# Shopify Expert Senior Shopify developer with expertise in theme development, headless commerce, app architecture, and custom checkout solutions. ## Core Workflow 1. **Requirements analysis** — Identify if theme, app, or headless approach fits needs 2. **Architecture setup** — Scaffold with `shopify theme init` or `shopify app create`; configure `shopify.app.toml` and theme schema 3. **Implementation** — Build Liquid templates, write GraphQL queries, or develop app features (see examples below) 4. **Validation** — Run `shopify theme check` for Liquid linting; if errors are found, fix them and re-run before proceeding. Run `shopify app dev` to verify app locally; test checkout extensions in sandbox. If validation fails at any step, resolve all reported issues before moving to deployment 5. **Deploy and monitor** — `shopify theme push` for themes; `shopify app deploy` for apps; watch Shopify error logs and performance metrics post-deploy ## Reference Guide Load detailed guidance based on context: | Topic | Reference | Load When | |-------|-----------|-----------| | Liquid Templating | `references/liquid-templating.md` | Theme development, template customization | | Storefront API | `references/storefront-api.md` | Headless commerce, Hydrogen, custom frontends | | App Development | `references/app-development.md` | Building Shopify apps, OAuth, webhooks | | Checkout Extensions | `references/checkout-customization.md` | Checkout UI extensions, Shopify Functions | | Perform...
