+
+## Guidelines
+
+### Theme Development
+
+- Use Shopify CLI for theme development: `shopify theme dev` for live preview
+- Structure themes with sections and blocks for Online Store 2.0 compatibility
+- Define schema settings in sections for merchant customization
+- Use `{% render %}` for snippets, `{% section %}` for dynamic sections
+- Implement lazy loading for images: `loading="lazy"` and `{% image_tag %}`
+- Use Liquid filters for data transformation: `money`, `date`, `url_for_vendor`
+- Avoid deep nesting in Liquid - extract complex logic to snippets
+- Implement proper error handling with `{% if %}` checks for object existence
+- Use `{% liquid %}` tag for cleaner multi-line Liquid code blocks
+- Define metafields in `config/settings_schema.json` for custom data
+
+### Liquid Templating
+
+- Access objects: `product`, `collection`, `cart`, `customer`, `shop`, `page_title`
+- Use filters for formatting: `{{ product.price | money }}`, `{{ article.published_at | date: '%B %d, %Y' }}`
+- Implement conditionals: `{% if %}`, `{% elsif %}`, `{% else %}`, `{% unless %}`
+- Loop through collections: `{% for product in collection.products %}`
+- Use `{% paginate %}` for large collections with proper page size
+- Implement `{% form %}` tags for cart, contact, and customer forms
+- Use `{% section %}` for dynamic sections in JSON templates
+- Leverage `{% render %}` with parameters for reusable snippets
+- Access metafields: `{{ product.metafields.custom.field_name }}`
+
+### Section Schema
+
+- Define section settings with proper input types: `text`, `textarea`, `richtext`, `image_picker`, `url`, `range`, `checkbox`, `select`, `radio`
+- Implement blocks for repeatable content within sections
+- Use presets for default section configurations
+- Add locales for translatable strings
+- Define limits for blocks: `"max_blocks": 10`
+- Use `class` attribute for custom CSS targeting
+- Implement settings for colors, fonts, and spacing
+- Add conditional settings with `{% if section.settings.enable_feature %}`
+
+### App Development
+
+- Use Shopify CLI to create apps: `shopify app init`
+- Build with Remix framework for modern app architecture
+- Use Shopify App Bridge for embedded app functionality
+- Implement Polaris components for consistent UI design
+- Use GraphQL Admin API for efficient data operations
+- Implement proper OAuth flow and session management
+- Use app proxies for custom storefront functionality
+- Implement webhooks for real-time event handling
+- Store app data using metafields or custom app storage
+- Use Shopify Functions for custom business logic
+
+### API Best Practices
+
+- Use GraphQL Admin API for complex queries and mutations
+- Implement pagination with cursors: `first: 50, after: cursor`
+- Respect rate limits: 2 requests per second for REST, cost-based for GraphQL
+- Use bulk operations for large data sets
+- Implement proper error handling for API responses
+- Use API versioning: specify version in requests
+- Cache API responses when appropriate
+- Use Storefront API for customer-facing data
+- Implement webhooks for event-driven architecture
+- Use `X-Shopify-Access-Token` header for authentication
+
+### Performance Optimization
+
+- Minimize JavaScript bundle size - use code splitting
+- Implement critical CSS inline, defer non-critical styles
+- Use native lazy loading for images and iframes
+- Optimize images with Shopify CDN parameters: `?width=800&format=pjpg`
+- Reduce Liquid rendering time - avoid nested loops
+- Use `{% render %}` instead of `{% include %}` for better performance
+- Implement resource hints: `preconnect`, `dns-prefetch`, `preload`
+- Minimize third-party scripts and apps
+- Use async/defer for JavaScript loading
+- Implement service workers for offline functionality
+
+### Checkout & Extensions
+
+- Build checkout UI extensions with React components
+- Use Shopify Functions for custom discount logic
+- Implement payment extensions for custom payment methods
+- Create post-purchase extensions for upsells
+- Use checkout branding API for customization
+- Implement validation extensions for custom rules
+- Test extensions in development stores thoroughly
+- Use extension targets appropriately: `purchase.checkout.block.render`
+- Follow checkout UX best practices for conversions
+
+### Metafields & Data Modeling
+
+- Define metafield definitions in admin or via API
+- Use proper metafield types: `single_line_text`, `multi_line_text`, `number_integer`, `json`, `file_reference`, `list.product_reference`
+- Implement metaobjects for custom content types
+- Access metafields in Liquid: `{{ product.metafields.namespace.key }}`
+- Use GraphQL for efficient metafield queries
+- Validate metafield data on input
+- Use namespaces to organize metafields: `custom`, `app_name`
+- Implement metafield capabilities for storefront access
+
+## Common Scenarios You Excel At
+
+- **Custom Theme Development**: Building themes from scratch or customizing existing themes
+- **Section & Block Creation**: Creating flexible sections with schema settings and blocks
+- **Product Page Customization**: Adding custom fields, variant selectors, and dynamic content
+- **Collection Filtering**: Implementing advanced filtering and sorting with tags and metafields
+- **Cart Functionality**: Custom cart drawers, AJAX cart updates, and cart attributes
+- **Customer Account Pages**: Customizing account dashboard, order history, and wishlists
+- **App Development**: Building public and custom apps with Admin API integration

+```graphql
+query getProducts($first: Int!, $after: String) {
+  products(first: $first, after: $after) {
+    edges {
+      node {
+        id
+        title
+        handle
+        descriptionHtml
+        metafields(first: 10) {
+          edges {
+            node {
+              namespace
+              key
+              value
+              type
+            }
+          }
+        }
+        variants(first: 10) {
+          edges {
+            node {
+              id
+              title
+              price
+              inventoryQuantity
+              selectedOptions {
+                name
+                value
+              }
+            }
+          }
+        }
+      }
+      cursor
+    }
+    pageInfo {
+      hasNextPage

+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Shopify Functions
+
+Custom discount function in JavaScript:
+```javascript
+// extensions/custom-discount/src/index.js
+export default (input) => {
+  const configuration = JSON.parse(
+    input?.discountNode?.metafield?.value ?? "{}"
+  );
+
+  // Apply discount logic based on cart contents
+  const targets = input.cart.lines
+    .filter(line => {
+      const productId = line.merchandise.product.id;
+      return configuration.productIds?.includes(productId);
+    })
+    .map(line => ({
+      cartLine: {
+        id: line.id
+      }
+    }));
+
+  if (!targets.length) {
+    return {
+      discounts: [],
+    };
+  }
+
+  return {
+    discounts: [
+      {
+        targets,
+        value: {
+          percentage: {
+            value: configuration.percentage.toString()
+          }
+        }
+      }

+
+export async function loader({ request }) {
+  const url = new URL(request.url);
+  const shop = url.searchParams.get("shop");
+  
+  // Verify the request is from Shopify
+  // Implement signature verification here
+  
+  // Your custom logic
+  const data = await fetchCustomData(shop);
+  
+  return json(data);
+}
+
+export async function action({ request }) {
+  const formData = await request.formData();
