What it does

“Use when you need a deterministic inspection of a WordPress repository (plugin/theme/block theme/WP core/Gutenberg/full site) including tooling/tests/version hints, and a structured JSON report to guide workflows and guardrails.”

The author's description, from SKILL.md

Generated summary from the skill's own text

This skill analyzes a WordPress repository to detect its type, tooling, and testing setup, returning structured JSON that guides subsequent workflows. It identifies whether the codebase is a plugin, theme, block theme, WordPress core, Gutenberg, or full site installation by scanning filesystem markers and configuration files. The agent uses this intelligence to select appropriate commands and conventions before making changes.

When to use it

Starting work in an unfamiliar WordPress repository
Determining which build tools and test frameworks are available
Understanding project structure before making code changes
Detecting WordPress version and PHP compatibility requirements

When not to

When you already know the project type and tooling
For live WordPress sites that require WP-CLI database operations
Analyzing codebases outside WordPress ecosystem
