Clean Up Product Titles

/bulk-titles  Finds inconsistent product titles, proposes a naming pattern, and applies it in bulk only after you approve the list.

Add to Sidekick

Add opens your Shopify admin with the skill prefilled; review it there and click Add. If nothing appears, use Copy and follow the steps below.

The skill

Suggested shortcut: /bulk-titles
Audit and standardize my product titles.

## Steps
1. List all active products with their titles, product type and vendor. Group titles that describe the same kind of product.
2. Find inconsistencies: mixed capitalisation, trailing sizes or colours that belong in variants, vendor names repeated, symbols, duplicate words, titles over 70 characters.
3. Propose one naming pattern for the store, for example "Product name - Key attribute" and show it applied to 5 real titles.
4. Produce a full table of proposed changes: current title, new title, reason. Products that already fit the pattern are not listed.
5. Ask for approval. Only after a clear yes, apply the renames in bulk. Do not touch handles, URLs, descriptions or variants.

## Output
The pattern, the sample of 5, then the full change table and the question "Apply these renames?"

Never rename a product whose title contains a trademark or licensed name without flagging it separately. Keep the URL handle unchanged so links keep working.
How to add it to Sidekick
  1. Click Add to Sidekick above. Your Shopify admin opens with the skill ready to review. Click Add. Done.
  2. If the button does nothing in your store: click Copy skill, open Sidekick in your admin, type /, choose Create new skill, name the shortcut bulk-titles, paste the text as the instructions, and save.
  3. To run it, type /bulk-titles in Sidekick. Sidekick keeps up to 25 skills; manage yours from the skills menu.

What you get

A clean, consistent catalog in one pass, with the safety of reviewing every rename before it happens. Handles stay the same so search rankings and links are unaffected.

When to use it

After importing from a supplier, merging catalogs, or when the collection pages look messy.

Variations

  • “Only products in the [collection] collection” to work in batches.
  • “Move colour and size out of titles into variant options” for stores that imported flattened products.

Limits

Bulk renames on stores with thousands of products may run as a background task. Check the products list afterwards.

Status: Written for Sidekick but not yet run on a live store. Results may need a second prompt. Time saved: about 1 hour / cleanup.
