shopify-app-store-review — Codex skill: what it does, how to install
Audits your Shopify app codebase against App Store requirements prior to submission. Highlights compliance failures and ambiguous code patterns.
npx skills add openai/plugins --skill shopify-app-store-review -a codexWhat shopify-app-store-review does
This skill scans your project files to verify compliance with Shopify App Store guidelines before official submission. It fetches the canonical criteria straight from the Shopify developer documentation via curl or a web browsing tool, avoiding outdated local lists.
The evaluation handles requirements individually, assigning them passing, failing, or review-needed flags. If your environment lacks outbound internet access, the skill cannot retrieve current rules and the audit will stall. You receive a structured summary that groups issues by severity without bloating context with passing checks.
What it helps with
- detect prohibited coding patterns in Shopify app files
- verify compliance with App Store guidelines locally
- flag ambiguous logic requiring human inspection
- generate a structured pre-submission audit summary
Example prompts for the agent
- Run a pre-submission compliance audit on this Shopify app codebase.
- Check my application files against the live Shopify App Store guidelines.
- Perform a self-review scan to detect potential App Store submission issues.
