# shopify-polaris-admin-extensions A skill for Shopify admin UI extensions in Claude Code. It ships marked deprecated: instead of guidance it hands your agent a note to uninstall itself and add shopify. - skill · `type=skill` · Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, OpenCode · 9700 installs · ★ 613 - Author: Shopify - License: MIT · policy=mirror · the beginning of the file is at the end of this page - Source: https://github.com/Shopify/Shopify-AI-Toolkit/tree/HEAD/deprecated/shopify-polaris-admin-extensions/SKILL.md - Updated: 2026-10-22 - HTML: https://affpapa.org/en/nevibecode/skills/shopify-shopify-polaris-admin-extensions ## What it 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. ## Install ### Claude Code (native platform) 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add Shopify/Shopify-AI-Toolkit --skill shopify-polaris-admin-extensions -a claude-code ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `~/.claude/skills/shopify-polaris-admin-extensions/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/shopify-polaris-admin-extensions/ ### Codex 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add Shopify/Shopify-AI-Toolkit --skill shopify-polaris-admin-extensions -a codex ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.agents/skills/shopify-polaris-admin-extensions/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/ ### Cursor 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add Shopify/Shopify-AI-Toolkit --skill shopify-polaris-admin-extensions -a cursor ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.cursor/skills/shopify-polaris-admin-extensions/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/ ### GitHub Copilot 1. **GitHub CLI** ```bash gh skill install Shopify/Shopify-AI-Toolkit shopify-polaris-admin-extensions ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.github/skills/shopify-polaris-admin-extensions/SKILL.md` ### Gemini CLI 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add Shopify/Shopify-AI-Toolkit --skill shopify-polaris-admin-extensions -a gemini-cli ``` 2. **Platform CLI** ```bash gemini skills install https://github.com/Shopify/Shopify-AI-Toolkit --path deprecated/shopify-polaris-admin-extensions ``` ### Windsurf (Devin Desktop) **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.devin/skills/shopify-polaris-admin-extensions/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works ### OpenCode **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add Shopify/Shopify-AI-Toolkit --skill shopify-polaris-admin-extensions -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/Shopify/Shopify-AI-Toolkit/tree/HEAD/deprecated/shopify-polaris-admin-extensions/SKILL.md ## When to use it - 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 - 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. ## Source text · SKILL.md · MIT Below is the content of a third-party file.
