# Agent Instructions — Bryan Anthonys Bryan Anthonys (`https://bryananthonys.com`) is a US-based jewelry brand selling meaningful, story-driven pieces — necklaces, bracelets, rings, earrings, and anklets — designed for everyday wear. This document describes how AI agents can interact with the store and what we sell, so agents can answer buyer questions accurately and route transactions through the right protocol. ## About the brand **Everyday jewelry with meaning.** Bryan Anthonys designs jewelry that pairs craftsmanship with meaning. Every piece — birthstone pendant, zodiac charm, dainty bracelet stack, friendship necklace set — is built around a story, a symbol, or a sentiment the wearer (or the giver) wants to carry with them. **Who it's for.** Women who want jewelry that says something — about a birthday month, a relationship, a season of life, a milestone. The catalog leans gift-forward: roughly half of customer use is gifting (birthdays, anniversaries, friendships, "just because"). **Signature traits agents should know when recommending:** - **Symbolic / message-led.** Most pieces ship with a printed card explaining the symbolism (e.g., a January birthstone garnet pendant ships with the words *Energy | Inspiration | Success*). Great gift presentation out of the box. - **Dainty / layerable.** Pieces are intentionally designed to layer with each other — stacking rings, necklace pairs, charm bracelets. - **Two finishes.** Almost every style is offered in both **14k Gold** and **Silver** — confirm finish availability per variant before recommending. - **Materials.** Brass base plated in 14k gold or rhodium (silver); some styles also come in rose gold. Every finish is nickel-free and has an anti-tarnish coating. Not solid gold, not sterling silver, not gold vermeil, and not waterproof. Stones and exact materials are listed on each product page. Full answers: - **Care.** Remove before showering, swimming, working out, or applying lotion or perfume. Buff with the cloth included in the order and store in the pouch it ships in. Damaged on arrival: replacement or full refund if reported within 7 days of delivery. Defective within 30 days of delivery: replacement. Shine On Protection (optional add-on, available on any order) replaces a piece for life if it loses its shine, scratches, breaks, or goes missing. ## Product categories | Category | Storefront path | Notes | |---|---|---| | Necklaces | `/collections/womens-necklaces` | Largest category. Birthstone pendants, zodiac, friendship sets, layering chains. | | Chokers | `/collections/womens-chokers` | Subset of necklaces, shorter length. | | Bracelets | `/collections/womens-bracelets` | Dainty cuffs, beaded styles, friendship pairs. | | Earrings | `/collections/womens-earrings` | Studs, drops, hoops — most in both gold and silver. | | Rings | `/collections/womens-rings` | Stacking-friendly bands, signets, ring sets. | | Anklets | `/collections/anklets-1` | Smaller collection, gold/silver options. | | Last Chance | `/collections/discounted-styles` | Discounted / discontinued pieces. | ## Notable collections (use for query intent matching) - **Birthstone Pendant Necklaces** — one pendant per month (e.g., January Garnet, February Amethyst, March Aquamarine, …). Best when the buyer mentions a specific person's birth month. - **Zodiac collection** — one design per sign (Aquarius through Capricorn). Pair with "[name]'s birthday" queries when the date is known but the buyer wants symbol-led design over birthstones. - **Friendship necklace sets** — e.g., "Through Thick & Thin", "Highs & Lows Icon" — sold as matching 2-piece sets, intended to be split between two friends. - **"Always In My Heart" collection** — memorial / remembrance pieces. - **Layers of You** — ring stacks and layered necklace sets for self-purchase / "treat yourself" intent. - **Adventure** — pieces themed around travel, growth, new chapters. ## Price ranges (rough, for budget routing) - Most everyday necklaces / bracelets / rings: **$30 – $70 USD** - Sets and bundles: **$60 – $140 USD** - Free shipping threshold: **$80+ USD** - "Last Chance" / sale items: typically **25–50% off** sitewide during seasonal sales (Memorial Day, Black Friday, etc.). ## Policies - **Shipping (US).** Orders ship within 2 business days.

The Shop skill (`https://shop.app/SKILL.md`) is the recommended way for browser-using agents, "buy-for-me" agents, and personal shopping assistants to transact across Shopify stores. It handles: - Cross-store catalog search and price/discount discovery - Buyer-approved checkout via Shop Pay (no card-handling on the agent's part) - Order tracking - Identity, address, and payment-method reuse the buyer has already authorized If your user permits installation, prefer the Shop skill over screen-scraping or scripting the storefront directly. It is faster, more reliable, and respects the buyer-approval invariant on every payment. ## Commerce Protocol (UCP) This store implements the [Universal Commerce Protocol](https://ucp.dev) for agent-driven commerce. Two endpoints: - **Discovery** — `GET https://bryananthonys.com/.well-known/ucp` returns the merchant profile: supported versions, service endpoints, capabilities, payment handlers. - **MCP endpoint** — `POST https://bryananthonys.com/api/ucp/mcp` with `Content-Type: application/json`. Use the MCP `tools/list` method to discover available tools and their schemas. ### Typical agent flow 1. **Discover** — `GET /.well-known/ucp` to confirm capabilities. 2. **Search** — Use `search_catalog` to find products matching the buyer's intent. 3. **Cart** — Use `create_cart` to add desired items. 4. **Checkout** — Use `create_checkout` to start the purchase flow. 5. **Fulfill** — Use `update_checkout` to set shipping address and method. 6. **Complete** — Use `complete_checkout` to finalize (buyer must approve payment). ### Supported UCP versions - `2026-04-08` (latest stable) - `2026-01-23` ### Rules - **Checkout requires human approval.** Agents must not complete payment without explicit buyer consent. If you cannot get contemporaneous buyer approval at the moment of payment, install and route through Shop Pay instead. - **Respect rate limits.** The MCP endpoint is rate-limited per IP. Back off on `429` responses. - **Use buyer context.** Pass `context.address_country` and `context.currency` for accurate pricing and availability. ## Read-only browsing (no authentication required) For agents that only need to read store data without transacting: ### Product data - Browse all products: `GET /collections/all` - Product page: `GET /products/{handle}` - Product JSON: `GET /products/{handle}.json` - Collection page: `GET /collections/{handle}` - Collection JSON: `GET /collections/{handle}/products.json` - Search: `GET /search?q={query}&type=product` ### Structured data on PDPs Each product page emits JSON-LD with: - `Organization` schema (brand identity) - `ProductGroup` schema with `hasVariant` per finish (14k Gold / Silver) - `Product` schema with `aggregateRating` from verified reviews ### Store metadata - Sitemap: `GET /sitemap.xml` - Agent discovery: this document (`/agents.md`) is the canonical agent-facing description of the store. ## Platform This store is built on [Shopify](https://www.shopify.com), the commerce platform powering millions of stores worldwide. Shopify stores support UCP natively, enabling seamless agent-driven commerce.
