About shopify-app-store-review
This skill is designed to perform a structured pre-submission compliance review for Shopify App Store applications by analyzing a developer’s local codebase. It helps identify potential issues before an app is officially submitted for Shopify review, reducing the risk of rejection and improving submission readiness. The skill operates as a systematic reviewer that compares implementation details in a project against official Shopify App Store requirements.
Its core capability is requirement-by-requirement evaluation, where each rule is processed independently to ensure thorough and focused analysis. It searches the codebase for relevant patterns, configurations, and API usage, then classifies findings into three outcomes: likely passing, likely failing, or needs review when certainty is not possible. It also organizes evaluation context by handling conditional, opt-in, and informational requirement groups, including logic to skip irrelevant sections and track those decisions. Additionally, it references the canonical Shopify App Store AI self-review requirements as the authoritative source for evaluation criteria.
This skill is intended for Shopify app developers, engineering teams, and reviewers preparing apps for App Store submission. It is especially useful during development and pre-release validation phases, helping teams proactively identify compliance gaps. It can be used in supported development environments such as Claude Code, Claude Desktop, and Cursor, making it suitable for integration into everyday development workflows where rapid feedback on app compliance is needed.
FAQ
What does this skill actually evaluate in my project?
It evaluates your local codebase against Shopify App Store compliance requirements by searching for relevant patterns, configurations, and implementation details, then categorizing each requirement as likely passing, likely failing, or needing review.
Does this skill guarantee my app will be approved by Shopify?
No. It only performs a pre-submission compliance check to highlight potential issues. Final approval decisions are made by Shopify during official review.
What happens if the skill cannot clearly determine compliance?
If the codebase does not provide enough evidence, the requirement is marked as 'needs review' to indicate that human judgment or additional context is required.
Which environments is this skill compatible with?
It is compatible with Claude Code, Claude Desktop, and Cursor, as specified in its metadata.
