WordPress AI code review FAQ

This page answers common questions developers ask when they want to use Claude Code or Codex for WordPress plugin reviews, WooCommerce audits, REST API checks, or broader WordPress engineering reviews.

What are WordPress skills for Claude Code?

They are structured review workflows packaged as Claude Code plugin skills and commands. Instead of treating every repository like generic PHP, they review using WordPress-specific concerns such as hooks, nonces, capability checks, block.json, theme.json, HPOS, Settings API, REST permissions, migrations, and WordPress.org release concerns.

Can Claude Code review a WordPress plugin?

Yes. The pack includes both a broad plugin review command and narrower domain reviews for security, performance, WooCommerce, REST API design, accessibility, migration safety, admin UI, and testing strategy.

/wordpress-skills:wp-sec-review wp-content/plugins/my-plugin
/wordpress-skills:wp-perf-review wp-content/plugins/my-plugin

Can this help with WooCommerce code review?

Yes. There is a WooCommerce-specific skill for HPOS compatibility, gateways, CRUD usage, template overrides, cart fragments, Action Scheduler, and extension architecture.

Does it work for WPGraphQL or headless WordPress?

Yes. The project now includes a headless and WPGraphQL review skill focused on schema design, resolver safety, preview flows, caching, and build invalidation.

Do I have to memorize slash commands?

No. You can ask in natural language, like “review this plugin for security issues” or “check this WooCommerce extension for HPOS compatibility,” and let the installed skill pack route the review toward the right domain.

How do plugin-installed commands work?

When this repository is installed as a Claude Code plugin, commands are namespaced under the plugin name: 

/wordpress-skills:wp-plugin-review [path]
/wordpress-skills:wp-sec-review [path]
/wordpress-skills:wp-woo-review [path]

What kinds of developers is this for?

  • WordPress plugin developers
  • Agencies maintaining multiple client sites
  • WooCommerce extension teams
  • Headless WordPress teams using WPGraphQL
  • Developers building blocks, themes, admin tools, and migration workflows

What makes this better than a generic AI prompt?

Generic prompts tend to miss WordPress-specific pitfalls. This pack encodes reusable domain guidance so reviews are more opinionated, more consistent, and more useful on real WordPress codebases.
