Setup & Installation
What This Skill Does
Inspects a WordPress repository and outputs a structured JSON report describing the project kind, tooling, tests, and version hints. Works with plugins, themes, block themes, WP core, Gutenberg, and full-site editing setups. Use it to orient an agent before making changes.
Running the detector gives you a machine-readable project map in one command, instead of manually grepping for composer.json, theme.json, and plugin headers across an unfamiliar repo.
When to use it
- Running project triage before modifying an unfamiliar WordPress plugin
- Detecting whether a repo uses block themes or classic themes before writing PHP
- Checking which PHP and Node tooling is present before running build commands
- Identifying test suites in a WP repo to set up CI guardrails
- Re-triaging a repo after adding theme.json or block.json to catch structural changes
