View on GitHubWhat This Skill Does
Handles WordPress operational tasks via WP-CLI: database exports and imports, URL and domain migrations with search-replace, plugin and theme management, cron inspection, cache flushing, and multisite operations. Supports scripting repeatable workflows with wp-cli.yml and shell scripts.
WP-CLI operations like search-replace on serialized data or multisite targeting are easy to misfire manually, and this skill enforces the backup-dry-run-execute sequence with correct flags every time.
When to use it
- Running a safe domain migration with dry-run search-replace before writing to the database
- Exporting and importing the database during a staging-to-production push
- Installing and activating plugins across a WordPress multisite network
- Listing and manually triggering cron events to debug a stuck scheduled task
- Building a wp-cli.yml config to lock in default paths for CI deployment jobs
