What it does

Wp Theme Development is an agent skill from jorgerosal/wordpress-skills. WordPress theme review for Codex. Use when reviewing block themes, classic themes, or hybrid themes for theme.json structure, templates, template parts, style variations, global styles, and FSE patterns.

Its SKILL.md is about 450 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

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 block themes
  • Hybrid themes for theme.json structure
  • Style variations

Example prompts

  • “/wp-theme-development”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Detect the theme type and review context first.
  2. Validate theme.json, required files, and template structure.
  3. Check template parts, patterns, style variations, and global style choices.
  4. Use shared reference docs for deeper checks only where needed.
  5. Report findings with severity, file references, and theme-specific remediation guidance.

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 Theme Development loads about 451 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 56 tokens; SKILL.md has 169 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~56
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~451

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.

  2. Validate theme.json, required files, and template structure.
  3. Check template parts, patterns, style variations, and global style choices.
  4. Use shared reference docs for deeper checks only where needed.
  5. Report findings with severity, file references, and theme-specific remediation guidance.
