Shopify app & theme engineering team — agents (shopify-app-architect, shopify-app-engineer) answering 'how do we build this on Shopify correctly, within the platform's rules, and so it survives review and scale?': public vs custom app choice, the Admin GraphQL API + webhooks + App Bridge/Polaris embedded model, OAuth & session tokens, Shopify Functions (discounts/checkout) replacing script tags, checkout extensibility & extensions, theme/Online Store 2.0 (Liquid, sections, metafields) vs Hydrogen/Storefront API headless, billing API, rate limits (GraphQL cost-based throttling), and webhook/data-protection + App Store review requirements. Engineering judgment, not a benchmark; Shopify's APIs/versions/review rules are volatile — every version carries a retrieval date + [verify-at-use]. Distinct from ecommerce-dtc (merchandising/retention ops), web-commerce (generic payment scaffold), frontend-engineering (generic React), and web-design (visual/IA). Needs ravenclaude-core.
