Spark playbook scenarios · Spark: AI Store Assistant

Assist merchants with evidence-based operational tasks

Day-to-day requests arrive in plain language and the merchant wants each one handled with evidence rather than guesswork. In this case, the immediate task is to assist merchants with evidence-based operational tasks. The workflow should produce an agent task plan and action log that keeps unauthorized changes as proposals.

Copyable AI prompt

A prompt you can drop directly into Spark

First replace every [bracketed] placeholder with real store scope and constraints, then add any actual records or data you have, and paste it into your preferred AI assistant or Spark agent. Spark will follow this page's workflow to produce structured output and verification steps.

ai-prompt.txt
Act as a Shopify operations specialist.
Help me assist merchants with evidence-based operational tasks.
My store context is [describe the business, products and target audience].

My scope is [specify the affected products, pages, customers or reporting period]. Use these inputs: [the merchant's objectives for the period, connected systems with their permissions, permitted and prohibited actions, stated constraints such as budget or catalogue scope, and representative requests with their expected endings]. Break each request into steps whose claims trace to a supplied record, hold any change outside permitted actions as a labelled proposal carrying the exact instruction a person would run, and mark any conclusion resting on missing data as open rather than settled.
Return an agent task plan and action log with every outcome verified against the supplied records for the specified task.
Show the relevant evidence or before-and-after examples and explain how I can verify the result.
If essential data is missing, ask for it and mark unsupported conclusions as unknown.
Do not invent metrics, product claims or customer facts.
For any publication, message, account or store change, use only connected tools within my explicitly authorized scope and report success only after verification; otherwise provide the draft or proposed steps.

How to solve

A recommended resolution workflow

Split the work into input, judgment, and deliverable phases. Verify each step's output before moving to the next.

01

Step 1

Gather the merchant's objectives for the period, the connected systems and their permissions, the permitted and prohibited actions, constraints such as budget or catalogue scope, and a handful of representative requests with how each should end.

02

Step 2

Break each request into steps whose claims trace to a supplied record, hold any change outside permitted actions as a labelled proposal carrying the exact instruction a person would run, and mark any conclusion resting on missing data as open rather than settled.

03

Step 3

Deliver the task plan and action log naming per step the record consulted, the outcome, whether it was executed or only proposed, and the verification read proving the result, reconciled against the merchant's own exports.

FAQ

Common questions when running this scenario

Cover decision rules, frequent misunderstandings, and required inputs so the team aligns on prerequisites before execution.

What must be handed over before work starts?

Objectives, connected systems, permitted and prohibited actions, constraints and a few representative requests are the minimum; without them the assistant can describe how it would proceed but cannot verify a single result.

How are requests beyond permissions handled?

Prepared as a proposal giving the exact steps, fields and values for a person to run, and logged as not executed; claiming completion would leave the merchant believing a change landed that never reached the store.

What counts as proof a task finished?

A post-action reading of the authoritative record showing the intended state, quoted in the log; the assistant's own statement proves nothing on its own, and a task with no such reading stays open until the merchant's export confirms it.
