Expert-level WordPress knowledge for AI coding assistants - blocks, themes, plugins, and best practices

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AI coding assistants often generate outdated WordPress code, miss security requirements, or ignore modern block-based development patterns.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 standardized way to give these assistants expert-level knowledge of current WordPress best practices, preventing common errors like "Invalid block" messages and outdated plugin architectures.

How it works

It provides "Agent Skills," which are portable bundles containing Markdown instructions, deep-dive references, and deterministic scripts. These bundles can be installed globally (across all projects) or locally within a specific repository. When an AI assistant (such as Claude, Cursor, or GitHub Copilot) accesses the project, it reads these skills to follow documented procedures instead of relying on general training data.

Who it’s for

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

Highlights

  • Comprehensive Skill Library: Includes specialized modules for block development, plugin architecture, REST API, Interactivity API, and performance optimization.
  • Flexible Installation: Supports global installation for individual developers or project-level installation for team-wide consistency via version control.
  • Cros-Assistant Compatibility: Designed to work with various AI tools including Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and OpenAI Codex.
  • Tooling Integration: Includes skills for WP-CLI, PHPStan static analysis, and WordPress Playground.
