.
  • BFS badge: No (legacy).
  • Pricing entry: Free to install. Email from $20/mo (251–500 contacts). SMS from $15/mo.
  • Primary job: Turn anonymous traffic + one-time buyers into a list to re-monetize across email + SMS + WhatsApp.
