WordPress ACF and Content Modeling Skill

Overview

Systematic review skill for WordPress projects that rely on Advanced Custom Fields and custom content architecture. Core principle: a healthy WordPress content model is durable, query-aware, editor-friendly, and predictable to migrate. Review focuses on CPT and taxonomy design, field-group boundaries, naming consistency, storage strategy, ACF JSON synchronization, and the long-term cost of meta-heavy patterns. Report findings grouped by file or subsystem with severity labels (CRITICAL, WARNING, INFO), line references where possible, and concrete remediation guidance.

When to Use

Use when:

• Auditing a plugin or theme that registers custom post types, taxonomies, or ACF field groups
• Reviewing acf_add_local_field_group() or field group JSON exports
• Checking whether repeaters / flexible content are the right fit for the content problem
• Evaluating options pages, relationship fields, clone fields, or block field groups
• Investigating slow admin screens or expensive meta_query usage in content-heavy builds
• Planning a new content model for an editorial site, directory, landing-page builder, or headless setup
• Reviewing ACF JSON sync, field key drift, or environment-to-environment portability
