SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Shopify development questions often get answered from memory, producing unverified claims about Liquid behavior, API limits, or platform constraints. This Skill enforces an evidence standard so every Shopify conclusion is grounded in MCP documentation, repository evidence, or explicit unknowns. ## Core Features & Use Cases - MCP-First Verification: Requires checking Shopify MCP documentation before making claims about Liquid objects, API fields, schema attributes, or checkout behavior. - Vault Routing: Defines a cheapest-first loading order across the Shopify module, project brains, personal preferences, and client-specific vault folders. - Complexity Assessment: Outputs a model recommendation with tier, fallback, and escalation triggers before any implementation begins. - Use Case: When asked whether a Liquid filter supports a specific argument, the agent verifies via Shopify MCP docs, cites the evidence, and states a complexity tier before proposing code changes. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to answer a Shopify platform question or plan a Shopify implementation, and it will verify claims through MCP documentation before responding.

FAQPage Schema
How do I verify Shopify platform behavior before answering?▼

Verify Shopify behavior through Shopify MCP documentation before making any claim about Liquid objects, API fields, schema attributes, or checkout behavior. If MCP does not confirm the claim, state that explicitly instead of answering from memory.

How should I load Shopify project context efficiently?▼

Load context cheapest-first: the Shopify module in the vault, then the project brain, personal preferences, durable research, and client-specific folders last. Use frontmatter and filenames to narrow scope instead of reading entire folders.

What phrases are forbidden in Shopify answers?▼

Forbidden phrases include "I think this will work", "Shopify usually does", "I assume", and hedging words like "simply" or "typically". Replace them with verified evidence or an explicit statement that the claim is unknown.

When does a Shopify task need a premium model tier?▼

Premium tiers apply to checkout extensibility, multi-market setups, and theme architecture. Escalate when platform behavior is undocumented, subscription scope emerges, or cross-store architectural changes are required.

Can the agent edit Shopify code right after documentation lookup?▼

No. Documentation lookup is not permission to edit. The agent must state the complexity level, present the plan and risk, and ask for approval unless the user explicitly said to proceed.
