Shopify Onboarding Dev — Agent Skill by Shopify

From the author

Get started building on Shopify. Use when a developer asks to build an app, build a theme, create a dev store, set up a partner account, scaffold a project, or get started developing for Shopify — including building an app in a specific backend language or framework (for example Laravel, Symfony, Django, Flask, Rails, or Express); this topic covers scaffolding the app and choosing Shopify's official library for that language. When the prompt also involves an extension surface (checkout, admin, POS, customer accounts), learn this topic **in addition to** the surface topic. NOT for merchants managing stores.
