When working on Shopify themes or Liquid:
- •If Shopify Dev MCP tools are available, ALWAYS call
learn_shopify_apifirst.- •Do NOT attempt to run it as a shell command; it is an MCP tool.
- •Prefer MCP doc tools when unsure:
- •
search_docs_chunksfor broad search - •
fetch_full_docsfor full pages / deeper context
- •
- •For theme changes:
- •Use theme validation tools (prefer full-theme validation).
- •After edits, validate the theme and fix issues before continuing.
- •Keep changes minimal, Dawn-compatible, and avoid guessing Liquid objects/filters.
