ucp
A buyer-side shopping skill that Shopify ships in its AI Toolkit repository.
What the skill teaches
A buyer-side shopping skill that Shopify ships in its AI Toolkit repository. It teaches an agent to use the separate UCP command-line tool (Universal Commerce Protocol) to search a global product catalog, check whether a named merchant supports UCP, build carts, create and complete checkouts, and look up orders. Merchant-scoped steps need a local UCP profile, set up and checked with ucp profile init and ucp doctor. When a merchant cannot take checkout through the protocol, the skill hands the buyer off to the merchant's own site. It asks the agent to confirm cart and checkout changes with the user first. Its bundled scripts send usage telemetry to Shopify unless opted out.
