jorgerosal Codex WordPress Plugin Development Review
Purpose
Use this skill when Codex needs to review the architecture and standards of a WordPress plugin rather than only its security or performance characteristics.
Focus Areas
- Main plugin file and header quality
- Activation, deactivation, and uninstall flows
- Namespacing, prefixing, and collision avoidance
- Settings API, CPT, taxonomy, and REST registrations
- Hook placement, plugin structure, and i18n
- WordPress.org and Plugin Check readiness
Workflow
- Detect the plugin context: WordPress.org, private plugin, mu-plugin, or drop-in.
- Review the main bootstrap file, structure, and lifecycle hooks first.
- Check CPTs, taxonomies, settings, REST routes, and i18n patterns.
- Use shared reference docs only where deeper detail is needed.
- Report findings with severity, file references, architectural impact, and suggested fixes.
Reference Files
Load only the references you need from:
../../claude-skills/wp-plugin-development/references/architecture-patterns.md../../claude-skills/wp-plugin-development/references/api-patterns.md../../claude-skills/wp-plugin-development/references/hooks-guide.md../../claude-skills/wp-plugin-development/references/oop-patterns.md
Output
- Group findings by severity
- Include file references and plugin-context notes where relevant
- Distinguish review blockers from modernization suggestions
- Suggest fixes that fit common WordPress plugin conventions
