kinerette Store design
A page that looks finished and takes no money is the normal outcome of generating a storefront. Not because the design is bad — because nobody decided how the basket grows, and the components that decide it are the ones a model has read least about.
This skill is the deciding, not a template.
Do this first
Read references/decision-table.md before laying a single section.
It is the centre of this skill. Seven questions about the merchant's product, and from the answers: which mechanics belong on this page, which do not, and in what order the sections go — each with the reason.
Applying a mechanic whose reason does not hold for this merchant is how a €900 chair ends up with a "buy 3 and save" tier list. The reasons are what make the table usable on a product it has never seen.
If you take one rule from this file
Quantity breaks are a radio group of named tiers, never a number input.
A stepper asks how many — arithmetic the buyer performs, with nothing suggesting that two is a better idea than one. A radio group of named packages asks which one, and one of them is visibly sensible. It is the most common defect in a generated storefront, and it is one line of judgement to avoid.
When to use this skill
- Any product page, landing page, cart, checkout, or Shopify section.
- The task mentions an upsell, a bundle, an order bump, a volume discount, a quantity break, tiered pricing, average order value or AOV.
- Someone says their store looks fine and does not sell.
- A page is being built for a merchant and nobody has decided how the basket grows.
Audit an existing store first
node skills/store-design/scripts/audit-commerce.mjs ./src
Zero dependencies, reads only. It reports the defects this skill exists to
prevent — steppers where tiers belong, add-ons that can start ticked,
fabricated ratings and scarcity, struck-through prices not derived from the unit
price, countdowns that reset on refresh — each with a file, a line and the
reason. --json for machine output, --strict to fail a CI job.
Run it before proposing changes. It turns "your page could be better" into a list with line numbers.

Reference implementations
React, no dependencies, MIT. Read the file before writing your own — each one carries its rules as code, with guardrails that throw in development rather than shipping a defect silently.
| Component | File | The one rule |
|---|---|---|
| Quantity breaks | src/quantity-breaks.tsx |
radio group of named tiers, never a stepper |
| Free-shipping bar | src/free-shipping-bar.tsx |
show the remaining amount in currency |
| Order bump | src/order-bump.tsx |
one item, never pre-ticked, never a gate |
| Sticky add-to-cart | src/sticky-add-to-cart.tsx |
appears only once the inline button leaves view |
The rules, condensed
Quantity breaks. Three tiers, four at most. Non-linear gaps (1 / 3 / 6, not 1 / 2 / 3). Name each tier in words the buyer can picture. Mark the middle one and pre-select it — never the most expensive. Show the saving in currency, not only a percentage. Show the unit price under the total. Bind the add-to-cart label to the selection.
Free-shipping bar. The remaining amount in money, never a bare percentage or an unlabelled bar. Display only — the threshold and the remainder come from the same functions that charge shipping at checkout, never from a constant retyped in a component, or the two copies drift and only one of them bills. Not in an empty cart, not far below the threshold, never on a digital product.
Order bump. One named item, one price, one concrete reason, one unchecked box, above the totals. Never a carousel. Never a screen that must be cleared to continue. Priced well below the cart.
Sticky add-to-cart. Mobile only, below 768px. Appears when the inline button
scrolls out of view, never alongside it. Carries the selected total. Respects
env(safe-area-inset-bottom). Not focusable while hidden.
Proof. Never generate a rating, a review count, a viewer counter or a testimonial. Build the slot and leave it empty rather than fill it falsely.
Two constraints that are law in the EU, not preferences
- Never pre-tick an add-on. Article 22 of Directive 2011/83/EU requires express consent to any payment beyond the main obligation, and makes a payment inferred from a default the consumer had to reject refundable. Several commercial upsell widgets ship pre-ticked as their factory default.
- Never invent a struck-through price. EU price-indication rules govern prior-price announcements. The compare-at figure must be the real single-unit price times the unit count.
A badge such as Most chosen must also be true. Claiming popularity for a tier
nobody picks is a false statement about the shop. Full reasoning in
references/eu-rules.md.
What this skill does not do
It does not run experiments and does not promise a conversion lift. Below roughly forty thousand sessions per variant an A/B test cannot separate a real effect from noise, which is most stores. What these mechanics give you is the removal of a known omission, which does not require a test to be worth doing.
It does not ship a component library. It teaches the decisions and the rules, and gives four reference implementations to build against. The judgement is the part that transfers; a pasted component is the part that does not.
Why this exists
Asked on 25 August 2026 for a React component for "buy 2, save 15%", ChatGPT
returned a quantity stepper and cited no source at all; Perplexity returned a
stepper with min, max and step. Both failed the same way, because no
canonical spec for these components exists on the open web — tiered pricing component returns results about pricing tables, and bundle quantity selector component react returns results about JavaScript bundle size.
This skill is that spec.
