WordPress AI Agent Skills

A collection of Agent Skills for professional WordPress development. These skills ensure your AI coding agent — whether it’s Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, Antigravity, GitHub Copilot, Codex, or any other — follows official WordPress coding standards, security best practices, accessibility requirements (WCAG 2.1 AA), and WordPress.org directory guidelines when building plugins and themes, or reviewing existing plugins for security vulnerabilities and repository readiness.

🎯 What Are Agent Skills?

Agent Skills are an open standard for extending AI agents with specialized capabilities. A skill is simply a folder containing a SKILL.md file (with YAML frontmatter + instructions) and optional supporting files like references/, scripts/, and assets/.

All major AI coding tools now support the same skills format natively:

Write once, use everywhere. Skills you create for one tool work across all tools that support the standard.

📦 Included Skills

1. wp-plugin-dev — WordPress Plugin Development

Guides your AI agent to build production-ready WordPress plugins with proper architecture and security.

Triggers when you say things like:

• “Build me a plugin for X”
• “Create a WordPress plugin”
• “I need a WooCommerce extension”
• “Add a REST API endpoint”

What it enforces:

• Clean bootstrap — Main plugin file contains only constants, hooks, and autoloading. No feature logic.
• Modular architecture — Every feature gets its own class file (includes/, admin/, public/, api/)
