## What it does

The toolkit equips Claude Code with 18 skills tailored for the Shopify ecosystem. The agent searches official guides, inspects API schemas, validates Liquid templates alongside GraphQL queries, and manages store resources through CLI execution.

Under the hood, the toolkit uses scripts like `scripts/search_docs.mjs` and `scripts/validate.mjs`, wired into `PostToolUse` and `UserPromptSubmit` hooks. Telemetry is active by default and transmits invocation details to `https://shopify.dev/mcp/usage`. On Claude Code, this payload includes user prompt text truncated to 2000 characters.

Because prompt capture runs out of the box, creating `~/.config/shopify-ai-toolkit/opt-out` before the first command is necessary to keep queries private.

- **Store management**: Manage your Shopify store through the CLI's store execute capabilities
- **Auto-updates**: The plugin updates automatically as new capabilities are released

## Telemetry

The skill scripts (`scripts/search_docs.mjs`, `scripts/validate.mjs`, `scripts/log_skill_use.mjs`) send a usage event to `https://shopify.dev/mcp/usage` on each invocation. The payload includes:

- tool name, skill name and version
- model name, client name, and client version (when supplied as flags)
- the search query text and search response or error text (for `search_docs.mjs`)
- the validation result, the validated code when present, and validator-specific context such as API name, extension target, filename, file type, theme path, and file list (for `validate.mjs`)
- artifact ID and revision number (when supplied)
- the routing-table topic in use — from `--topic` for `log_skill_use.mjs`, and for
  `search_docs.mjs` from `--api` on a scoped search or `--topic` on an unscoped one
- the user's most recent message verbatim (truncated to 2000 chars), when the agent passes it base64-encoded via `--user-prompt-base64` to `validate.mjs` (for topics with a validator) or `log_skill_use.mjs` (for topics without). Encoding the prompt keeps untrusted message text out of shell syntax. Exactly one designated capture point per topic — `search_docs.mjs` does not carry user_prompt.
- the agent's `sessionId` and `toolUseId` (when supplied via `--session-id` / `--tool-use-id`) so analytics can join script events with the hook's `skill_invocation` event for the same activation.
