# Core Shopify Audit

Start with fifteen public-browser checks focused on homepage, collection and product-page browsing.

| Context | What to provide |
| --- | --- |
| Required context | Live storefront URL. |
| Optional context | Theme repository, GitHub, Shopify, Google Analytics, and prior reports. |

Core covers the homepage, a populated collection and a representative product. It stops before add-to-cart submission. Cart and checkout testing belongs to `$comprehensive-shopify-audit`.

**Execution requirements:** Browser control; optional repository, command or connected-data access where a Check needs it. Works in Glue's read-only reviews and other capable hosts; only dependent Checks are blocked by missing capabilities.

Local runs open a bundled localhost viewer for Issues, Checks, Changes and Limitations and link the complete shared-schema `report.json`. The viewer needs Python 3.9+, command execution and a persistent process; the saved report remains usable when these are unavailable. Glue manages its own JSON results and rendering.

## How to use

1. Invoke `$core-shopify-audit`; leave the scope open for Basic or name a category to focus its checks. Explicit comprehensive coverage uses `$comprehensive-shopify-audit` when installed.
2. Review the localhost results, concise actions and coverage readout, with the complete report linked as an artifact in local chats. The skill does not implement changes.

## Examples

```text
Use $core-shopify-audit to check accessibility on https://store.example.com using the supplied theme repository and prior report. Keep unavailable evidence explicit.
