Vercel Shop is a monorepo, meaning one code repository that contains multiple related applications and tools, for a Next.js Shopify storefront template, its documentation site, and a scaffolding CLI. It helps developers create and work with Shopify storefronts built on Next.js. The catalogue entries are skills, commands, a plugin, and an instruction for working with this project.

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 | $0.00049 | $0.00376 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00020 | $0.00150 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00075 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00038 |
Grade A, and why
init-vercel-shop 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 5d 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.
What it actually says
Initialize Vercel Shop
Ask for the target directory if the user did not provide one. Always pass it explicitly.
-
Inspect the target. If it already contains a Vercel Shop project, stop and use the relevant storefront skill instead. If it is a non-empty directory, ask for a different target rather than overwriting files.
-
Run:
pnpm create next-app@latest <target-directory> --example https://github.com/vercel/shopThe template pins pnpm 12 and Node.js 26.
-
Confirm the generated project contains
AGENTS.md,.agents/skills/,app/,components/,lib/shopify/, andpackage.json. -
Read the generated
AGENTS.mdbefore making further changes. -
If dependency installation fails, keep the generated project and show the retry command to run from its root:
pnpm install -
Ask one optional follow-up: Connect an existing Shopify store now?
If yes, ask only for the store's admin URL or
.myshopify.comdomain, then read references/storefront-token.md and follow its automated Shopify CLI flow. Try to reuse or create a public Storefront token before asking the user to visit the Headless channel.If no, finish with the normal environment setup as the next step.
Return the generated project path, whether a Shopify store was connected, and whether dependency installation needs a retry.
What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.
