route WordPress build and audit requests

Covers Local Development WordPress

Description

Route WordPress build and audit requests to the right implementation path for a Studio-backed site. Use when the user wants WordPress work and it is not yet clear whether the task should be handled as site creation, theme work, a custom block, a plugin, or an audit.

WordPress Creator

Use this skill as the top-level decision maker for WordPress implementation and audit work.

Ownership

This skill owns:

  • choosing between site-creator, theme-creator, block-creator, plugin-creator, and auditing
  • picking the smallest fitting WordPress abstraction
  • handing execution off to the specialist skill once the approach is clear

Routing rules

  • Use site-creator when the user wants a new site, homepage, landing page, or a full site built from a brief.
  • Use theme-creator when the main work is theme templates, layout, styling, presentation, or a visual redesign.
  • Use block-creator when the main deliverable is an editor-insertable content block that can't be achieved with existing core blocks or aleady installed custom blocks.
  • Use plugin-creator when the request is reusable site functionality, admin/settings UI, REST endpoints, scheduled tasks, integrations, or backend behavior that should survive theme changes, and that can't be achieved with an existing plugin.
  • Use auditing when the main request is performance review, accessibility review, frontend QA, or optimization guidance on an existing site.
  • If the request could fit more than one path, choose the smallest abstraction that cleanly solves it.

Guardrails

  • Do not reach for a plugin when a theme or block would solve the request more directly.
  • Do not reach for a plugin when an existing installed, or well known plugin is available. For example, Set up an ecommerce system could be accomplished with the WooCommerce plugin.
  • Do not route pure presentation work into plugin-creator.
  • Do not route reusable backend behavior into theme-creator.
  • Once the path is clear, rely on the specialist skill instead of restating its workflow here.
