Develops custom WordPress themes and plugins, creates and registers Gutenberg blocks and block patterns, configures WooCommerce stores, implements WordPress REST API endpoints, applies security hardening (nonces, sanitization, escaping, capability checks), and optimizes performance through caching and query tuning. Use when building WordPress themes, writing plugins, customizing Gutenberg blocks, extending WooCommerce, working with ACF, using the WordPress REST API, applying hooks and filters, or improving WordPress performance and security.

Discovery
100%Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.
This is an excellent skill description that comprehensively covers WordPress development capabilities with specific, actionable terms. It uses proper third-person voice, lists concrete technical actions, includes an explicit 'Use when...' clause with natural trigger terms, and is highly distinctive to the WordPress ecosystem. The description effectively balances technical depth with accessibility.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Lists multiple specific concrete actions: 'develops custom WordPress themes and plugins', 'creates and registers Gutenberg blocks and block patterns', 'configures WooCommerce stores', 'implements WordPress REST API endpoints', 'applies security hardening (nonces, sanitization, escaping, capability checks)', and 'optimizes performance through caching and query tuning'. | 3 / 3 |
Completeness | Clearly answers both what (develops themes, plugins, blocks, configures WooCommerce, implements REST API, security hardening, performance optimization) AND when with explicit 'Use when...' clause covering multiple trigger scenarios (building themes, writing plugins, customizing Gutenberg, extending WooCommerce, etc.). | 3 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Excellent coverage of natural terms users would say: 'WordPress themes', 'plugins', 'Gutenberg blocks', 'WooCommerce', 'ACF', 'WordPress REST API', 'hooks and filters', 'performance', 'security'. These are terms WordPress developers naturally use. | 3 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | Highly distinctive with WordPress-specific terminology throughout. The combination of WordPress, Gutenberg, WooCommerce, ACF, and WordPress-specific security concepts (nonces, capability checks) creates a clear niche unlikely to conflict with general web development or other CMS skills. | 3 / 3 |
Total | 12 / 12 Passed |
Implementation
100%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This is an exemplary skill file that demonstrates excellent token efficiency while providing comprehensive, actionable WordPress development guidance. The security-focused code examples are complete and executable, the workflow includes proper validation checkpoints, and the progressive disclosure through the reference table is well-organized. The MUST DO/MUST NOT DO constraints provide clear guardrails without being verbose.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The content is lean and efficient, avoiding explanations of basic concepts Claude already knows. Every section provides actionable information without padding or unnecessary context about what WordPress is or how PHP works. | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides fully executable, copy-paste ready PHP code examples for all key patterns including nonce verification, sanitization/escaping, script enqueuing, prepared queries, and capability checks. Commands like `phpcs --standard=WordPress` are specific and actionable. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The 6-step core workflow is clearly sequenced with explicit validation steps (step 4 for WPCS, step 6 for security audit). The workflow includes verification checkpoints and the constraints section provides clear MUST DO/MUST NOT DO checklists for complex security operations. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | Excellent structure with a clear overview, reference table pointing to one-level-deep topic files with explicit 'Load When' guidance, and inline patterns for the most critical security implementations. Navigation is intuitive and well-signaled. | 3 / 3 |
Total | 12 / 12 Passed |
