WordPress Plugin GitHub Actions

This skill helps you set up a comprehensive CI/CD pipeline for WordPress plugins using GitHub Actions. The goal is to help plugin authors ship higher-quality code with less manual effort.

What this skill covers

There are several categories of workflows that a healthy WordPress plugin should have. Not every plugin needs all of them — the right mix depends on the plugin's complexity, whether it has JavaScript/CSS assets, whether it uses Composer, etc. Your job is to figure out which ones are relevant and set them up.

The workflows fall into these categories:

1. Code quality — WPCS/PHPCS checks, PHP linting, JS/CSS linting
2. Testing — PHPUnit with WordPress test library
3. Static analysis — PHPStan with WordPress extensions
4. Dependency management — Composer diff on PRs, security scanning
5. Preview — WordPress Playground PR previews
6. Deployment — Automated deploy to WordPress.org on tag/release

Read references/workflows.md for the detailed configuration of each workflow, including ready-to-use YAML templates and configuration files.
