Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned automattic/agent-skills at 48d4aa21d0.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

The wp-abilities-api skill provides a standardized interface for AI agents to discover and interact with WordPress capabilities. It enables agents to query available functions, check permissions, and execute tasks directly within the WordPress ecosystem without manual configuration.

When to use it

  • Automating routine content management tasks like publishing posts or updating settings.
  • Enabling AI assistants to dynamically determine what actions they are permitted to perform on a specific site.
  • Integrating third-party AI tools with existing WordPress workflows programmatically.
  • Building custom plugins that require agents to understand the current state of WordPress features.

Key capabilities

  • Capability Discovery: Allows agents to list and inspect available WordPress abilities.
  • Permission Verification: Helps agents confirm if they have the necessary access rights before executing actions.
  • Standardized Interaction: Provides a consistent API structure for communicating with WordPress functionality.
  • Dynamic Execution: Facilitates real-time triggering of WordPress features by AI agents.

Example prompts

  • "List all content-related capabilities available on this WordPress site."
  • "Can an agent publish a new draft post using the current permissions?"
  • "Execute a theme update and confirm the result via the API."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your WordPress installation is properly configured to expose these abilities before attempting integration. The skill relies on accurate capability definitions, so verify that custom plugins or themes do not obscure standard WordPress functions from the agent's view.
