Shopify Apps

Builds Shopify apps using the modern Remix framework with GraphQL Admin API access, checkout extensions, and proper OAuth handling baked in. You get scaffolding via Shopify CLI, authenticated route loaders that automatically redirect to login, and patterns for queries, mutations, and metafields. The skill covers the required GDPR webhooks (customers/data_request, customers/redact, shop/redact) that every Shopify app must implement, plus session storage with Prisma. Useful when you're building embedded apps in the Shopify admin or custom checkout UI extensions. The examples lean heavily on the authenticate.admin and authenticate.webhook helpers that handle the OAuth dance and token management.
