wp-github-actions

wp-github-actions is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from jdevalk/skills. It costs 293 tokens per session (1,583 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for setting up GitHub Actions workflows for WordPress plugins. GitHub Actions automatically runs checks or deployment tasks when code changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to configure WordPress coding-standard checks, PHP, JavaScript, and CSS linting, PHPUnit tests, PHPStan analysis, Composer security scans, Playground previews, and WordPress.org deployment.
Why use it?
It reduces the manual work of checking, testing, scanning, previewing, and releasing a plugin, while making failures visible in the project.

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-github-actions 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 7d 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.

WordPress Plugin GitHub Actions

This skill helps you set up a comprehensive CI/CD pipeline for WordPress plugins using GitHub Actions. The goal is to help plugin authors ship higher-quality code with less manual effort.

What this skill covers

There are several categories of workflows that a healthy WordPress plugin should have. Not every plugin needs all of them — the right mix depends on the plugin's complexity, whether it has JavaScript/CSS assets, whether it uses Composer, etc. Your job is to figure out which ones are relevant and set them up.

The workflows fall into these categories:

  1. Code quality — WPCS/PHPCS checks, PHP linting, JS/CSS linting
  2. Testing — PHPUnit with WordPress test library
  3. Static analysis — PHPStan with WordPress extensions
  4. Dependency management — Composer diff on PRs, security scanning
  5. Preview — WordPress Playground PR previews
  6. Deployment — Automated deploy to WordPress.org on tag/release

Read references/workflows.md for the detailed configuration of each workflow, including ready-to-use YAML templates and configuration files.

How to approach a request

Step 1: Understand the plugin

Before writing any workflow files, figure out what you're working with:

  • Does the plugin use Composer? Check for composer.json. If yes, Composer-related workflows (diff, security, autoloading) are relevant.
  • Does it have JavaScript/CSS assets? Check for package.json, any JS/CSS source files, or a build process. If yes, JS/CSS linting and possibly a build step matter.
  • Does it have tests? Check for a tests/ directory, phpunit.xml, or phpunit.xml.dist. If yes, set up the PHPUnit workflow. If not, mention that adding tests would be valuable but don't force it.
  • Is it on WordPress.org? Check for a .wordpress-org directory or ask. If yes, the deploy workflow is relevant and you should also set up .distignore.
  • What PHP versions should it support? WordPress itself requires PHP 7.4+, but many plugins target 7.4, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, and 8.3. Check the plugin's readme or ask.
  • What WordPress versions? Similarly, check what WP versions the plugin declares compatibility with.

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.
