At a glance

A skill your agent uses when building UIs leveraging the WordPress Design System (WPDS) and its components, tokens, patterns, etc.

  • Building UIs leveraging the WordPress Design System (WPDS) and its components
  • SKILL.md covers Prerequisites, When to use, Rules and Output
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Tasks that involve Design systems

What it does

Wpds is an agent skill from Automattic/agent-skills. Use when building UIs leveraging the WordPress Design System (WPDS) and its components, tokens, patterns, etc.

Its SKILL.md is about 700 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts. Compatibility notes: Requires WPDS MCP server configured and running. Targets WordPress 6.9+ (PHP 7.2.24+).

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering Design systems. It works with WordPress and Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: Agent Skills for WordPress - folders of instructions, scripts, and resources.

When your agent uses it

  • Building UIs leveraging the WordPress Design System (WPDS) and its components
  • Tasks that involve Design systems

Example prompts

  • “/wpds”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Requires WPDS MCP server configured and running. Targets WordPress 6.9+ (PHP 7.2.24+).

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 48d4aa2. 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.

    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.

  • Compatibility

    Requires WPDS MCP server configured and running. Targets WordPress 6.9+ (PHP 7.2.24+).

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Wpds loads about 704 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 29 tokens; SKILL.md has 362 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~29
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~704

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 362 words (~704 tokens).

“This skill works best with the WPDS MCP server installed. The MCP provides access to WordPress Design System documentation and resources, such as components and DS token lists.”
