Agent Skills for WordPress is a collection of instructions, checklists and scripts that give an AI coding assistant expert-level knowledge of WordPress development conventions, aiming to stop assistants from generating outdated pre-block-theme patterns, missing security considerations, or skipping proper block deprecations.
Individual skills cover classifying a WordPress repository and routing to the right workflow, Gutenberg block and block theme development, plugin architecture and the settings API, the REST API and the newer Abilities API for capability-based permissions with matching audit and verification skills, WP-CLI automation and multisite operations, performance profiling and caching, PHPStan static analysis configured for WordPress typing, and using WordPress Playground.
The skills were generated from official Gutenberg and WordPress documentation using an AI coding model, then reviewed and edited by WordPress contributors, and are published with an explicit AI-authorship disclosure. It is written mainly in JavaScript.
