Codex WordPress Theme Development Review
Purpose
Use this skill when Codex needs to review WordPress theme code, especially theme.json, template structure, Full Site Editing patterns, and classic-to-block migration concerns.
Focus Areas
- Theme type detection: block, classic, hybrid, or child theme
theme.json structure and versioning
- Template hierarchy and required files
- Template parts, block markup, and pattern registration
- Global styles, spacing systems, and style variations
- Migration or compatibility issues between classic and block approaches
Workflow
- Detect the theme type and review context first.
- Validate
theme.json, required files, and template structure.
- Check template parts, patterns, style variations, and global style choices.
- Use shared reference docs for deeper checks only where needed.
- Report findings with severity, file references, and theme-specific remediation guidance.
Reference Files

../../claude-skills/wp-theme-development/references/fse-guide.md
../../claude-skills/wp-theme-development/references/classic-to-block-guide.md
Output
- Group findings by severity
- Include file references across PHP, HTML, and JSON files
- Explain whether the issue affects block themes, classic themes, or both
- Suggest fixes that match current WordPress theme conventions
