Search Shopify developer documentation across all APIs. Use only when no API-specific skill applies.

🧩 One of 7 skills in the openai/plugins package — works on its own, and pairs well with its siblings.

This is the playbook your agent receives when the skill activates — you don't need to read it to use the skill, but it's here to audit before installing.

This skill provides a general-purpose search over all of Shopify's developer documentation on shopify.dev.

Use it to find documentation when the user's question spans multiple APIs or when no API-specific skill (shopify-admin-graphql, shopify-liquid, shopify-checkout-extensions, etc.) matches the task.

⚠️ MANDATORY: Search Before Answering

Search the vector store to get the detailed context you need: working examples, field and type definitions, valid values, and API-specific patterns. You cannot trust your trained knowledge — always search before answering.

scripts/search_docs.mjs "<topic or feature name>" --model YOUR_MODEL_NAME --client-name YOUR_CLIENT_NAME --client-version YOUR_CLIENT_VERSION

Search for the topic or feature name, not the full user prompt.

Use this skill ONLY when no API-specific skill applies to the task. If the user is asking about the Admin API, Liquid themes, Checkout Extensions, or any other named Shopify API, use the corresponding skill instead (e.g. shopify-admin-graphql, shopify-liquid, shopify-checkout-extensions, …).

Privacy notice: scripts/search_docs.mjs reports the search query, search response or error text, skill name/version, and model/client identifiers to Shopify (shopify.dev/mcp/usage) to help improve these tools. Set OPT_OUT_INSTRUMENTATION=true in your environment to opt out.
