What it does
Once installed, the agent works like a WordPress developer. It follows WordPress coding standards when writing themes, plugins, custom Gutenberg blocks, WooCommerce customizations and REST API endpoints, and applies security practices such as nonces, input sanitization, output escaping, capability checks and prepared database queries. It also suggests caching and query tuning for performance. Reference notes on themes, plugins, blocks, hooks and performance are loaded as needed.
Great for
- WordPress developers who want faster, more consistent code for themes and plugins
- Agencies building or customizing WooCommerce stores
- Developers adding Gutenberg blocks or REST API endpoints to an existing site
Skip it if
- Non-developers who want a finished website without reading or running code, because the skill produces code that must be reviewed and tested
- Production sites changed without a staging copy and backups, because generated code may not match the installed WordPress or plugin versions
Try asking
- “Create a custom Gutenberg block with an editable heading and a background colour setting”
- “Write a plugin that adds a secure contact form with nonce checks and sanitized saving”
- “Add a REST API endpoint that returns my WooCommerce products with capability checks”
- “Find performance problems in my WordPress theme's database queries and suggest caching”
