Wordpress Setup

What it does

This skill automates WordPress installation and configuration, enabling an AI agent to connect to a WordPress site and verify access using either WP-CLI or the REST API. It guides users through setting up connections and performing basic checks, ultimately producing a verified connection configuration ready for content management tasks like editing with Elementor. The skill also creates a wordpress.config.json file containing key site information for other skills to reference.

When to use it

• When you need to quickly verify access to a WordPress website programmatically.
• To automate the initial setup and configuration of a new WordPress installation.
• Before using other AI agent skills that require a connection to a WordPress site (e.g., for content management or Elementor editing).
• When troubleshooting connectivity issues with an existing WordPress environment.

Key capabilities

• Connects to WordPress sites via WP-CLI over SSH or REST API.
• Guides users through installing and configuring WP-CLI, including the SSH extension.
• Provides instructions for generating Application Passwords for REST API authentication.
• Creates wp-cli.yml and .dev.vars files to store connection credentials securely.
• Generates a wordpress.config.json file containing site URL, access method details, Elementor status, and version information.

Example prompts

• "Connect to my WordPress site using WP-CLI."
• "Verify the connection to my WordPress site via REST API with application password."
• "Create a wordpress.config.json file for my WordPress installation."

Tips & gotchas

• SSH access is preferred, but the skill provides instructions for using the REST API if SSH isn't available.
• Ensure WP-CLI is installed and accessible on the remote server.
• Store sensitive credentials (passwords) securely in a secrets manager or environment variables, not directly within your project repository.
