WordPress PHPStan Review Skill

Overview

Systematic review guidance for PHPStan in WordPress projects. Core principle: static analysis should be strict enough to catch real bugs without becoming noise, and WordPress-specific extensions or stubs should be wired in intentionally. Review covers config files, includes, baselines, CI integration, analysis paths, bootstrap files, WordPress stubs, and gradual adoption strategy.

When to Use

Use when:

• Reviewing phpstan.neon, phpstan.neon.dist, or CI config
• Planning PHPStan adoption in a WordPress plugin or theme
• Auditing baseline usage or ignored errors
• Reviewing szepeviktor/phpstan-wordpress setup
• Checking analysis scope, bootstrap files, or stub configuration

Don't use for:

• Runtime performance review
• PHPUnit or browser test strategy without static analysis focus
• General PHP refactors unrelated to analysis setup
