Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.

# BigCommerce GraphQL Storefront API ## Before writing code **Fetch live docs**: 1. Fetch `https://developer.bigcommerce.com/docs/storefront/graphql` for GraphQL overview 2. Web-search `site:developer.bigcommerce.com graphql storefront api reference` for schema reference 3. Web-search `bigcommerce graphql storefront token` for token creation ## Architecture ### What It Is A client-side GraphQL API designed for storefront applications: - Endpoint: `https://{store_domain}/graphql` - Designed for browser/frontend usage (not server-to-server) - Fetch exactly the data you need in a single request - Supports: products, categories, cart, checkout, customer, site settings, content ### When to Use - **Stencil themes** — client-side AJAX calls for dynamic content - **Headless storefronts** — Catalyst/Next.js primary data source - **Single-page applications** — React, Vue, Angular storefronts - **Progressive enhancement** — add dynamic features to server-rendered pages ### GraphQL vs REST | Feature | GraphQL Storefront | REST API | |---------|-------------------|----------| | Audience | Frontend/browser | Backend/server | | Auth | Storefront token | API account token | | Data shape | Client-d

Where does this skill come from?
From majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
