Agentic Commerce Generate Ai Descriptions

Purpose

Takes products flagged by [agentic-commerce-audit-descriptions](../../catalog-audit/agentic-commerce-audit-descriptions/SKILL.md) (or any product list) and rewrites their descriptions using Claude to inject the structured signals AI shopping agents need: use-case language, dimensions, materials, target persona — without losing the brand voice.

The skill is conservative by default: it does not overwrite existing descriptions in a single pass. It writes the rewrite to a draft field and shows the diff. The merchant explicitly approves the batch before publish.

Prerequisites

• Authenticated Shopify CLI session
• API scopes: read_products, write_products
• ANTHROPIC_API_KEY env var set (for the Claude call)

Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description | |-----------|------|----------|---------|-------------| | store | string | yes | — | Store domain | | product_ids | array | no | — | Specific product IDs to rewrite. If omitted, rewrites all products with description-dimension score ⚠️ Mutations are gated behind dry_run: true AND publish: false by default. The skill is designed to fail safe: the worst case (running with no flags) just writes drafts to a metafield, not the live description. Explicit publish: true is required to overwrite live descriptions. > > Claude can hallucinate specs. The prompt explicitly says "do not invent specs that cannot be inferred from the title or tags". But it is not 100% reliable on niche products. Always review before publish: true on products where accuracy of dimensions/materials matters (regulated categories like cosmetics, supplements, electronics with safety certifications).

GraphQL Operations

# productUpdate:mutation — validated against api_version 2025-01
mutation ProductUpdateDescription($id: ID!, $descriptionHtml: String!) {
  productUpdate(input: { id: $id, descriptionHtml: $descriptionHtml }) {
    product {
      id
      descriptionHtml
    }
    userErrors {
      field
      message
    }
  }
}

# Alternative: write to draft metafield
mutation ProductDescriptionDraftWrite($id: ID!, $value: String!) {
  productUpdate(
    input: {
      id: $id,
      metafields: [
        { namespace: "agentic_commerce", key: "description_draft", type: "multi_line_text_field", value: $value }
      ]
    }
  ) {
    product { id }
    userErrors { field message }
  }
}

Reference

The "what to inject" logic implements the description-dimension rules from METHODOLOGY.md. Re-run the catalog audit after fixes to measure score uplift.
