What it does

Wp REST API Development is an agent skill from jorgerosal/wordpress-skills. WordPress REST API review for Codex. Use when reviewing custom routes, permission callbacks, request validation, schema design, controller classes, response shape, or versioned API behavior.

Its SKILL.md is about 300 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 Backend & APIs, covering REST APIs and Database schema design. It works with WordPress. The repository describes itself as: ✅ 🎉 Claude skills and Codex skills for Wordpress development❗️. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Reviewing custom routes
  • Permission callbacks
  • Request validation
  • Controller classes

Example prompts

  • “/wp-rest-api-development”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Identify route registration and controller structure.
  2. Check auth and validation first.
  3. Review response consistency and API contract quality.
  4. Load only the needed shared references from ../../claude-skills/wp-rest-api-development/references/.
  5. Report findings with severity, file references, impact, and recommended fixes.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8c96442. 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.

Context cost

Wp REST API Development loads about 299 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 54 tokens; SKILL.md has 93 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~54
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~299

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.
