# WordPress Development Workflow Bundle

## Overview

Comprehensive WordPress development workflow covering theme development, plugin creation, WooCommerce integration, performance optimization, and security. This bundle orchestrates skills for building production-ready WordPress sites and applications.

## WordPress 7.0 Features (Backward Compatible)

WordPress 7.0 (April 9, 2026) introduces significant features while maintaining backward compatibility:

### Real-Time Collaboration (RTC)
- Multiple users can edit simultaneously using Yjs CRDT
- HTTP polling provider (configurable via `WP_COLLABORATION_MAX_USERS`)
- Custom transport via `sync.providers` filter
- **Backward Compatibility**: Falls back to post locking when legacy meta boxes detected

### AI Connectors API
- Provider-agnostic AI interface in core (`wp_ai_client_prompt()`)
- Settings > Connectors for centralized API credential management
- Official providers: OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini
- **Backward Compatibility**: Works with WordPress 6.9+ via plugin

### Abilities API (Stable in 7.0)
- Standardized capability declaration system
- REST API endpoints: `/wp-json/abilities/v1/manifest`
- MCP adapter for AI agent integration
- **Backward Compatibility**: Can be used as Composer package in 6.x

### DataViews & DataForm
- Replaces WP_List_Table on Posts, Pages, Media screens
- New layouts: table, grid, list, activity
- Client-side validation (pattern, minLength, maxLength, min, max)
- **Backward Compatibility**: Plugins using old hooks still work

### PHP-Only Block Registration
- Register blocks entirely via PHP without JavaScript
- Auto-generated Inspector controls
- **Backward Compatibility**: Existing JS blocks continue to work

### Interactivity API Updates
- `watch()` replaces `effect` from @preact/signals
- State navigation changes
- **Backward Compatibility**: Old syntax deprecated but functional

### Admin Refresh
- New default color scheme
- View transitions between admin screens
- **Backward Compatibility**: CSS-level changes, no breaking changes

### Pattern Editing
- ContentOnly mode defaults for unsynced patterns
- `disableContentOnlyForUnsyncedPatterns` setting
- **Backward Compatibility**: Existing patterns work

## When to Use This Workflow

Use this workflow when:
- Building new WordPress websites
- Creating custom themes
- Developing WordPress plugins
- Setting up WooCommerce stores
- Optimizing WordPress performance
- Hardening WordPress security
- Implementing WordPress 7.0 features (RTC, AI, DataViews)

## Workflow Phases

### Phase 1: WordPress Setup

#### Skills to Invoke
- `app-builder` - Project scaffolding
- `environment-setup-guide` - Development environment

#### Actions
1. Set up local development environment (LocalWP, Docker, or Valet)
2. Install WordPress (recommend 7.0+ for new projects)
3. Configure development database
4. Set up version control
5. Configure wp-config.php for development

#### WordPress 7.0 Configuration
```php
// wp-config.php - Collaboration settings
define('WP_COLLABORATION_MAX_USERS', 5);

// AI Connector is enabled by installing a provider plugin
// (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, or Google Gemini connector)
// No constant needed - configure via Settings > Connectors in admin
```

#### Copy-Paste Prompts
```
Use @app-builder to scaffold a new WordPress project with modern tooling
```

### Phase 2: Theme Development

// Basic text generation
$response = wp_ai_client_prompt('Summarize this content.')
    ->generate_text();

// With temperature for deterministic output
$response = wp_ai_client_prompt('Summarize this content.')
    ->using_temperature(0.2)
    ->generate_text();

// With model preference (tries first available in list)
$response = wp_ai_client_prompt('Summarize this content.')
    ->using_model_preference('gpt-4', 'claude-3-opus', 'gemini-2-pro')

    'required' => ['summary']
];
$response = wp_ai_client_prompt('Analyze this content and return JSON.')
    ->using_system_instruction('You are a content analyzer.')
    ->as_json_response($schema)
    ->generate_text();
```

#### Plugin Structure

        'permission_callback' => '__return_true',
    ]);
});
```

### WordPress 7.0 AI Connector Usage
```php
// Auto-generate post excerpt with AI
add_action('save_post', function($post_id, $post) {
    if (wp_is_post_autosave($post_id) || wp_is_post_revision($post_id)) {
        return;
    }
    
    // Skip if excerpt already exists
    if (!empty($post->post_excerpt)) {
        return;
    }
    
    $content = strip_tags($post->post_content);
    if (empty($content)) {
        return;
    }
    
    // Check if AI client is available
    if (!function_exists('wp_ai_client_prompt')) {
        return;
    }
    
    // Build prompt with input
    $result = wp_ai_client_prompt(
        'Create a brief 2-sentence summary of this content: ' . substr($content, 0, 1000)
    );
    
    if (is_wp_error($result)) {
        return; // Silently fail - don't block post saving
    }
    
    // Use temperature for consistent output
    $result->using_temperature(0.3);
    $summary = $result->generate_text();
    
    if ($summary && !is_wp_error($summary)) {
        wp_update_post([
            'ID' => $post_id,
            'post_excerpt' => sanitize_textarea_field($summary)
        ]);
    }
}, 10, 2);
```

### PHP-Only Block Registration (WordPress 7.0)

        'permission_callback' => function() {
            return current_user_can('edit_posts');
        }
    ]);
});

// Handler function for the ability
function my_plugin_generate_summary_handler($input) {
    $post_id = isset($input['post_id']) ? absint($input['post_id']) : 0;
    $post = get_post($post_id);
    
    if (!$post) {
        return new WP_Error('invalid_post', 'Post not found');
    }
    
    $content = strip_tags($post->post_content);
    if (empty($content)) {
        return ['summary' => ''];
    }
    
    if (!function_exists('wp_ai_client_prompt')) {
        return new WP_Error('ai_unavailable', 'AI client not available');
    }
    
    $result = wp_ai_client_prompt('Summarize in 2 sentences: ' . substr($content, 0, 1000))
        ->using_temperature(0.3)
        ->generate_text();
    
    if (is_wp_error($result)) {
        return $result;
    }
    
    return ['summary' => sanitize_textarea_field($result)];
}
