Liquid Reference ​

The /shopify-liquid skill gives Claude deep knowledge of Shopify's Liquid templating language — syntax, filters, tags, objects, schema settings, LiquidDoc, and translation conventions.

Invoke ​

/shopify-liquid

The skill also activates implicitly when you ask Claude to write or edit .liquid files, work with schema JSON, or look up Liquid APIs.

What it knows ​

The skill loads a comprehensive reference covering:

  • Liquid syntax — delimiters, operators, whitespace trimming, variables, critical gotchas (no parentheses, no ternary, 50-iteration loop limit)
  • 152 filters — array, string, math, money, color, media, URL, HTML, localization
  • 30 tags — theme, control flow, iteration, variable, HTML, documentation
  • Global and page-specific objects — cart, product, collection, customer, and all template-scoped objects
  • 33 schema setting types — decision table for choosing the right type, visible_if patterns, block entry types
  • LiquidDoc ({% doc %}) — param types, optional vs required, @example blocks
  • Translation conventions — t filter usage, variable interpolation, locale file structure, key naming
  • JSON template editing — jq-based patterns for safe template and config modifications

Example prompts ​

  • "Create a section schema with an image picker, color setting, and range slider"
  • "What filters can I chain to format a product price with currency?"
  • "Write a LiquidDoc header for a snippet that accepts a product and a boolean"
  • "How do I use visible_if to conditionally show a setting?"
  • "Convert these hardcoded strings to use translation keys"
