## What it does

The skill reviews how a Shopify storefront theme performs and what to fix first. It looks at your current setup, flags weak spots, and turns them into recommendations. Topics covered: Core Web Vitals, Liquid code, image loading, mobile responsiveness.

Output is a structured report — current state assessment, action items sorted from quick wins to long-term work, tool and app comparisons with cost, an implementation timeline, and KPIs to track. Everything inside is guidance and frameworks, not direct Shopify API integration. So treat the numbers as a starting point and validate them against your own store data; the advice comes from general best practices.

Install runs through `npx skills add`. The skill is marked Beta, which means some recommendations stay generic. If you want real-time analytics or automated optimization, this won't do it.
