WP Project Triage

When to use

Use this skill to quickly understand what kind of WordPress repo you’re in and what commands/conventions to follow before making changes.

Inputs required

• Repo root (current working directory).

Procedure

1. Run the detector (prints JSON to stdout):
2. node skills/wp-project-triage/scripts/detect_wp_project.mjs
3. If you need the exact output contract, read:
4. skills/wp-project-triage/references/triage.schema.json
5. Use the report to select workflow guardrails:
6. project kind(s)
7. PHP/Node tooling present
8. tests present
9. version hints and sources
10. If the report is missing signals you need, update the detector rather than guessing.

Verification

• The JSON should parse and include: project.kind, signals, and tooling.
• Re-run after changes that affect structure/tooling (adding theme.json, block.json, build config).

Failure modes / debugging

• If it reports unknown, check whether the repo root is correct.
• If scanning is slow, add/extend ignore directories in the script.
