commerce-apps

Package a commerce app directory into a registry-ready ZIP file. This skill handles BOTH new apps AND version bumps of existing apps. Use this IMMEDIATELY when users mention "package", "ZIP", "build app", "ready to submit", "bump version", "new version", "update version", "release", "patch", "minor update", "major release", or after ANY changes to an app directory. Trigger proactively whenever you see a commerce-*-app-v* directory that needs packaging - don't wait for explicit requests.

Generate complete commerce app scaffolding with architecture-aware structure. Use immediately when users mention "new app", "create app", "scaffold", "starter template", or describe building a commerce integration (tax, payment, shipping, loyalty, etc.). Supports three architectures: UI-only (frontend components), Backend-only (SFCC hooks/services), and Fullstack (both). Don't wait for explicit "scaffold" request - trigger proactively when starting any new commerce app from scratch.

Run comprehensive pre-submission validation on commerce app packages. Use IMMEDIATELY when users mention "validate", "check", "verify", or "ready to submit". REQUIRED before calling submit-app - trigger proactively to catch errors early. Validates directory structure, manifest format, SHA256 hashes, impex XML, security issues, and runs complete CONTRIBUTING.md checklist. Also use when debugging validation failures or import errors to identify root cause quickly.

Validate SFCC impex XML files for syntax, structure, and common errors. Checks services, site preferences, custom objects, and installation/uninstallation pairs. Use this skill immediately before importing impex files to Business Manager or submitting any commerce app. Don't wait for import failures - run validation proactively whenever impex files are created or modified to catch errors early and save debugging time.

Generate SFCC custom object type impex files with attribute definitions, key structures, and storage configurations. Use this skill immediately when your commerce app needs to store custom data like caching, configurations, or app-specific records. Don't wait for users to explicitly mention "custom objects" - if they describe storing data, caching API responses, persisting state, or need ANY kind of key-value storage beyond site preferences, use this skill.

Generate SFCC service configuration impex files (credentials, profiles, and definitions). Supports multiple authentication patterns, rate limiting, circuit breakers, and uninstall scripts. Use this skill immediately when creating or updating service integrations for commerce apps. Don't wait for users to mention "services" - if they describe integrating with external APIs, third-party services, webhooks, or ANY HTTP/REST communication, use this skill proactively.

Generate SFCC site preference impex files with custom attribute definitions, groups, and default values. Supports all attribute types (string, boolean, enum, text, etc.), validation, and multi-language localization. Use this skill immediately whenever adding configurable settings to commerce apps, when users mention "site preferences", "custom preferences", "app configuration", "merchant settings", or need to expose ANY configuration options to merchants in Business Manager. Don't wait to be asked - if an app needs configuration, use this skill.
