plugin-creator

Create or update a custom WordPress plugin for site functionality that should not live in a theme or a block. Use when the user needs reusable behavior, admin/settings UI, hooks, REST endpoints, scheduled tasks, integrations, or server-side logic for a Studio-backed site.

Quality

Content

86%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A concise, well-structured instruction skill with a clear sequenced workflow and concrete tool-call anchors. Adding a minimal plugin header snippet and an explicit verify-and-fix loop would push actionability and workflow clarity higher.

Suggestions

Include a minimal copy-paste plugin header example so the main-file step is fully executable.

Add an explicit feedback loop after step 8 (if verification fails, diagnose via `studio`/`wp_cli` and re-verify) to strengthen workflow clarity.

Optionally show the concrete `wp_cli` activation command (e.g., `wp plugin activate <slug>`) rather than only naming the tool.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Lean body (~30 lines) with no concept padding; it assumes Claude knows what plugins are and every line carries instruction, though the opening trigger line lightly echoes the frontmatter.

5 / 5

Actionability

Gives concrete, executable anchors — `record_workflow_event` with specific workflow/stage values, the `<site-path>/wp-content/plugins/<slug>/` path, and delegations to `studio`/`wp_cli` — but omits a copy-paste plugin header example and specific wp_cli commands.

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

A clear 9-step sequence with a verify step ("Activate and verify through `studio`") and lifecycle event bookends, but no explicit feedback loop (verify-fails → fix → retry) is described.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

A simple, single-purpose skill under 50 lines with no bundle files and no external references needed; the Ownership/Workflow/Guardrails sections are well-organized and self-contained.

Description

92%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A strong, specific description that clearly distinguishes plugin work from theme/block work and provides explicit trigger guidance. It could add a few common synonyms (cron, shortcode, .php) to widen natural trigger coverage.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple concrete capabilities — "reusable behavior, admin/settings UI, hooks, REST endpoints, scheduled tasks, integrations, or server-side logic" — giving comprehensive coverage of what a plugin can do.

5 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly states both the "what" ("Create or update a custom WordPress plugin...") and the "when" ("Use when the user needs reusable behavior..."), with concrete trigger phrases.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Good natural keyword coverage ("WordPress plugin", "admin/settings UI", "hooks", "REST endpoints", "scheduled tasks", "integrations"), but misses common synonyms users say like "cron", "shortcode", or the ".php" extension.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The carve-out "should not live in a theme or a block" and "Studio-backed site" establish a clear niche with minimal overlap risk against theme or block skills.
