Diagnose WordPress repo structure and route follow-up work safely

This skill inspects a WordPress codebase, identifies what kind of project it is, and returns the signals an agent needs before touching files or running tools. Use it when you need a deterministic first pass instead of guessing whether a repo is a plugin, block theme, site, core checkout, or mixed workspace.

Prerequisites

Node.js; filesystem access; optional WP-CLI for downstream workflows

Installation

• git clone https://github.com/WordPress/agent-skills.git
