WordPress/agent-skills

What it solves

AI coding assistants often generate outdated WordPress code, miss security requirements, or ignore modern block-based development patterns. This project provides a structured way to give these assistants expert-level knowledge of current WordPress best practices so they stop guessing and start following official standards.

How it works

It provides "Agent Skills"—portable bundles consisting of Markdown instructions (SKILL.md), deep-dive reference documents, and deterministic helper scripts. These bundles can be installed either globally (available across all projects for a specific user) or at the project level (committed to a repository for team-wide use). AI assistants like Claude, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot read these files to guide their coding and verification processes.

Who it’s for

WordPress developers who use AI coding assistants and want to ensure the generated code follows modern Gutenberg, block theme, and plugin security standards.

Highlights

• Comprehensive Skill Library: Includes specialized modules for block development, REST API, Interactivity API, performance profiling, and PHPStan static analysis.
• Multi-Assistant Support: Compatible with various AI tools including Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and OpenAI Codex.
• Flexible Installation: Supports one-command installation via npx or manual setup for global or project-specific scopes.
• Community Driven: Skills are written primarily in Markdown, allowing non-coding experts to contribute best practices.
