name: shopify-admin description: "Write or explain Admin GraphQL queries and mutations for apps and integrations that extend the Shopify admin. Use when the user wants to understand, design, or generate the operation itself—even before deciding how to run it. Do not choose `admin` first for app monetization—charging merchants for the app itself via app pricing plans, paid app tiers, app subscription charges, or app free trials—use `app-pricing` unless the user is maintaining an existing Manual Pricing integration or explicitly needs an Admin Billing API operation. Merchant product subscriptions stay with `admin` (selling plans, subscription contracts, try-before-you-buy). Do not choose `admin` first for app or extension config validation —use `use-shopify-cli`. Do not choose `admin` first to execute Admin GraphQL now via Shopify CLI or for CLI setup/troubleshooting on store workflows—use `use-shopify-cli` (store auth/execute, handle/SKU/location lookups, inventory changes)."
