Description
Operate WordPress installs through WP-CLI for inspection, core maintenance, plugin and theme management, users, options, content, media, cron, database tasks...
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to be what it says: a helper for running WP-CLI against local or remotely-accessible WordPress installs. Before installing or running it: (1) verify the `wp` CLI is available on the host (the metadata does not declare this requirement), (2) only run the scripts on systems you trust or in a staging environment because WP-CLI can perform destructive operations (database import, search-replace, bulk updates), (3) ensure you have backups and a change window for any write operations, and (4) review the included scripts yourself (they are short and readable) and confirm you’re comfortable granting an agent the ability to run shell commands on the target host. If you need additional assurance, request a signed source or a homepage/maintainer contact for the package before use.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: wordpress-wp-cli-admin
Version: 0.5.0
The skill provides a structured interface for managing WordPress installations via the legitimate WP-CLI tool. It includes utility scripts (inspect-install.sh, list-commands.sh) for environment discovery and emphasizes safety practices like dry-runs and backups in its documentation. No evidence of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or unauthorized remote execution was found.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name, description, SKILL.md, and included scripts all align with WP-CLI administration. However, the registry metadata lists no required binaries while the runtime scripts and instructions clearly require the `wp` CLI to be present and runnable; this omission is a metadata inconsistency (not necessarily malicious).
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs the agent to inspect a WordPress install and prefer read-first commands; the two included scripts only run WP-CLI commands, check that the path looks like WordPress, and print status. The instructions warn against blind destructive operations. There is no instruction to read unrelated files or exfiltrate data.
Install Mechanism
No install spec (instruction-only with small helper scripts) — low-risk. Scripts are included in the bundle and no external downloads or archive extraction are performed.
Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables or credentials and the scripts do not read secrets. They do export a PATH that includes common system locations so `wp` can be found. The absence of declared required binaries is the only mismatch (see purpose_capability).
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not always-included and does not request persistent privileges or modify other skills or system-wide agent settings. It operates on-demand and relies on the invoking environment's shell access.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install wordpress-wp-cli-admin - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/wordpress-wp-cli-admin - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
