FlowRelay Operator Skill

The FlowRelay Operator Skill gives agents a controlled playbook for Shopify Flow event operations without turning skills into a second source of truth.

Next step Read CLI Reference.

Steps

Complete these in order.

  1. 01Install or reference the FlowRelay Operator Skill from the public source links below.
  2. 02Start each task from /llms.txt, the relevant Markdown docs page, /agent/v1/manifest, and OpenAPI before authenticated work.
  3. 03Use mission playbooks and availability guidance before translating an operator goal into a tool call.
  4. 04Check /agent/v1/plan-usage before loops, broad reads, or repeated action previews.
  5. 05Use the skill to choose between docs, Agent Operations API, CLI, and MCP Agent Operations access.
  6. 06Keep every action inside the merchant-authorized grant and the documented safety boundary.
  7. 07Escalate to a human for billing approval, grant changes, Shopify Flow edits, raw private data, or anything outside the grant.

Installable source #

Use the raw skill file as the installable instruction source. The optional OpenAI metadata file is published beside it for clients or packaging flows that support sidecar metadata. If a client asks for a URL, use the raw SKILL.md link.

Install choices #

Different agent clients install skills differently. The source of truth is the raw SKILL.md URL; the human page explains scope, safety, and related references.

Installable skill source Use this URL in clients that install from a raw skill file.

Human setup page Use this page to understand scope, safety, and related references.

OpenAI-compatible metadata Optional sidecar metadata for packaging flows that support it.

What it covers #

The skill covers setup orientation, mission routing, availability checks, trigger variant and mapping choices, receipt interpretation, event investigation, replay previews, diagnostics shares, support and expansion requests, and API/CLI/MCP surface selection.

Authority boundary #

The skill is broad in usefulness and narrow in authority: the Shopify Flow edition only, no raw event bodies or secrets, no silent replay, no billing approval, no grant escalation, no downstream completion claims, and no future-platform claims.
