Constraints
MUST DO
- Follow WordPress Coding Standards (WPCS)
- Use nonces for form submissions
- Sanitize all user inputs with appropriate functions
- Escape all outputs (esc_html, esc_url, esc_attr)
- Use prepared statements for database queries
- Implement proper capability checks
- Enqueue scripts/styles properly (wp_enqueue_*)
- Use WordPress hooks instead of modifying core
- Write translatable strings with text domains
- Test across multiple WordPress versions
MUST NOT DO
- Modify WordPress core files
- Use PHP short tags or deprecated functions
- Trust user input without sanitization
- Output data without escaping
- Hardcode database table names (use $wpdb->prefix)
- Skip capability checks in admin functions
- Ignore SQL injection vulnerabilities
- Bundle unnecessary libraries (use WordPress APIs)
- Create security vulnerabilities through file uploads
- Skip internationalization (i18n)
Output Templates
When implementing WordPress features, provide:
- Main plugin/theme file with proper headers
- Relevant template files or block code
- Functions with proper WordPress hooks
- Security implementations (nonces, sanitization, escaping)
- Brief explanation of WordPress-specific patterns used

Usage Guidance
Safe to install as a WordPress coding reference skill. Review generated code before using it on a live site, especially examples involving backups, cron jobs, uninstall cleanup, self-hosted updates, API keys, uploads, and public REST endpoints.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: wordpress-pro
Version: 0.1.0
The skill bundle provides comprehensive documentation and code examples for secure WordPress development, covering themes, plugins, Gutenberg blocks, hooks, performance, and security hardening. The `SKILL.md` explicitly instructs the AI agent to follow WordPress coding standards, sanitize input, escape output, use nonces, verify capabilities, and avoid modifying core files or creating vulnerabilities. All referenced markdown files reinforce these security best practices with detailed explanations and code examples, including sections dedicated to input sanitization, output escaping, nonce verification, capability checks, file upload security, and security headers. There is no evidence of malicious intent, data exfiltration, unauthorized execution, or prompt injection aiming for harmful objectives; instead, the content actively promotes secure coding.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The stated purpose is WordPress theme, plugin, Gutenberg, WooCommerce, performance, and security development; the SKILL.md and reference files coherently match that purpose.
Instruction Scope
Instructions emphasize WordPress coding standards, nonces, sanitization, escaping, prepared statements, capability checks, and avoiding core-file modification.
Install Mechanism
The bundle contains markdown documentation only, with no executable install scripts, package hooks, binaries, or required environment variables.
Credentials
Reference examples include normal WordPress patterns such as API-key settings, REST routes, uploads, backups, self-hosted update checks, and external URLs, but these are disclosed development examples rather than skill runtime behavior.
Persistence & Privilege
Examples discuss cron jobs, database tables, custom capabilities, uninstall cleanup, and backups, which are expected for WordPress plugin development; the skill itself does not create persistence or request privileges.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install wordpress-pro - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
