Install the StoreConnect AI skills

The StoreConnect AI skills teach an AI assistant how StoreConnect actually works: themes and Liquid templates, forms, the Salesforce object model, deployment order, and point of sale. With the skills installed, your assistant follows real platform conventions instead of a plausible-sounding guess.

Use this process to install the skills into the AI product you already use. Everything comes from the public GetStoreConnect/ai repository, which is free and open and contains no store addresses, no passwords, and no customer data. Installing the skills connects nothing and changes nothing in your store. It is closer to handing someone the manual than handing them the keys.

:::note Skills are knowledge, not access. A live connection that lets an assistant read and change one specific store uses MCP: see Connect an AI agent to your store. The skills are fully useful without a connection. :::

Before you begin

• An AI product that supports skills or plugins. The table below covers Claude, Codex and ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Google Antigravity, Gemini, Kiro, and Grok Build.
• A terminal with npx available, or the AI product’s own command line tool, for any install that runs a command.
• git, for the products whose package installs from a local checkout of the repository.

You do not need StoreConnect credentials, Salesforce access, or a store URL. Nothing here signs in to anything.

Choose your install: package or open skills format

There are two ways in, and picking the wrong one is the most common source of confusion. Both install the same 13 skills. The difference is what comes with them.

• Install your product’s package when your product appears in the table below. The package is those same skills wrapped in the product’s own plugin format, plus the specialist agents and ready-made commands that the product supports.
• Install with the open skills format when your product is not listed, or when you want nothing but the skills in a single project folder. This is the fallback that works with any product supporting the open skills layout, and it is the recommended route for Kiro and for Antigravity 2.0 and IDE.

Find your product, then follow that product’s section below.

AI product	Install route	Also included	Status
Claude Code	Package	5 specialist agents, 3 commands	Supported
Claude web, desktop, and mobile	Arrives with the store connection	Skills only	Supported
Codex and ChatGPT	Package	Skills only	Supported
GitHub Copilot CLI	Package	5 specialist agents	Supported
Cursor	Package	5 specialist agents, 3 commands	Supported
Gemini CLI	Package	5 specialist agents	Supported
Google Antigravity	Package for Antigravity CLI, open skills format for Antigravity 2.0 and IDE	Skills only	Preview
Kiro	Open skills format	Skills only	Preview
Grok Build	Package from the xAI plugin marketplace	5 specialist agents, 3 commands	Preview
Any other product that supports skills	Open skills format	Skills only	Supported

Preview means the route works but has not yet passed live acceptance against a target store, so expect rough edges and verify the result before you rely on it.

:::note Products without an agents or commands feature carry the same procedures inside the skills themselves, so nothing is lost by installing skills only. The specialist agents and commands are convenience wrappers, not extra knowledge. :::

Install the package for your product

Run each product’s commands from the root of the project you want the skills available in.

Claude Code

```bash

claude plugin marketplace add GetStoreConnect/ai –sparse .claude-plugin providers/claude/storeconnect claude plugin install storeconnect@storeconnect-ai claude plugin list ```

--sparse starts with two hyphens and takes both of the paths that follow it, so the download is limited to the two folders Claude Code needs.

:::warning Copying this command from a web page, a chat window, or a document often turns the two hyphens into a single dash, and Claude Code rejects the result. If the first command fails, retype --sparse with two hyphens. :::

claude plugin list should show storeconnect.

Claude web, desktop, and mobile

There is no separate skills install. The skills arrive with the store connection, so follow Connect an AI agent to your store instead of this article.

Codex and ChatGPT

```bash

codex plugin marketplace add GetStoreConnect/ai –ref main codex plugin add storeconnect@storeconnect-ai codex plugin list ```

The package works in Codex CLI, the ChatGPT desktop app, and ChatGPT web in Work mode. Codex IDE integrations do not read it, so use the open skills format there.

Start a new Codex session after installing, so Codex discovers the skills.

GitHub Copilot CLI

```bash

copilot plugin marketplace add GetStoreConnect/ai copilot plugin install storeconnect@storeconnect-ai copilot plugin list ```

In an interactive session, run /agent and /skills list to confirm the specialist agents and skills loaded.

Cursor

Cursor’s package lives at providers/cursor/storeconnect in the repository, and Cursor installs it from a local checkout rather than from a marketplace URL. Clone the repository, then start the Cursor Agent CLI with the package directory:

```bash

git clone –depth 1 https://github.com/GetStoreConnect/ai.git storeconnect-ai cd storeconnect-ai agent –plugin-dir ./providers/cursor/storeconnect ```

That loads the package for that one session, which is the right choice when you want to try it. For a permanent install in your own project, use the open skills format instead: it gives you the skills without the specialist agents and commands.

