Native English speakers, could you please help me with these issues?
Is 'shirtless' a standard word?
For instance, would it be correct:
"He walks shirtless all day at home."

Yes, but we'd say, "He walks AROUND shirtless all day at home."

The US definition is identical:

It is fine. What seems strange is that someone should walk all day when they are at home, regardless of their déshabillé.

Yes, it's a standard word but your sentence is oddly phrased.
"He is shirtless all day at home" would be better.

Your sentence is correct.
