Workflow Steps
products — query Inputs: query: "status:, first: 250, select images, variants { image }, pagination cursor
Expected output: Products with image counts and variant image assignments; paginate until hasNextPage: false
images.count < min_images OR images.count == 0check_variants: flag variants where image is nullGraphQL Operations
# products:query — validated against api_version 2025-01

Session Tracking
Claude MUST emit the following output at each stage. This is mandatory.
On start, emit:
╔══════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ SKILL: Product Image Audit ║
║ 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):
══════════════════════════════════════════════
PRODUCT IMAGE AUDIT
Products scanned: <n>
Missing all images: <n>
Below min (<min_images>): <n>
Variants missing image: <n>
Products needing images:
"<title>" — 0 images
"<title>" — 1 image (below min <n>)
Output: image_audit_<date>.csv
══════════════════════════════════════════════
For format: json, emit:
{
"skill": "product-image-audit",
"store": "<domain>",
"min_images": 1,
"products_scanned": 0,
"missing_all_images": 0,
"below_minimum": 0,
"variants_missing_image": 0,
"output_file": "image_audit_<date>.csv"
}
Output Format
CSV file image_audit_ with columns:
product_id, product_title, handle, image_count, issue, variant_id, variant_sku, variant_has_image
Error Handling
| Error | Cause | Recovery |
|---|---|---|
THROTTLED | API rate limit exceeded | Wait 2 seconds, retry up to 3 times |
| No products match filter | Empty catalog or wrong status filter | Exit with 0 results |
Best Practices
min_images: 3 to ensure at least one front, back, and lifestyle shot per product.product-data-completeness-score for a single comprehensive catalog quality report.
