What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines the initial developer setup for building on Shopify by guiding environment detection, installing required tooling, and verifying the AI toolkit plugin so developers can start building apps or themes without manual configuration headaches.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Environment detection: quietly determine the user's client (Claude Code, Cursor, VSCode, Gemini CLI) and adjust guidance accordingly.
  • Automated prerequisites guidance: walk through installing Shopify CLI using common package managers and installing the AI toolkit plugin for the detected client, with clear failure reporting.
  • Onboarding flow and routing: after installation, confirm what was installed and route the developer to the appropriate next skill for app, theme, or API-specific work.
  • Use Case: A developer who has never set up Shopify development can be guided to install the CLI and AI toolkit, verify the setup, and then scaffold a new app project.

Quick Start

Install the Shopify CLI and the AI toolkit plugin for your environment and then help me scaffold a new Shopify app.
