Purpose
If your robots.txt doesn't address the AI crawlers by name — or worse, disallows them — assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity may never read your store, so you simply don't exist to AI shoppers. Shopify generates robots.txt from a theme template (templates/robots.txt.liquid); this skill reads that template and appends explicit allow rules for the major AI user-agents (with a clear, idempotent managed block) so foundational models and AI search are permitted to crawl your pages. Fixes the agentiq.report finding robots-ai-rules.
