What it does

“Use when the user asks about WordPress codebases (plugins, themes, block themes, Gutenberg blocks, WP core checkouts) and you need to quickly classify the repo and route to the correct workflow/skill (blocks, theme.json, REST API, WP-CLI, performance, security, testing, release packaging).”

The author's description, from SKILL.md

Generated summary from the skill's own text

This skill classifies WordPress repository types and routes the agent to appropriate workflows. It runs a triage script to identify whether the codebase is a plugin, theme, block theme, or core checkout, then recommends the relevant domain skills and guardrails for the user's task.

When to use it

Starting work on WordPress plugin, theme, or block theme repos
Determining which specialized workflow applies to a task
Setting up correct tooling and test environment for WordPress code

When not to

Working with non-WordPress PHP or Node projects
When the repo type is already confirmed and routing decided
