What shopify-polaris-admin-extensions does

The skill carries context on Shopify admin extensions: how to surface custom actions and blocks from your app in the right spots of the admin, including App Home UI extensions through the admin.app.home.render target (API 2026-07 or later), which renders your app's landing page instead of an iframe. It also covers the Intents API (shopify.intents.invoke) for launching native workflows and scaffolding new extensions with Shopify CLI commands.

What the file actually holds is one line. It is marked deprecated, replaced by shopify, and the agent is told to pass that on to you.

So installing it gets you a file that asks to be removed: npx skills remove shopify-polaris-admin-extensions (-g for a global install), then npx skills add shopify/shopify-ai-toolkit --skill shopify. Worth knowing before you add it to a project — reach for shopify instead.

What it helps with

add a custom action block to the Shopify admin order page
render the app landing page with admin.app.home.render
invoke a native workflow from an extension via shopify.intents.invoke
scaffold a new admin UI extension with Shopify CLI
swap a deprecated skill for its replacement without hunting for it

Example prompts for the agent

Add an action extension to my app that opens from the Shopify admin order page.
How do I launch a native workflow from my extension with shopify.intents.invoke?
Scaffold a new admin UI extension with Shopify CLI and show me the file layout.
