Security Audit
SafeStatic analysis flagged many risky-looking patterns, but review found they are Markdown examples, WordPress templates, plugin reference links, and an explicit scaffold generator. No prompt injection, credential exfiltration, hidden network callback, or malicious persistence intent was found in the reviewed evidence.

Skillstore Score
Why this score Evidence Confidence: HighWhat You Can Build
Create a plugin foundation
Generate and adapt boilerplate for a custom plugin, REST endpoint, or admin meta box.
Review theme security
Check theme code for missing sanitization, escaping, nonce validation, and capability checks.
Improve site performance
Apply caching, query, asset loading, image, and cron guidance to reduce WordPress overhead.
Try These Prompts
Use the wordpress-dev skill to create a custom post type for events. Include labels, supports, rewrite settings, and security-safe naming.
Use the wordpress-dev security guidance to review this WordPress form handler. Identify missing sanitization, escaping, nonce checks, and capability checks.
Use the wordpress-dev performance guidance to optimize this WP_Query pattern. Suggest caching, indexes, pagination, and safer query arguments.
Use the wordpress-dev templates and standards to plan a small WordPress plugin with custom post types, taxonomies, meta boxes, REST routes, and asset loading.
Best Practices
- Ask for security checks whenever generated code handles user input or permissions.
- Adapt placeholder names, text domains, routes, and capabilities before using templates.
- Test generated WordPress code in a local site before deploying it.
Avoid
- Do not paste boilerplate into production without reviewing permissions and nonces.
- Do not hard-code project-specific URLs, paths, or text domains from examples.
- Do not treat plugin recommendations as a substitute for current compatibility research.
