# WordPress Code Reference Search Skill

This skill enables searching and retrieving information from the WordPress Code Reference.

## Available Scripts

### search

Search code references by keywords.

```bash
python3 search.py "register_post_type" "wp-parser-function" 5
```

**Arguments:**
- `query` (required): Search keywords
- `subtypes` (optional): Comma-separated list of reference types
- `per_page` (optional): Number of results (default: 5)

### get_content

Retrieve details of a specific code reference entry.

```bash
python3 get_content.py wp-parser-function 12345
```

**Arguments:**
- `subtype` (required): Reference type from search results
- `id` (required): Document ID from search results

## Available Code Reference Types

| Subtype | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| `wp-parser-function` | WordPress functions (e.g., `get_post`, `wp_insert_post`) |
| `wp-parser-hook` | Actions and filters (e.g., `init`, `the_content`) |
| `wp-parser-class` | WordPress classes (e.g., `WP_Query`, `WP_Post`) |
| `wp-parser-method` | Class methods (e.g., `WP_Query::query`) |

## Important Constraint

Code references do **not** have full content. The `get_content` script returns:

- **excerpt**: Description/summary of the function/hook/class/method
- **since**: WordPress version when this API was introduced
- **source_file**: Source file path (e.g., `wp-includes/post.php`)

For full source code, direct the user to the returned URL.

## Usage Workflow

### Step 1: Search for Code Reference

Run the search script:

```bash
python3 search.py "add_action" "wp-parser-function,wp-parser-hook" 5
```

Output:
```json
[
  {
    "id": 12345,
    "title": "add_action()",
    "url": "https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/add_action/",
    "subtype": "wp-parser-function"
  }
]
```

### Step 2: Get Details

Use the ID and subtype from search results:

```bash
python3 get_content.py wp-parser-function 12345
```

Output:
```json
{
  "id": 12345,
  "title": "add_action()",
  "url": "https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/add_action/",
  "excerpt": "Adds a callback function to an action hook.",
  "since": "1.2.0",
  "source_file": "wp-includes/plugin.php"
}
```

## Search Tips

- **Find functions**: Use `wp-parser-function` subtype
- **Find hooks (actions/filters)**: Use `wp-parser-hook` subtype
- **Find classes**: Use `wp-parser-class` subtype
- **Find methods**: Use `wp-parser-method` subtype
- **Combined search**: Specify multiple subtypes (comma-separated)

## Example Queries

1. "wp_insert_post function" -> Search `wp-parser-function`
2. "init action hook" -> Search `wp-parser-hook`
3. "the_content filter" -> Search `wp-parser-hook`
4. "WP_Query class" -> Search `wp-parser-class`
5. "query method" -> Search `wp-parser-method`

## When to Direct Users to URL

Always provide the URL when:
- User needs full parameter documentation
- User wants to see usage examples from core
- User needs return value details
- User wants to see the actual source code
