When to use

Use this skill at the start of most WordPress tasks to:

• identify what kind of WordPress codebase this is (plugin vs theme vs block theme vs WP core checkout vs full site),
• pick the right workflow and guardrails,
• delegate to the most relevant domain skill(s).

Inputs required

• Repo root (current working directory).
• The user’s intent (what they want changed) and any constraints (WP version targets, WP.com specifics, release requirements).
