What it does

Code Style is an agent skill from Automattic/wordpress-activitypub. PHP coding standards and WordPress patterns for ActivityPub plugin. Use when writing PHP code, creating classes, implementing WordPress hooks, or structuring plugin files.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development, covering Code quality. It works with WordPress and PHP. The repository describes itself as: The ActivityPub plugin connects your WordPress site to the Fediverse. Your site becomes a profile people can follow from Mastodon, and every post you publish is automatically… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

Creating classes
Implementing WordPress hooks
Structuring plugin files

Example prompts

“/code-style”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 72d53bc. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are php).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Code Style loads about 2.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 46 tokens; SKILL.md has 509 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~46
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~2.2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

ActivityPub PHP Conventions

Plugin-specific conventions and architectural patterns for the ActivityPub plugin.

First rule: reuse before writing. Prefer WordPress core functions, then existing plugin helpers (includes/functions*.php, Sanitize, src/shared/), over any new implementation — and never swap a core-function-based check for bespoke logic. See "Reuse Core Functionality First" in docs/php-coding-standards.md.

Quick Reference

File Naming

class-{name}.php         # Regular classes.
trait-{name}.php         # Traits.
interface-{name}.php     # Interfaces.

Namespace Pattern

php

namespace Activitypub;
namespace Activitypub\Transformer;
namespace Activitypub\Collection;
namespace Activitypub\Handler;
namespace Activitypub\Activity;
namespace Activitypub\Rest;

Text Domain

Always use 'activitypub' for translations:

php

\__( 'Text', 'activitypub' );
\_e( 'Text', 'activitypub' );

WordPress Global Functions

When in a namespace, always escape WordPress functions with backslash: \get_option(), \add_action(), etc.

Imports and Class References

Two symmetric rules, both enforced in review:

php

// Plugin classes: import with `use`, never reference inline.
use Activitypub\Collection\Outbox;

Outbox::add( $activity );          // ✅
\Activitypub\Collection\Outbox::add( $activity ); // ❌ no inline namespaces

// Global (WordPress/PHP) classes: reference inline with a backslash, never import.
$query = new \WP_Query( $args );   // ✅
class Command extends \WP_CLI_Command {} // ✅
use WP_Query;                      // ❌ no `use` for global classes

Comments

/* */ for multi-line comments, // for single-line — not stacked // lines.
Place each comment at the line it documents, not as one block above a block of code. Detail is fine; split it per statement.
Explain the non-obvious mechanic that makes a line necessary, never the bug or ticket behind it. A line that speaks for itself gets no comment.

Plugin Idioms

No try/catch or try/finally. Hook a filter around a call as add_filter → call → remove_filter, and report failures through return values (WP_Error, false).
"C2S" stays out of identifiers, file names and code comments; the official name is "ActivityPub API", and "client" is fine for the consuming side.
Anything that leaves the server (REST responses, deliveries) is rendered with $activity->to_array( false, false ): no per-item @context, no bto/bcc. Storage keeps to_array( true, true ) for the round trip.
A few duplicated lines at two call sites beat a new helper; a whole duplicated method body across sibling classes does not.

ActivityPub Architectural Patterns

Transformers

Convert WordPress content into ActivityPub objects.

When to use: Converting posts, comments, users, or custom content types into ActivityPub format.

Base class: includes/transformer/class-base.php

Pattern:

php

namespace Activitypub\Transformer;

class Custom extends Base {
    /**
     * Transform object to ActivityPub format.
     *
     * @return array The ActivityPub representation.
     */
    public function transform() {
        $object = parent::transform();
        // Custom transformation logic.
        return $object;
    }
}

Examples:

includes/transformer/class-post.php - Post transformation.
includes/transformer/class-comment.php - Comment transformation.
includes/transformer/class-user.php - User/actor transformation.

Handlers

Process incoming ActivityPub activities from remote servers.

When to use: Processing incoming Follow, Like, Create, Delete, Update, etc. activities.

