What is wordpress-claude-stack CLAUDE.md?

A project instruction file for developing a WordPress site with PHP, Gutenberg, optional WooCommerce and custom fields, and common JavaScript and dependency tools. It defines coding, security, theme, and project-structure rules.

Use it when working on WordPress themes, PHP, database queries, Gutenberg blocks, WooCommerce features, frontend assets, or project dependencies in this stack.

It gives a coding agent the project's technical standards so generated or edited WordPress code follows the expected conventions and avoids common security mistakes.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.01606	$0.01606
Opus 5.5	$0.00642	$0.00642
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00321	$0.00321
Haiku 4.5	$0.00161	$0.00161

Security

Grade A, and why

wordpress-claude-stack CLAUDE.md 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 1mo 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.
