# Agent Skills for WordPress > **⚠️ This repository has moved to [WordPress/agent-skills](https://github.com/WordPress/agent-skills)** > > This repository is now archived. All future development happens in the WordPress organization. > Please update your bookmarks, clones, and references to use the new repository. **Teach AI coding assistants how to build WordPress the right way.** Agent Skills are portable bundles of instructions, checklists, and scripts that help AI assistants (Claude, Copilot, Codex, Cursor, etc.) understand WordPress development patterns, avoid common mistakes, and follow best practices. <img width="2400" height="1260" alt="Agent Skills banner" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/def9a6f9-cbba-4249-866f-b9a274b84188" /> ## Why Agent Skills? AI coding assistants are powerful, but they often: - Generate outdated WordPress patterns (pre-Gutenberg, pre-block themes) - Miss critical security considerations in plugin development - Skip proper block deprecations, causing "Invalid block" errors - Ignore existing tooling in your repo Agent Skills solve this by giving AI assistants **expert-level WordPress knowledge** in a format they can actually use. ## Available Skills | Skill | What it teaches | |-------|-----------------| | **wordpress-router** | Classifies WordPress repos and routes to the right workflow | | **wp-project-triage** | Detects project type, tooling, and versions automatically | | **wp-block-development** | Gutenberg blocks: `block.json`, attributes, rendering, deprecations | | **wp-block-themes** | Block themes: `theme.json`, templates, patterns, style variations | | **wp-plugin-development** | Plugin architecture, hooks, settings API, security | | **wp-rest-api** | REST API routes/endpoints, schema, auth, and response