Pattern: Each handler processes one activity type from the inbox.

Examples:

includes/handler/class-follow.php - Process Follow activities.
includes/handler/class-create.php - Process Create activities.
includes/handler/class-delete.php - Process Delete activities.
includes/handler/class-like.php - Process Like activities.

Collections

Implement ActivityPub collections (Followers, Following, etc.).

When to use: Exposing lists of actors, activities, or objects via ActivityPub.

Examples:

includes/collection/class-followers.php - Followers collection.
includes/collection/class-following.php - Following collection.

REST API Controllers

Expose ActivityPub endpoints.

Namespace: ACTIVITYPUB_REST_NAMESPACE

Examples:

includes/rest/class-actors-controller.php - Actor endpoint.
includes/rest/class-inbox-controller.php - Inbox endpoint.
includes/rest/class-outbox-controller.php - Outbox endpoint.
includes/rest/class-followers-controller.php - Followers collection endpoint.

Plugin-Specific Helper Functions

php

// Get remote actor metadata.
$metadata = get_remote_metadata_by_actor( $actor_url );

// Convert ActivityPub object to URI string.
$uri = object_to_uri( $object );

// Enrich content with callbacks.
$content = enrich_content_data( $content, $pattern, $callback );

// Resolve WebFinger handle to actor URL.
$resource = Webfinger::resolve( $handle );

// Check whether a post is disabled for ActivityPub (the federation pipeline gate).
$disabled = is_post_disabled( $post );

Real Codebase Examples

Core Classes:

includes/class-activitypub.php - Main plugin initialization.
includes/class-dispatcher.php - Activity dispatching to followers.
includes/class-scheduler.php - WP-Cron integration for async tasks.
includes/class-signature.php - HTTP Signatures for federation.

Activity Types:

includes/activity/class-activity.php - Activity class (Create, Follow, Undo, etc. are built from this).
includes/activity/class-base-object.php - Base object class.
includes/activity/extended-object/ - Extended object types (e.g. Event).

Integrations (see Integration Patterns):

integration/class-buddypress.php - BuddyPress integration.
integration/class-jetpack.php - Jetpack integration.
integration/class-opengraph.php - OpenGraph integration.

Common Initialization Patterns

Static Initialization

php

class Feature {
    /**
     * Initialize the class.
     */
    public static function init() {
        \add_action( 'init', array( self::class, 'register' ) );
        \add_filter( 'activitypub_the_content', array( self::class, 'filter' ) );
    }
}

Singleton Pattern

php

class Manager {
    private static $instance = null;

    public static function get_instance() {
        if ( null === self::$instance ) {
            self::$instance = new self();
        }
        return self::$instance;
    }

    private function __construct() {
        $this->init();
    }
}

Custom Hook Patterns

Actions:

php

\do_action( 'activitypub_handled_create', $activity, $user_ids, $success, $result );
\do_action( 'activitypub_followers_pre_remove_follower', $follower, $user_id, $actor );

Filters:

php

$array   = \apply_filters( 'activitypub_activity_object_array', $array, $class, $id, $object );
$content = \apply_filters( 'activitypub_the_content', $content, $post );
$types   = \apply_filters( 'activitypub_actor_types', $types );

Version Numbers

Always use 'unreleased' for version strings in new code. The release script automatically replaces these with the actual version number during the release process.

PHPDoc tags:

php

/**
 * New function description.
 *
 * @since unreleased
 */
function new_feature() {}

/**
 * Old function.
 *
 * @deprecated unreleased Use new_feature() instead.
 */
function old_feature() {}

Deprecation functions:

php

\_deprecated_function( __METHOD__, 'unreleased', 'New_Class::new_method' );
\_deprecated_argument( __METHOD__, 'unreleased', \esc_html__( 'Message', 'activitypub' ) );
\_doing_it_wrong( __METHOD__, \esc_html__( 'Message', 'activitypub' ), 'unreleased' );

Never hardcode version numbers like '5.1.0' — always use 'unreleased'.
