Kobold Help

Kobold Help

Ask for a change to your Shopify theme in plain words. Kobold plans it, builds it on a copy of your theme, tests it, and waits for your yes.

Kobold is a team of three agents that make code changes to your Shopify theme: a discount field in the cart drawer, a free-shipping bar, a size-guide popup, a countdown in the announcement bar. Every change is planned, built on a copy of your live theme, tested, and shown to you before anything goes live.

The short version

  1. Ask. Describe the change the way you'd tell a colleague.
  2. Plan. Pip asks what it needs to know and writes a plan with a credit estimate.
  3. Build on a copy. Nib builds on a duplicate of your theme, named like kobold-0412. Your live theme stays untouched.
  4. QA. Moss runs Theme Check, a visual diff at 390 and 1440px, scripted clicks, a checkout smoke test and Lighthouse. Only a pass moves on.
  5. Approve. You see the before and after and approve with one click.
  6. Live. Kobold publishes the copy. Rollback stays one click away for 30 days.
