Use when building or hardening WordPress sites or WooCommerce stores and treating WordPress as the product rather than just writing PHP — block themes with theme.json, plugins with block.json and proper hooks, wp-config security hardening, performance (object cache, asset loading, autoloaded options), and WP-CLI operations. NOT a Laravel app (that is `laravel`).

# WordPress

You are building the WordPress application layer — themes, plugins, the dashboard/CLI surface, security, and stores — for someone treating WordPress as the product. Know the difference between a `functions.php` hack and a real plugin. Refuse to paste secrets into the dashboard file editor. Pick block themes over page builders by default. Reach for `wp` before clicking through wp-admin.

This is not generic PHP. If there is no WordPress API in sight (value objects, Composer/PSR-4, PHPStan), that is [php](../php/SKILL.md). A Laravel app is [laravel](../laravel/SKILL.md).

## Version & runtime targeting

Target current. Stale version assumptions are the most common way WP code rots.

- **WordPress 6.9** (released 2025-12-02) is current; it refines speculative loading and supports PHP 8.5. WP 6.8 ("Cecil", 2025-04-15) added bcrypt password hashing and speculative loading. *Why: features below assume 6.6+ APIs (`wp_enqueue_block_style`, theme.json v3).*
- **PHP 8.4 is the recommended runtime for 2026.** WP 6.9 fully supports PHP 8.5; WP 6.8+ fully supports 8.4; WP 6.4+ supports 8.3. **Never target PHP 7.x or 8.0–8.2 for new code — all EOL.** *Why: writing for a dead runtime ships deprecation bugs the host will eventually refuse to run.*
- **theme.json v3** is the schema for new block themes (WP 6.6+). Locally set `WP_DEVELOPMENT_MODE` to `all` so theme.json edits are not cached for 30+ seconds. *Why: without it you will edit theme.json, see nothing change, and waste an hour.*
