shopify-category-taxonomylisted

Use when you assign the Shopify Standard Product Taxonomy category, "set the product category", "categorize the catalog", or fill the category / taxonomy metafields: the admin "Category metafields" panel (Color, Size, Material, Caffeine content), a.k.a. product category attributes / taxonomy attributes, including the attributes a Google feed asks for. Covers bulk classification, discovering a category's attributes and allowed values, minting the reserved value metaobjects, and writing them safely. Also: "category metafields show blank/null", "my Color attribute won't save". Not for bulk CSV data loads (Matrixify can't do this; see shopify-matrixify for bulk data).

# Shopify Category Taxonomy Two jobs that chain together: **assign** a product's Standard Product Taxonomy category (Part 1), then **fill** the category metafields that category exposes (Part 2). You cannot do Part 2 until Part 1 is true: the "Category metafields" panel only exists once a product is assigned to a category. Bulk CSV data work lives in the sibling `shopify-matrixify`; the one thing Matrixify **cannot** do is mint the reserved value metaobjects Part 2 needs, which is the entire reason this skill exists. ## Store access **Lane A: custom-app token (scriptable).** Shopify admin → Settings → Apps and sales channels → Develop apps → create an app → grant the four scopes below → install → copy the Admin API access token. Export it; never write it to disk: ```bash export SHOPIFY_STORE="your-store.myshopify.com" export SHOPIFY_ACCESS_TOKEN="<your Admin API access token>" # env, not disk curl -s "https://$SHOPIFY_STORE/admin/api/2025-07/graphql.json" \ -H "X-Shopify-Access-Token: $SHOPIFY_ACCESS_TOKEN" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"query":"{ shop { name } }"}' ``` Minimum scopes: **`read_products`, `write_products`, `read_metaobjects`, `write_metaobjects`.** The metaobjects pair is not optional (see the null trap). **Lane B: Shopify CLI OAuth (no stored token).** `shopify store auth --store $SHOPIFY_STORE --scopes read_products,write_products,read_metaobjects,write_metaobjects` then `shopify store execute`. Good for token-less stores where the o
