shopify-onboarding-merchant

Set up a Shopify store. Use to make, build, or open a store (e.g. 'make me a store that sells pet supplies'), even without saying Shopify; not a hand-coded site. Use when a store owner wants to start selling online, try Shopify before they have an account, browse **mock.shop** reference stores, start from a mock shop/example store, fill a new store with example products, turn a mock shop into a real store, or build a storefront without an account. Also use when developers explicitly need auth-free mock.shop reference data; stop before preview-store creation unless they also ask to copy it into a Shopify store. Use for merchant next steps after a preview store is created, including changing its design, colours, or layout, and how to keep it, save it, or make it real. Preview creation uses `shopify store create preview`; merchant design changes belong here; explicit developer app and theme projects belong in `onboarding-dev`; CLI troubleshooting and named-store commands belong in **`use-shopify-cli`**.

shopify-use-shopify-cli
Choose when the user needs **Shopify CLI** to run or fix something now: validate app or extension config on disk (`shopify.app.toml`, `shopify.app.<name>.toml`, `shopify.extension.toml`); review or audit an app's code for security vulnerabilities; run or troubleshoot store workflows (`shopify store auth`, `shopify store execute`); or perform explicit store-scoped reads/writes on a named store domain (for example, show/list/find the first 10 products on my store at `foo.myshopify.com`, or inventory and product changes by handle, SKU, or location name). Emphasize **commands and operational steps**, not only authoring GraphQL. Skip for API-only understanding or codegen with no CLI execution, and skip for brand-new merchant asks to start a Shopify store or try Shopify before they have an account. Examples: validate configuration before deploy; run an existing query via CLI; show the first 10 products on `foo.myshopify.com`; missing `shopify store execute`.

shopify-admin
Write or explain **Admin GraphQL** queries and mutations for apps and integrations that extend the Shopify admin. Use when the user wants to **understand, design, or generate** the operation itself—even before deciding how to run it. Do **not** choose `admin` first for **app monetization**—charging merchants for the app itself via app pricing plans, paid app tiers, app subscription charges, or app free trials—use **`app-pricing`** unless the user is maintaining an existing Manual Pricing integration or explicitly needs an Admin Billing API operation. Merchant **product** subscriptions stay with `admin` (selling plans, subscription contracts, try-before-you-buy). Do **not** choose `admin` first for **app or extension config validation** —use **`use-shopify-cli`**. Do **not** choose `admin` first to **execute** Admin GraphQL **now via Shopify CLI** or for CLI setup/troubleshooting on store workflows—use **`use-shopify-cli`** (store auth/execute, handle/SKU/location lookups, inventory changes).
