auth

A set of commands for signing in to WordPress.org, checking which account is signed in, and signing out.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to log in through a browser, verify the current account, print account details as JSON, or remove the saved session.
Why use it?
It removes the need to manage the saved browser session manually when using Pressship with WordPress.org.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Per session 0 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 119 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

auth scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Authentication

pressship login
pressship whoami
pressship whoami --json
pressship logout

login opens login.wordpress.org in a browser. Complete the login manually, including any two-factor prompts. Pressship waits until it detects the logged-in WordPress.org user and then saves the browser session locally.

whoami verifies the saved session and prints the current WordPress.org account.

logout removes Pressship's saved session. It does not revoke other active WordPress.org sessions.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

auth is a command published in the GitHub repository Automattic/pressship (51 stars, last pushed 20d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 119 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
