## What it does

The skill covers WooCommerce REST API `wc/v3`: base URL, authentication, products, orders, customers, webhooks and custom extensions. It ships TypeScript and Python examples, including variable products and stock updates.

Your store has to be ready first: WordPress with the WooCommerce plugin, HTTPS enabled, and permalinks set to anything except "Plain". API keys come from WooCommerce → Settings → Advanced → REST API, and the `Consumer Key` and `Consumer Secret` are shown only once. Node.js projects install `@woocommerce/woocommerce-rest-api`, Python projects install `woocommerce`.

Basic Auth is the main path. Query string auth is kept as a fallback for hosting setups where Basic Auth fails. The Node.js config has a `queryStringAuth` flag, and the comment next to it says to turn that on for development only.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add alinaqi/maggy --skill woocommerce -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/woocommerce/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/woocommerce/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add alinaqi/maggy --skill woocommerce -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/woocommerce/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add alinaqi/maggy --skill woocommerce -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/woocommerce/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install alinaqi/maggy woocommerce
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/woocommerce/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add alinaqi/maggy --skill woocommerce -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/alinaqi/maggy --path skills/woocommerce
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/woocommerce/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add alinaqi/maggy --skill woocommerce -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/alinaqi/maggy/tree/HEAD/skills/woocommerce/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- pull a product list filtered by category
- create a variable product with size and color options
- update stock quantity for one product
- fetch orders placed in the last few days
- set up API authentication for a store

## Example prompts
- Write a TypeScript function that searches WooCommerce products by query
- Create a variable product with Size and Color attributes through the REST API
- Show me how to update stock_quantity for a product by id

## Prerequisites

### Store Requirements

```bash
# WooCommerce store must have:
# 1. WordPress with WooCommerce plugin installed
# 2. HTTPS enabled (required for API auth)
# 3. Permalinks set to anything except "Plain"
#    WordPress Admin → Settings → Permalinks → Post name (recommended)
```

### Generate API Keys

1. Go to **WooCommerce → Settings → Advanced → REST API**
2. Click **Add key**
3. Set Description, User (admin), and Permissions (Read/Write)
4. Click **Generate API key**
5. Copy **Consumer Key** and **Consumer Secret** (shown only once)

---

## API Basics

### Base URL

```
https://your-store.com/wp-json/wc/v3/
```

### Authentication

```typescript
// Node.js - Basic Auth (recommended)
const WooCommerceRestApi = require("@woocommerce/woocommerce-rest-api").default;

const api = new WooCommerceRestApi({
  url: "https://your-store.com",
  consumerKey: process.env.WC_CONSUMER_KEY,
  consumerSecret: process.env.WC_CONSUMER_SECRET,
  version: "wc/v3"
});
```

```python
# Python
from woocommerce import API

wcapi = API(
    url="https://your-store.com",
    consumer_key=os.environ["WC_CONSUMER_KEY"],
    consumer_secret=os.environ["WC_CONSUMER_SECRET"],
    version="wc/v3"
)
```

### Query String Auth (Fallback)

```bash
# Only use if Basic Auth fails (some hosting configurations)
curl https://your-store.com/wp-json/wc/v3/products \
  ?consumer_key=ck_xxx&consumer_secret=cs_xxx
```

---

## Installation

### Node.js

```bash
npm install @woocommerce/woocommerce-rest-api
```

```typescript
// lib/woocommerce.ts
import WooCommerceRestApi from "@woocommerce/woocommerce-rest-api";

const api = new WooCommerceRestApi({
  url: process.env.WC_STORE_URL!,
  consumerKey: process.env.WC_CONSUMER_KEY!,
  consumerSecret: process.env.WC_CONSUMER_SECRET!,
  version: "wc/v3",
  queryStringAuth: false, // Set true for HTTP (dev only)
});

export default api;
```

### Python

```bash
pip install woocommerce
```

```python
# lib/woocommerce.py
import os
from woocommerce import API

wcapi = API(
    url=os.environ["WC_STORE_URL"],
    consumer_key=os.environ["WC_CONSUMER_KEY"],
    consumer_secret=os.environ["WC_CONSUMER_SECRET"],
    version="wc/v3",
    timeout=30
)
```

---

## Products

### List Products

```typescript
// Node.js
async function getProducts(page = 1, perPage = 20) {
  const response = await api.get("products", {
    page,
    per_page: perPage,
    status: "publish",
  });
  return response.data;
}

// With filters
async function searchProducts(search: string, category?: number) {
````
