Wp Playground is an agent skill from Automattic/agent-skills. Use for WordPress Playground workflows: fast disposable WP instances in the browser or locally via @wp-playground/cli (server, run-blueprint, build-snapshot), auto-mounting plugins/themes, switching WP/PHP versions, blueprints, and debugging (Xdebug).
Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `references/blueprints.md`, `references/cli-commands.md` and `references/debugging.md`). Compatibility notes: Targets WordPress 6.9+ (PHP 7.2.24+). Playground CLI requires Node.js 20.18+; runs WP in WebAssembly with SQLite.
It sits in Development, covering Debugging. It works with WordPress and PHP. The repository describes itself as: Agent Skills for WordPress - folders of instructions, scripts, and resources.
8 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 48d4aa2. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
npxnodeFrom the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
playground.wordpress.netAlso links to:
wordpress.github.ioFrom URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Targets WordPress 6.9+ (PHP 7.2.24+). Playground CLI requires Node.js 20.18+; runs WP in WebAssembly with SQLite.
From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Wp Playground loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 66 tokens; SKILL.md has 482 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
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.
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 482 words (~1,153 tokens).

Wp Playground is an agent skill from Automattic/agent-skills. Use for WordPress Playground workflows: fast disposable WP instances in the browser or locally via @wp-playground/cli (server, run-blueprint, build-snapshot), auto-mounting plugins/themes, switching WP/PHP versions, blueprints, and debugging (Xdebug).

Run `npx skills add Automattic/agent-skills --skill wp-playground -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/wp-playground in Automattic/agent-skills) into .claude/skills/wp-playground in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add Automattic/agent-skills --skill wp-playground -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/wp-playground in Automattic/agent-skills) into .agents/skills/wp-playground in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add Automattic/agent-skills --skill wp-playground -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/wp-playground, .gemini/skills/wp-playground, .github/skills/wp-playground and .opencode/skills/wp-playground in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Wp Playground needs the command-line tools its instructions call (npx and node). Our summary lists: Node.js; Docker. Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Targets WordPress 6.9+ (PHP 7.2.24+). Playground CLI requires Node.js 20.18+; runs WP in WebAssembly with SQLite..
SKILL.md names 2 domains. In commands or code: playground.wordpress.net; the agent is likely to contact it when it follows the instructions. As links in the text: wordpress.github.io. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
No licence was found for Wp Playground or its repository. Without one, default copyright applies: ask the author before reusing or redistributing it.
About 1.2k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 4.6k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 974 tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
