Collection Descriptions

/collection-copy  Writes a short, useful description for a collection based on the products actually in it, and applies it after approval.

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.

Personalize before you add

Values come from your store profile when set. Leave a field blank to keep the placeholder and fill it in Sidekick.

The skill

Suggested shortcut: /collection-copy
Write a description for the [COLLECTION] collection.

## Steps
1. Open the collection and read its title, current description and the first 20 products: names, types, price range, common materials or features.
2. Write 60 to 110 words that say who the collection is for, what is in it, the price range in the store's currency, and one reason to buy from this store (shipping, returns, made-to-order, etc.) taken from store policies.
3. Write an SEO title under 60 characters and a meta description under 155 characters.
4. Show the draft and ask whether to apply it. Only after a clear yes, update the collection description and SEO fields.

## Output
The description, the two SEO fields with character counts, then "Apply this to the collection?"

Do not list every product. Do not use "curated", "elevate" or "premium". If the collection has fewer than 3 products, say so instead of writing copy.
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 collection-copy, paste the text as the instructions, and save.
  3. To run it, type /collection-copy in Sidekick. Sidekick keeps up to 25 skills; manage yours from the skills menu.

What you get

Collection pages that explain themselves, which helps both shoppers and search engines. Sidekick writes from the real products, so the copy stays accurate as long as the collection does.

When to use it

Any collection with an empty description, and every new collection you create for a campaign.

Variations

  • “Write it for all collections with empty descriptions, one at a time, and ask after each” for a full pass.
  • “Add a 3-question FAQ under the description” for larger categories.

Limits

Automated collections change over time; re-run this when the rules or products change significantly.

Status: Written for Sidekick but not yet run on a live store. Results may need a second prompt. Time saved: about 15 min / collection.
