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

wp-wpcli-and-ops 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 9d 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.

WP-CLI and Ops

When to use

Use this skill when the task involves WordPress operational work via WP-CLI, including:

  • wp search-replace (URL changes, domain migrations, protocol switch)
  • DB export/import, resets, and inspections (wp db *)
  • plugin/theme install/activate/update, language packs
  • cron event listing/running
  • cache/rewrite flushing
  • multisite operations (wp site *, --url, --network)
  • building repeatable scripts (wp-cli.yml, shell scripts, CI jobs)

Inputs required

  • Where WP-CLI will run (local dev, staging, production) and whether it’s safe to run.
  • How to target the correct site root:
    • --path=<wordpress-root> and (multisite) --url=<site-url>
  • Whether this is multisite and whether commands should run network-wide.
  • Any constraints (no downtime, no DB writes, maintenance window).

Procedure

0) Guardrails: confirm environment and blast radius

WP-CLI commands can be destructive. Before running anything that writes:

  1. Confirm environment (dev/staging/prod).
  2. Confirm targeting (path/url) so you don’t hit the wrong site.
  3. Make a backup when performing risky operations.

Read:

  • references/safety.md

1) Inspect WP-CLI and site targeting (deterministic)

Run the inspector:

  • node skills/wp-wpcli-and-ops/scripts/wpcli_inspect.mjs --path=<path> [--url=<url>]

If WP-CLI isn’t available, fall back to installing it via the project’s documented tooling (Composer, container, or system package), or ask for the expected execution environment.

2) Choose the right workflow

A) Safe URL/domain migration (search-replace)

Follow a safe sequence:

  1. wp db export (backup)
  2. wp search-replace --dry-run (review impact)
  3. Run the real replace with appropriate flags
  4. Flush caches/rewrite if needed

Read:

  • references/search-replace.md
B) Plugin/theme operations

Use wp plugin * / wp theme * and confirm you’re acting on the intended site (and network) first.

Read:

  • references/packages-and-updates.md
