Build with Sidekick

Sidekick prompt library for Manifest

Ready-made prompts for building a Manifest store, grouped by job. Copy one, change the words to yours, check what Sidekick did, and save.

WhereSidekick in your Shopify admin or the theme editor, as each prompt says.

Each prompt says where to use it. Words in capitals, such as PRODUCT, are for you to change. Sidekick fills in and you save: read the purple fields before you click Save. In the theme editor, three habits matter most: say "the theme's … section", click what you mean first, and save a new section before asking for its blocks. See Customize Manifest with Sidekick in the theme editor.

Get started

Theme editor

Walk me through Manifest's Theme settings one group at a time, and tell me what each one changes.