Gemini CLI

Install the extension straight from the repository URL. Gemini reads it from the latest StoreConnect AI release, which packages the extension for you:

```bash

gemini extensions install https://github.com/GetStoreConnect/ai gemini extensions list ```

In a Gemini session, run /agents list to see the specialist agents the extension loaded.

:::note Google routes personal free, Google AI Pro, and Google AI Ultra accounts to Antigravity CLI. Use the Gemini CLI package only for Gemini Code Assist Standard or Enterprise, Google Cloud, and paid-key setups. On a personal account, follow the Google Antigravity section instead. :::

Google Antigravity

For Antigravity CLI, install the native plugin from a checkout:

```bash

git clone –depth 1 https://github.com/GetStoreConnect/ai.git storeconnect-ai cd storeconnect-ai agy plugin install ./providers/antigravity/storeconnect agy plugin list ```

In a session, run /skills to confirm the skills loaded.

For Antigravity 2.0 and the IDE, install the skills at workspace scope instead. Run this from your project root, and keep the default project scope so the skills land in .agents/skills/:

```bash

npx skills add GetStoreConnect/ai -a antigravity ```

Kiro

Kiro reads the open skills format, so there is no separate package to install. Run this from your project root:

```bash

npx skills add GetStoreConnect/ai –agent kiro-cli –skill ‘*’ –copy ```

Kiro’s built-in agents and CLI custom agents load workspace skills by default. If your workspace sets chat.disableInheritingDefaultResources, add skill://.kiro/skills/**/SKILL.md as an explicit resource on each custom agent that needs the skills.

Grok Build

Install StoreConnect from the xAI plugin marketplace. The specialist agents and commands come with it.

To install the skills alone into one project, note that Grok discovers project skills at ./.grok/skills/ and does not scan .agents/skills/, so copy them across:

```bash

git clone –depth 1 https://github.com/GetStoreConnect/ai.git storeconnect-ai mkdir -p .grok/skills cp -R storeconnect-ai/providers/grok/storeconnect/skills/. .grok/skills/ ```

Run grok inspect to confirm what loaded.

Install with the open skills format

Use this for any product not listed above, and for the products whose table row names it. Run it from the root of the project you want the skills in:

```bash

npx skills add GetStoreConnect/ai ```

The command installs the skill folders from the repository’s root skills/ catalog. It does not install a provider plugin, connect an MCP server, or store any credential.

Confirm the skills loaded

1. Start a new session in your AI product, so it picks up the newly installed skills.
2. Ask the assistant “Which StoreConnect skills do you have available?” or “How do theme templates reach my storefront?”.
3. Check the answer names the storeconnect-* skills, or answers with specifics such as s_c__Theme_Template__c records and cache versions.

A generic answer about generic ecommerce means the skills did not load. Start a fresh session and check you ran the install from the project you are working in.

Most products also give you a direct check:

AI product	Check
Claude Code	claude plugin list
Codex and ChatGPT	codex plugin list
GitHub Copilot CLI	copilot plugin list, then /agent and /skills list in a session
Gemini CLI	gemini extensions list, then /agents list in a session
Google Antigravity CLI	agy plugin list, then /skills in a session
Grok Build	grok inspect
Kiro	Confirm the .kiro/skills/ folder exists in your project
Open skills format	Confirm the skills folder exists in your project

What the skills cover

Skill	What it helps with
storeconnect-platform	How StoreConnect fits together, and which skill to reach for
storeconnect-liquid	Liquid, the template language behind your storefront pages
storeconnect-theme-development	Theme structure, layouts, styling, and assets
storeconnect-theme-review	A read-only health check: accessibility, SEO, speed, content gaps
storeconnect-forms	Storefront forms, their fields, and validation
storeconnect-components	Live-updating parts of a page, such as cart drawers and filters
storeconnect-controllers	Server-side logic while a page renders: redirects, access rules, custom form handling
storeconnect-debug-performance	Working out why a page is slow or showing the wrong thing
storeconnect-salesforce-data	The StoreConnect object model in Salesforce, and data work
storeconnect-sync-deploy	Getting changes onto a store safely, in the right order
storeconnect-apex-integration	Custom Apex for StoreConnect stores
storeconnect-pos-setup	Point of sale setup: outlets, registers, staff, payments, hardware
storeconnect-pos-customization	POS screens, buttons, receipts, and labels

Specialist agents

Five packages add specialist agents, which are focused assistants you hand a whole job to rather than a single question.

Agent	What it does
sc-store-designer	Plans a new store or a major redesign, and sets a safe order of work
sc-theme-developer	Builds Liquid templates, theme assets, forms, components, and styling
sc-theme-reviewer	Audits a storefront read-only and reports ranked findings, changing nothing
sc-salesforce-manager	Works with StoreConnect records: content, catalog, theme, and configuration data
sc-pos-developer	Configures and extends point of sale, from outlets and registers to layouts and printing

Ready-made commands

Three packages also add commands for the procedures that should never be improvised.

Command	What it does
sc-auth	Connects to one store and confirms which store, which environment, and who you are signed in as
sc-publish	Walks a change through review, your explicit approval, submission, and a live check afterwards
sc-theme-review	Runs the read-only theme audit and reports ranked findings

Keep the skills up to date

Packages installed through a product’s plugin system update themselves. Skills installed with the open skills format do not, so re-run the updater from your project root periodically:

```bash

npx skills update ```

:::tip The skills work entirely offline and never touch a store. If you later connect an assistant to your store over MCP, keep the skills installed: the connection provides the ability to act, and the skills provide the judgment about how to act safely. :::
