wordpress-router

Use when the user asks about WordPress codebases (plugins, themes, block themes, Gutenberg blocks, WP core checkouts) and you need to quickly classify the repo and route to the correct workflow/skill (blocks, theme.json, REST API, WP-CLI, performance, security, testing, release packaging).

Markdown instructions
A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.
Works with any LLM
AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.
1 bundled files
Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.
Open source
Published by WordPress on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Wordpress Router AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/WordPress/agent-skills.git /tmp/agent-skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/agent-skills/skills/wordpress-router .claude/skills/wordpress-router

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Wordpress Router in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Wordpress Router on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Wordpress Router is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

WordPress Router

When to use

Use this skill at the start of most WordPress tasks to:

identify what kind of WordPress codebase this is (plugin vs theme vs block theme vs WP core checkout vs full site),
pick the right workflow and guardrails,
delegate to the most relevant domain skill(s).

Inputs required

Repo root (current working directory).
The user’s intent (what they want changed) and any constraints (WP version targets, WP.com specifics, release requirements).

Procedure

Run the project triage script:
- node skills/wp-project-triage/scripts/detect_wp_project.mjs
Read the triage output and classify:
- primary project kind(s),
- tooling available (PHP/Composer, Node, @wordpress/scripts),
- tests present (PHPUnit, Playwright, wp-env),
- any version hints.
Route to domain workflows based on user intent + repo kind:
- For the decision tree, read: skills/wordpress-router/references/decision-tree.md.
Apply guardrails before making changes:
- Confirm any version constraints if unclear.
- Prefer the repo’s existing tooling and conventions for builds/tests.

Verification

Re-run the triage script if you create or restructure significant files.
Run the repo’s lint/test/build commands that the triage output recommends (if available).

Failure modes / debugging

If triage reports kind: unknown, inspect:
- root composer.json, package.json, style.css, block.json, theme.json, wp-content/.
If the repo is huge, consider narrowing scanning scope or adding ignore rules to the triage script.

Escalation

If routing is ambiguous, ask one question:
- “Is this intended to be a WordPress plugin, a theme (classic/block), or a full site repo?”

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Wordpress Router AI skill do?

Why use Wordpress Router on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Wordpress Router is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Wordpress Router in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/WordPress/agent-skills/tree/trunk/skills/wordpress-router. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Wordpress Router?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Wordpress Router?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Wordpress Router with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Wordpress Router AI skill free?

It is published on GitHub by WordPress. Check the repository for licensing terms. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
