## What it does

This skill handles Shopify pages, blog articles, navigation menus, redirects, SEO metadata, and metaobjects. It uses the GraphQL Admin API for pages, articles, and metaobjects, while redirects use the REST Admin API. Navigation changes are better handled through browser automation.

You need an Admin API token with `read_content` and `write_content` scopes. Menu work also requires `read_online_store_navigation` and `write_online_store_navigation`, so check token permissions before changing a store.

The workflow queries content again after edits to verify the result. Use pages for simple content such as About or FAQ material; use metaobjects for repeatable structured records with typed fields. Article publishing can be scheduled with `publishDate`.

# Shopify Content

Create and manage Shopify store content — pages, blog posts, navigation menus, and SEO metadata. Produces live content in the store via the Admin API or browser automation.

## Prerequisites

- Admin API access token with `read_content`, `write_content` scopes (use **shopify-setup** skill)
- For navigation: `read_online_store_navigation`, `write_online_store_navigation` scopes

## Workflow

### Step 1: Determine Content Type

| Content Type | API Support | Method |
|-------------|-------------|--------|
| Pages | Full | GraphQL Admin API |
| Blog posts | Full | GraphQL Admin API |
| Navigation menus | Limited | Browser automation preferred |
| Redirects | Full | REST Admin API |
| SEO metadata | Per-resource | GraphQL on the resource |
| Metaobjects | Full | GraphQL Admin API |

### Step 2a: Create Pages

```bash
curl -s https://{store}/admin/api/2025-01/graphql.json \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-Shopify-Access-Token: {token}" \
  -d '{
    "query": "mutation pageCreate($page: PageCreateInput!) { pageCreate(page: $page) { page { id title handle } userErrors { field message } } }",
    "variables": {
      "page": {
        "title": "About Us",
        "handle": "about",
        "body": "<h2>Our Story</h2><p>Content here...</p>",
        "isPublished": true,
        "seo": {
          "title": "About Us | Store Name",
          "description": "Learn about our story and mission."
        }
      }
    }
  }'
```

**Page body** accepts HTML. Keep it semantic:
- Use `<h2>` through `<h6>` for headings (the page title is `<h1>`)
- Use `<p>`, `<ul>`, `<ol>` for body text
- Use `<a href="...">` for links
- Avoid inline styles — the theme handles styling

### Step 2b: Create Blog Posts

Shopify blogs have a two-level structure: **Blog** (container) > **Article** (post).

**Find or create a blog**:

```graphql
{
  blogs(first: 10) {
    edges {
      node { id title handle }
    }
  }
}
```

Most stores have a default blog called "News". Create articles in it:

```graphql
mutation {
  articleCreate(article: {
    blogId: "gid://shopify/Blog/123"
    title: "New Product Launch"
    handle: "new-product-launch"
    contentHtml: "<p>We're excited to announce...</p>"
    author: { name: "Store Team" }
    tags: ["news", "products"]
    isPublished: true
    publishDate: "2026-02-22T00:00:00Z"
    seo: {
      title: "New Product Launch | Store Name"
      description: "Announcing our latest product range."
    }
    image: {
      src: "https://example.com/blog-image.jpg"
      altText: "New product collection"
    }
  }) {
    article { id title handle }
````
