Guides Shopify architecture decisions across Liquid themes, headless Hydrogen storefronts, embedded apps, and checkout Functions with shared API and data standards.

Shopify Core is the foundational architectural hub for developing on Shopify. It evaluates business and technical requirements to route projects to the correct surface—Liquid themes, Hydrogen headless storefronts, Admin embedded apps, or checkout Functions—preventing costly re-architecture. The skill manages cross-cutting standards including quarterly API versioning, authentication models (OAuth, session tokens, Storefront tokens), data modeling with Metafields and Metaobjects, webhook verification, rate limits, CLI tooling, and EU compliance like GDPR and accessibility requirements.
