Description
Summary
validate.mjs can't run because required @shopify/theme-check-* dependencies are missing at runtime, and npm install fails because package-lock.json resolves those packages to Shopify's private registry.
Steps to reproduce
- Install plugin via Claude Code marketplace
- Trigger the
shopify-liquidskill - Skill runs
validate.mjs, which fails
What it looks like in Claude Code
The skill instructs the AI to validate every code block via validate.mjs. This is what happens:
⏺ Bash(cd skills/shopify-liquid && node scripts/validate.mjs --filename test.liquid --filetype sections --code '...')
⎿ Exit code 1
Error [ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND]: Cannot find package '@shopify/theme-check-common'
The AI then tries npm install to fix it, which also fails, creating a loop of broken validation attempts.
Actual behavior
$ node scripts/validate.mjs --filename test.liquid --filetype sections --code '<div>test</div>'
Error [ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND]: Cannot find package '@shopify/theme-check-common'
imported from skills/shopify-liquid/scripts/validate.mjs
npm install also fails:
$ cd skills/shopify-liquid && npm install
npm error code E401
npm error Incorrect or missing password.
package-lock.json points all @shopify/* packages to the private registry:
@shopify/theme-check-node@https://npm.shopify.io/node/...
@shopify/theme-check-common@https://npm.shopify.io/node/...
@shopify/liquid-html-parser@https://npm.shopify.io/node/...
@shopify/theme-check-docs-updater@https://npm.shopify.io/node/...

Research direction
Start with skills/shopify-liquid/scripts/validate.mjs and skills/shopify-liquid/package-lock.json, then reproduce the documented node command and npm install failure. Trace how the @shopify/theme-check-* dependencies are resolved; done means validate.mjs can run for the shown example without a private-registry authentication failure.
