wordpress-router
Use when the user asks about WordPress codebases (plugins, themes, block themes, Gutenberg blocks, WP core checkouts) and you need to quickly classify the repo and route to the correct workflow/skill (blocks, theme.json, REST API, WP-CLI, performance, security, testing, release packaging).

Review the result
The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.
SKILL.md
The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.
WordPress Router
When to use
Use this skill at the start of most WordPress tasks to:
- identify what kind of WordPress codebase this is (plugin vs theme vs block theme vs WP core checkout vs full site),
- pick the right workflow and guardrails,
- delegate to the most relevant domain skill(s).
Inputs required
- Repo root (current working directory).
- The user’s intent (what they want changed) and any constraints (WP version targets, WP.com specifics, release requirements).
Procedure
- Run the project triage script:
node skills/wp-project-triage/scripts/detect_wp_project.mjs
- Read the triage output and classify:
- primary project kind(s),
- tooling available (PHP/Composer, Node, @wordpress/scripts),
- tests present (PHPUnit, Playwright, wp-env),
- any version hints.
- Route to domain workflows based on user intent + repo kind:
- For the decision tree, read:
skills/wordpress-router/references/decision-tree.md.
- For the decision tree, read:
- Apply guardrails before making changes:
- Confirm any version constraints if unclear.
- Prefer the repo’s existing tooling and conventions for builds/tests.
Verification
- Re-run the triage script if you create or restructure significant files.
- Run the repo’s lint/test/build commands that the triage output recommends (if available).
Failure modes / debugging
- If triage reports
kind: unknown, inspect:- root
composer.json,package.json,style.css,block.json,theme.json,wp-content/.
- root
- If the repo is huge, consider narrowing scanning scope or adding ignore rules to the triage script.
Escalation
- If routing is ambiguous, ask one question:
- “Is this intended to be a WordPress plugin, a theme (classic/block), or a full site repo?”

Use for plain verbatim captions, cinematic captions embedded behind the subject, VFX captions, “炸/特效/酷炫字幕,” or a named identity from the 35-style catalog.
