What You Can Build

Create a New Plugin

Plan a new plugin with setup steps, core architecture, activation hooks, and localization tasks.

Add Admin and API Features

Coordinate admin settings pages, REST endpoints, validation, and permission checks before implementation.

Review Plugin Readiness

Use quality gates to check activation, hooks, tests, documentation, and security controls before release.

Try These Prompts

Plan a Plugin Scaffold

Use this workflow to outline a WordPress plugin scaffold for [feature]. Include files, hooks, activation, and text domain tasks.

Design Plugin Architecture

Use this workflow to design classes and lifecycle steps for [plugin name]. Include dependency loading, hook registration, and data boundaries.

Build Admin and API Flow

Use this workflow to plan settings screens and REST endpoints for [use case]. Include capabilities, validation, nonces, and response behavior.

Audit Release Readiness

Use this workflow to review an existing plugin for release. Check security controls, tests, database updates, documentation, and activation behavior.

Best Practices

Confirm each referenced companion skill is trusted before use.
Apply WordPress nonces, capability checks, sanitization, escaping, and prepared database queries.
Run plugin tests and manual activation checks before release.

Avoid

Do not copy workflow prompts without validating the generated code.
Do not skip permission callbacks or nonce checks for admin and API actions.
Do not treat the folder structure as a complete implementation plan.
