In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan or build block.json files, editor and saved views, block attributes, nested blocks, variations, styles, transforms, deprecations, and dynamic PHP rendering.
Why use it?
It helps choose native blocks when the editor needs nested content, conversions between block types, variations, complex JavaScript controls, or versioned changes.

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

superpowers-sage:wp-block-native 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.

Native WordPress Block Development

When to use

When building editor blocks that require capabilities beyond what ACF Composer provides: InnerBlocks nesting, block transforms, block variations, JS-heavy editor UI, or block deprecations. Also use when you need fine-grained control over the editor experience or when a block's primary complexity is in its editor behavior rather than its field configuration.

Inputs required

  • The block's purpose and editor behavior requirements
  • Whether ACF Composer could handle it (use the decision table below)
  • Target WordPress version (determines apiVersion and available block supports)
  • Whether the block needs InnerBlocks, transforms, or deprecations

Procedure

1. Decision table: ACF Composer vs Native blocks

Requirement ACF Composer Native Block
Complex field groups (repeaters, flexible content) Best choice Avoid
InnerBlocks (nested block areas) Not supported Required
Block transforms (convert between block types) Not supported Required
Block variations (same block, different presets) Limited Full support
JS-heavy editor controls Limited Full support
Block deprecations (safe markup changes) Not applicable Required
Quick data-entry blocks Best choice Overkill

Both can coexist in the same project. ACF blocks and native blocks appear side by side in the inserter.

2. Block structure in a Sage project

          save.js            # Save component (or null for dynamic)
          style.css          # Front-end styles
          editor.css         # Editor-only styles
          block.json        # Block metadata

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.
