  • 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.

  • 3 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 Wp Playground AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

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.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
  4. 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.
2

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/wp-playground .claude/skills/wp-playground
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Wp Playground 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 Wp Playground 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 Wp Playground 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 Playground

This is a thin routing wrapper. Use it to pick the right Playground workflow, then load only the focused reference or skill needed for the task.

Procedure

  1. Identify the user intent: Blueprint authoring/review, local CLI execution, browser-only website/share link workflow, Xdebug/stuck CLI run, or a mixed Playground request.
  2. Route to the focused source below, loading more than one only when the request has multiple distinct parts.
  3. For mixed requests, delegate Blueprint JSON work to blueprint, then return here for runtime, CLI, debugging, or sharing guidance.
  • Blueprint JSON, schema, steps, resources, bundles, or Blueprint review: use the blueprint skill directly. Do not duplicate Blueprint schema details here.
  • Local CLI execution: read references/cli.md for @wp-playground/cli server, run-blueprint, build-snapshot, mounts, version switching, and local validation.
  • Xdebug or stuck CLI runs: read references/debugging.md for Xdebug, runtime logs, worker flags, and stuck CLI runs.
  • Browser-only Playground website workflows: read references/website.md for playground.wordpress.net, share URLs, Blueprint Editor, hosted bundles, and browser limitations.

Inputs required

  • The intended workflow: Blueprint authoring, local CLI run, website/share link, snapshot, or debugging.
  • Project or bundle path if local code must be mounted or packaged.
  • Desired WordPress/PHP versions if compatibility matters.
  • Port preference if a local server is needed.
  • Whether browser-only sharing or local filesystem access is required.

Guardrails

  • Playground instances are disposable, SQLite-backed environments; never point them at production data.
  • Keep Blueprint JSON guidance in blueprint so the schema and examples have one source of truth.
  • For local CLI work, verify Node.js 20.18+ and npm/npx before running commands.
  • Browser-only Playground cannot read local filesystem paths; use public URLs, hosted ZIP bundles, or inline Blueprint JSON.

Verification

  • For Blueprint content, validate against the published schema and follow the blueprint skill verification.
  • For local CLI runs, verify the mounted plugin/theme or Blueprint side effects in the Playground instance.
  • For share links, open the generated URL and confirm the expected landing page and installed assets load.

Failure modes

  • Blueprint work routed here: stop and use the blueprint skill for schema keys, steps, resources, bundles, validation, or Blueprint review.
  • Local filesystem needed in a browser-only workflow: use references/cli.md; playground.wordpress.net cannot read local filesystem paths.
  • Shareable browser link requested from a local CLI workflow: use references/website.md; local server URLs are not portable share links.
  • Debugging treated as a second-hop reference: read references/debugging.md directly for Xdebug, logs, worker flags, and stuck CLI runs.

Escalation

  • If the task needs PHP extensions, native database access, persistence, or production-like infrastructure that Playground cannot provide, use a full WordPress stack such as wp-env, Docker, or the project-provided environment.

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 Wp Playground AI skill do?

Use as the WordPress Playground routing wrapper for ambiguous Playground work, local CLI runs with @wp-playground/cli, playground.wordpress.net share links, browser previews, snapshots, mounts, version switching, and Xdebug. For Blueprint JSON authoring or review, use the blueprint skill directly.

Why use Wp Playground on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Wp Playground 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 Wp Playground in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/WordPress/agent-skills/tree/trunk/skills/wp-playground. 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 Wp Playground?

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 Wp Playground?

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

Is the Wp Playground 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.
