      questions:
      - What sizes, colors and other variants does one of my Shopify products have?
      - Can I page through a product's variants with a limit and a since_id cursor?
      - Which fields can I restrict the variant list to so the response stays small?
      instructions:
      - text: List all variants of product {product_id}.

      questions:
      - How do I add a new size or color option as a variant on an existing product?
      - Can I create another variant for a product that is already listed?
      instructions:
      - text: Add variant {variant} to product {product_id}.
        slots:
          variant: requestBody.variant
