shopify-catalog

shopify-catalog is a skill for Claude Code from OrcaQubits/agentic-commerce-skills-plugins. It costs 45 tokens per session (1,780 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to managing Shopify product data, including products, variants, options, collections, custom fields, inventory, media, and bulk operations. Shopify is an e-commerce platform used to run online stores.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or update products and variants, manage prices and inventory, organize collections, edit custom fields, and run bulk catalog operations.
Why use it?
Shopify's product model separates products, option choices, variants, inventory, and custom fields, which can lead to incorrect updates if treated as one simple record. This explains those parts and their APIs.

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

shopify-catalog 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 2d 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.

Shopify Catalog Management

Before writing code

Fetch live docs:

  1. Web-search site:shopify.dev graphql admin api product for product queries and mutations
  2. Web-search site:shopify.dev metafields metaobjects for custom data APIs
  3. Web-search site:shopify.dev inventory management api for inventory operations
  4. Fetch https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql and search for productCreate, metafieldsSet, bulkOperationRunQuery for current input schemas
  5. Web-search site:shopify.dev product variant options 2025 for latest variant limits and option changes

Product Model

Hierarchy

Product
├── Title, description, vendor, type, tags
├── Status: ACTIVE, DRAFT, ARCHIVED
├── Options (up to 3): Size, Color, Material
├── Variants (combinations of options)
│   ├── Price, compare-at price
│   ├── SKU, barcode
│   ├── Inventory (per location)
│   └── Weight, dimensions
├── Media (images, video, 3D models)
├── Metafields (custom data)
└── Collections (many-to-many)

Options vs Variants

  • Options define the axes of variation (e.g., Size, Color) — max 3 per product
  • Variants are specific combinations of option values (e.g., Small/Red, Medium/Blue)
  • A product with 3 sizes and 4 colors = 12 variants
  • Each variant has its own price, SKU, inventory, and barcode
  • Maximum 2,000 variants per product (increased from 100 in 2024 — verify current limit in live docs)

Key Mutations

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.
