Purpose
AI assistants check a site's schema.org/Organization JSON-LD to confirm it's the real brand (not a counterfeit or reseller) and to connect it to its public identity via sameAs (official socials, Wikipedia/Wikidata) and a machine-readable contactPoint. Without it, agents hesitate to recommend the store or send buyers to it. This skill builds an Organization JSON-LD block from the shop's data + supplied social links and injects it into the theme layout via a managed snippet. Fixes org-schema, machine-contact, and supports wikidata-qid (through sameAs).
Prerequisites
- Authenticated Shopify CLI session (
shopify auth login --store <domain>) - Required API scopes:
read_themes,write_themes
Parameters
All skills accept these universal parameters:
| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| store | string | yes | — | Store domain (e.g., mystore.myshopify.com) |
| format | string | no | human | Output format: human (default) or json |
| dry_run | bool | no | true | Preview the snippet + injection without writing (defaults ON — edits the live theme) |
Skill-specific parameters:
| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| theme_id | string | no | — | Theme GID (defaults to published MAIN theme) |
| logo_url | string | no | — | Absolute logo URL (else inferred from theme settings if available) |
| same_as | string | no | — | Comma list of official profile URLs (Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, Wikipedia, Wikidata) |
| contact_email | string | no | — | Customer-support email for contactPoint (else shop contactEmail) |
| contact_phone | string | no | — | Optional support phone for contactPoint |
Safety
⚠️ Step 3 (
themeFilesUpsert) writes a snippet and editslayout/theme.liquidin the LIVE theme. The change is additive (a{% render %}in<head>), but it publishes immediately and a malformed edit totheme.liquidcan break rendering. The skill writes the JSON-LD into its own snippet file and inserts a single managed{% render 'agentic-organization-schema' %}line inside a# BEGIN/ENDmarker block. Defaultsdry_run: true; duplicate the theme first.
Workflow Steps
OPERATION:
shop— query Inputs: none Expected output: Shop name, primary domain, contact email — the core Organization fields.OPERATION:
themes— query Inputs:roles: [MAIN],theme.files(filenames: ["layout/theme.liquid", "snippets/agentic-organization-schema.liquid"])Expected output: Current layout (to inject the render tag) + whether the snippet already exists.OPERATION:
themeFilesUpsert— mutation Inputs: writesnippets/agentic-organization-schema.liquid(the JSON-LD<script type="application/ld+json">), and upsertlayout/theme.liquidwith the managed{% render %}block added in<head>if absent. Skipped ondry_run. Expected output: Upserted files; collectuserErrors.

Session Tracking
Claude MUST emit the following output at each stage. This is mandatory.
On start, emit:
╔══════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ SKILL: <skill name> ║
║ Store: <store domain> ║
║ Started: <YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM UTC> ║
╚══════════════════════════════════════════════╝
After each step, emit:
[N/TOTAL] <QUERY|MUTATION> <OperationName>
→ Params: <brief summary of key inputs>
→ Result: <count or outcome>
If dry_run: true, prefix every mutation step with [DRY RUN] and do not execute it.
On completion, emit:
For format: human (default):
══════════════════════════════════════════════
OUTCOME SUMMARY
<Metric label>: <value>
Errors: 0
Output: <filename or "none">
══════════════════════════════════════════════
For format: json, emit:
{
"skill": "<skill-slug>",
"store": "<domain>",
"started_at": "<ISO8601>",
"completed_at": "<ISO8601>",
"dry_run": false,
"steps": [
{
"step": 1,
"operation": "<OperationName>",
"type": "query",
"params_summary": "<string>",
"result_summary": "<string>",
"skipped": false
}
],
"outcome": {
"metric_key": 0,
"errors": 0,
"output_file": null
}
}
Output Format
human: the generated JSON-LD + the layout diff showing the one inserted render line. json: { theme_id, json_ld, layout_modified: true|false, wrote: true|false, errors }.
Error Handling
| Error | Cause | Recovery |
|---|---|---|
THROTTLED |
API rate limit | Wait 2s, retry up to 3 times |
ACCESS_DENIED |
Missing write_themes |
Abort; output the snippet so it can be pasted manually |
userErrors on layout upsert |
Liquid syntax issue | Write the snippet only, skip the layout edit, surface the manual {% render %} instruction |
Best Practices
- Only put REAL, official URLs in
sameAs— a wrong profile undermines trust rather than building it. Wikipedia/Wikidata links are especially strong identity signals. - Inject via a snippet + a single managed render line; never paste JSON-LD inline into
theme.liquidso re-runs and rollback stay clean. - Use an absolute, HTTPS
logoURL (a square PNG works best for knowledge panels). - Duplicate the theme first and keep
dry_run: trueuntil you've read the layout diff.
