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.

About this skill

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to discover, install, and manage WordPress block themes directly through code execution. It streamlines the deployment of modern theme architectures by handling the necessary package management operations within a WordPress environment.

When to use it

  • You need to deploy a new Gutenberg-based theme without manual FTP access or cPanel uploads.
  • Your workflow requires automating theme updates or switching between multiple block themes programmatically.
  • You are building an agent that manages site design consistency by enforcing specific theme installations across a network of sites.

Key capabilities

  • Discovers available WordPress block themes from official repositories.
  • Installs selected themes directly into the WordPress installation directory.
  • Manages theme activation and deactivation states via API calls.

Example prompts

  • "Install the 'Twenty Twenty-Four' block theme on this WordPress site."
  • "List all available block themes compatible with my current WordPress version and install the one named 'Hello Elementor'."
  • "Switch the active theme to 'Astra' and ensure it is properly configured for block editing."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your AI agent has write permissions to the WordPress wp-content/themes directory before attempting installation. This skill relies on the underlying WP-CLI or similar execution environments; if those are misconfigured, the agent may fail silently during the discovery phase.
