Delivery Time Analysis
Read-only: calculates average time from fulfillment creation to delivery by carrier using fulfillment and order data.
shopify-admin-delivery-time-analysis
Purpose
Analyzes fulfilled orders to calculate average transit time (fulfillment created → delivered) broken down by carrier. Surfaces which carriers are consistently slow or missing delivery confirmations. Read-only — no mutations.
Prerequisites

| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| store | string | yes | — | Store domain (e.g., mystore.myshopify.com) |
| days_back | integer | no | 30 | Lookback window for fulfilled orders |
| min_orders | integer | no | 5 | Minimum orders per carrier to include in averages |
| location_id | string | no | — | Filter by fulfillment location (optional) |
| format | string | no | human | Output format: human or json |

Workflow Steps
orders — query Inputs: query: "fulfillment_status:shipped created_at:>=', first: 250, pagination cursor
Expected output: Orders with fulfillments { createdAt, updatedAt, deliveredAt, trackingInfo { company } }; paginate until hasNextPage: false
deliveredAt - createdAt (skip orders where deliveredAt is null)fulfillmentOrders — query (optional, for location breakdown) Inputs: assignedLocationId: , status: CLOSED, first: 250
Expected output: Fulfilled orders per location for location-level segmentation

Session Tracking
Claude MUST emit the following output at each stage. This is mandatory.
On start, emit:
╔══════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ SKILL: Delivery Time Analysis ║
║ Store: <store domain> ║
║ Started: <YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM UTC> ║
╚══════════════════════════════════════════════╝
After each step, emit:
[N/TOTAL] <QUERY|MUTATION> <OperationName>
→ Params: <brief summary of key inputs>
→ Result: <count or outcome>
On completion, emit:
For format: human (default):

─────────────────────────────────────────────

(carriers below min_orders threshold excluded)
Output: delivery_analysis_<date>.csv
══════════════════════════════════════════════
For format: json, emit:
{
"skill": "delivery-time-analysis",
"store": "<domain>",
"period_days": 30,
"carriers": [
{ "name": "UPS", "orders": 0, "avg_days": 0, "min_days": 0, "max_days": 0 }
],

}
Output Format
CSV file delivery_analysis_ with columns:
order_name, fulfillment_id, carrier, fulfilled_at, delivered_at, transit_days
Error Handling
| Error | Cause | Recovery |
|---|---|---|
THROTTLED | API rate limit exceeded | Wait 2 seconds, retry up to 3 times |
deliveredAt is null | Carrier hasn't confirmed delivery | Exclude from averages, count as "in transit" |
| No fulfilled orders in window | Period too short or no orders | Exit with summary: 0 orders |
Best Practices
min_orders: 10 for statistically meaningful averages — carriers with fewer orders will skew results.deliveredAt is populated only when the carrier confirms delivery via tracking events; some carriers do not report this, so null values are expected.wismo-bulk-status-report skill to correlate slow delivery carriers with WISMO ticket volume.
