wp-patterns

Pattern: create or update WordPress block patterns (starter pages, templates, template parts, Query Loop layouts), review pattern registration, block markup, categories, accessibility, or i18n/escaping, or improve pattern design quality. Route custom blocks to wp-block-development; route frontend interactivity to wp-interactivity-api.

Quality

Content

85%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.

The body is a well-structured, lean overview with a clearly sequenced workflow, explicit validation checkpoints, and well-signaled one-level-deep references that all resolve to real files. It is slightly less concise and slightly less inline-actionable because detail and full markup examples are deferred to the reference bundle.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Lean, imperative style that assumes Claude's competence and avoids explaining WordPress/block concepts Claude already knows; minor instances that could be trimmed, such as the 12-item Failure modes list and the lengthy Inputs required section.

4 / 5

Actionability

Provides concrete commands (detect scripts, `npx @wp-playground/cli`, specific escaping functions) and a structural nesting-tree example, but the core 'write the pattern file' step defers complete executable markup to references rather than showing a full inline example.

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

Clear sequenced procedure (steps 0–5) with explicit '**Done when:**' checkpoints, two checklist validation gates (Design Quality, Technical Validation), a verification phase with feedback loops (block recovery prompts signal syntax errors), plus a debugging section for error recovery.

5 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

Clear overview/procedure that signals one-level-deep references via 'Read `references/...`' phrasing; all seven referenced files (design-with-tokens, pattern-registration, block-markup-reference, pattern-categories-and-types, visual-composition, anti-patterns, example-prompts) exist and detail is appropriately split out.

Description

75%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.

The description is specific and highly distinctive with explicit routing boundaries, but lacks an explicit "Use when..." trigger clause, which caps completeness at 3. Keyword coverage is strong though a few natural synonyms are missing.

Suggestions

Add an explicit 'Use when...' clause (e.g., 'Use when creating or reviewing WordPress block patterns, or when the user mentions starter pages, templates, template parts, or Query Loop layouts') to lift completeness above 3.

Include a few more natural trigger synonyms (e.g., 'block patterns', 'pattern library', '.php pattern files') to broaden trigger-term coverage.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple concrete actions — "create or update WordPress block patterns", "review pattern registration, block markup, categories, accessibility, or i18n/escaping", "improve pattern design quality" — with comprehensive coverage of pattern types (starter pages, templates, template parts, Query Loop layouts).

5 / 5

Completeness

Has a clear, comprehensive "what" but no explicit "Use when..." trigger clause, so "when" is only weakly implied — per the rubric a missing trigger clause caps completeness at 3.

3 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Good keyword coverage of natural domain terms ("block patterns", "starter pages", "templates", "template parts", "Query Loop", "block markup", "accessibility", "i18n/escaping") a WordPress user would say, though a few natural synonyms are absent.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Carves a clear niche (WordPress block patterns) and explicitly routes adjacent work away ("Route custom blocks to wp-block-development; route frontend interactivity to wp-interactivity-api"), giving minimal conflict risk.
