WordPress Meta Skills

Skills that extend CMS Cultivator with additional WordPress-specific tooling from other sources.

Available Skills

wp-add-skills

Purpose: Install the official WordPress/agent-skills collection from the WordPress org's GitHub repository. These are WordPress-specific skills authored by the core WordPress team — block development, REST API helpers, WP-CLI workflows, Playground, Interactivity API, performance, accessibility, and more.

Auto-invoked triggers: "add WordPress skills", "install the official WordPress agent-skills", "expand CMS Cultivator with WordPress tooling".

Workflow:

  1. Confirms the install target (global ~/.claude/skills/ or repo-scoped .claude/skills/)
  2. Clones or updates WordPress/agent-skills from GitHub
  3. Symlinks (or copies, depending on preference) each skill into the chosen target
  4. Lists the newly-available skills

Options:

  • --list — Show currently installed WordPress skills
  • --update — Update installed skills to the latest version from the WordPress repo
  • --scope=global|project — Choose install scope (default: global)

What it installs:

The full WordPress/agent-skills catalog, which currently includes skills for:

  • Block development (block.json, registration, attributes, dynamic rendering)
  • Block themes (theme.json, template parts, patterns, style variations)
  • REST API (route registration, controllers, schemas, permissions)
  • WP-CLI workflows
  • WordPress Playground
  • Interactivity API
  • WordPress Design System (WPDS)
  • Abilities API
  • PHPStan for WordPress
  • Plugin development
  • Performance investigation
  • Project triage

The exact list updates as the WordPress team adds skills upstream.

Why This Skill Exists

CMS Cultivator's own skills are CMS-platform-neutral where possible (PR workflows, design-to-code, FRD planning, PM workflows, etc.) — they work on Drupal and WordPress alike.

For deep WordPress-specific tooling — Gutenberg block internals, theme.json semantics, REST API patterns — the WordPress core team maintains its own agent-skills repository. Rather than duplicate that work, wp-add-skills makes those skills available alongside CMS Cultivator's skills with one command.

You don't need this skill if you're not doing deep WordPress work. CMS Cultivator's built-in design-to-wp-block and other WP-aware skills cover the common cases.
