Shopify ships Hermes Agent skill

This is useful precisely because it is boring: it turns a high-value commerce backend into explicit API actions, which is how agent automation should ship in production.

• –The skill follows Shopify's GraphQL-first direction, which matters because the REST Admin API is legacy and already treated as a fallback.
• –Merchants can automate repetitive ops like inventory checks, product updates, and order lookups without building a custom app layer first.
• –The token-and-scope setup is a feature, not a bug; it keeps agents inside a narrow blast radius and makes approval boundaries clearer.
• –Coverage across products, orders, customers, inventory, and metafields gives it real operational reach, but fulfillment and customer-facing changes still need guardrails.
• –This is more evidence that commerce platforms are becoming tool surfaces for agents, not just SaaS dashboards for humans.
