This guide walks through the complete flow from discovering a skill to using it successfully for the first time in about 3 minutes. The example used here is the "Shopify Admin" skill.

The Shopify Admin skill is an official StoreClaw skill. It uses the Shopify GraphQL Admin API to query and manage store data, including products, orders, customers, inventory, discounts, and other Shopify resources.

Step 1: Choose a Skill in Skill Hub

  1. Click Skills in the left navigation.
  2. In the category tabs at the top, select Store Management.
  3. Find the Shopify Admin skill card in the list and open its detail page. There you can review the skill's core functions and common scenarios.
  4. Click + to install the skill. If your Shopify store is not connected yet, StoreClaw will ask you to connect it first. For the setup steps, see Connect Your First Store.
  5. After the store is connected, click ... in the lower-right corner of the card and choose Try it out to test the skill.
    • At this point, the skill has been added to "My Skills."

Step 2: Use It in Chat for the First Time

Now test the new capability:

  1. Click New task in the left navigation.
  2. Option A: When you know which skill to use
    • Type / in the chat box and select [shopify-admin] from the list that appears.
  3. Option B: Describe the task directly
    • Enter your request in natural language, for example:

      "Analyze my Shopify store's sales data from last week."

    • StoreClaw will match the most relevant skill automatically.
  4. Click Let's go and review the result generated through the skill.

Step 3: Confirm That the Skill Works

To confirm that the skill is active and working properly, try this prompt:

"Show me the current live order status of my Shopify store."

If the skill is working, StoreClaw shows an overview of store orders. If it says a data source must be connected first, complete the Shopify connector setup before trying again.

Want to keep analysis results organized over time?

StoreClaw provides two ways to manage and preserve analysis output:

  1. Automatic archiving: Reports, charts, and other generated files are automatically saved to the Library, where you can review and reuse them later.
  2. Project management: Use Projects to create a dedicated project for a specific store or business line and keep related conversations and files together.

FAQ

Q: Why doesn't the skill list appear after I type / in the input box?

A: Go to the [My Skills] tab and confirm that the skill has been installed.

Q: Why does StoreClaw sometimes choose the wrong skill to answer my request?

A: This usually happens when several similar skills are enabled at the same time, such as multiple competitor analysis tools. To improve matching accuracy, enable only the skills needed for the current task.

Q: Can I use a skill without typing / first?

A: Yes. As long as the skill is enabled, you can describe the request directly in natural language, such as "Analyze yesterday's refund reasons in my store," and StoreClaw will try to select the best matching skill automatically.

Q: After I activate a skill, is it available in all of my projects automatically?

A: Yes. Skill activation is account-level. Once a skill is enabled in My Skills, you can invoke it through slash commands or natural language in any project or new conversation.
