Flags and fixes performance issues in WooCommerce PHP code: missing post cache priming, uncached option lookups in loops, and inefficient SQL query patterns.
- Reviewing code that loads a list of WooCommerce products or orders
- SKILL.md covers Post Cache Priming —…, Options Cache Priming —… and SQL Query Patterns —…
- Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
- Writing a loop that reads several WordPress options
What it does
This skill points the agent to three focused reference files for reviewing or writing performance-sensitive WooCommerce PHP code. The post cache priming guide covers `_prime_post_caches()` for code that loads collections of post-based objects, such as products or orders, or renders product lists with images, both as a pattern to apply when writing new code and as a check when reviewing existing code.
The options cache priming guide covers `wp_prime_option_caches()` for code that reads several non-autoloaded options in a loop or method, across static key lists, derivable key patterns and dynamically extracted key sets, while noting that already-autoloaded options need no priming. The SQL query patterns guide addresses redundant posts joins, a fan-out join on `wp_term_relationships`, N-query loops, OR conditions that break index merges, cross-product meta conditions, decoupling multi-fan joins, preferring WooCommerce's own lookup tables such as `wc_product_meta_lookup`, and eliminating full scans behind MIN and MAX aggregates.
When your agent uses it
- Reviewing code that loads a list of WooCommerce products or orders
- Writing a loop that reads several WordPress options
- Writing or reviewing a SQL query that joins against term relationships or product meta
- Investigating a slow WooCommerce admin or storefront query
Example prompts
- “Review this function that loads 50 orders for missing cache priming.”
- “This loop reads ten options per product. Does it need wp_prime_option_caches?”
- “Rewrite this query to use wc_product_meta_lookup instead of joining postmeta directly.”
Requirements
- A WooCommerce or WordPress PHP codebase
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b41b964. 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
WooCommerce PHP Performance Patterns loads about 395 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 85 tokens; SKILL.md has 140 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.
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
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 140 words (~395 tokens).
“Use when writing or reviewing code that loads collections of post-based objects (products, orders) or renders product lists with images. Covers _prime_post_caches() usage patterns — both as a generation guide (apply these patterns when writing new code) and a review…”
