What is bricks-builder?

A working guide for researching, building, changing, and reviewing websites made with Bricks Builder, a WordPress visual site builder. It uses Bricks documentation and an authorized live installation to check version-sensitive behavior.

Use it when working with Bricks elements, controls, schemas, hooks, settings, or custom code in a child theme or plugin.

It helps agents follow supported Bricks workflows and avoid changing the parent theme directly.

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.

Any agent

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	$0.00123	$0.00945
Opus 5.5	$0.00049	$0.00378
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00025	$0.00189
Haiku 4.5	$0.00012	$0.00094

Security

Grade A, and why

bricks-builder 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 27d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 82 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Bricks Builder

Treat the bundled Academy corpus as the public documentation layer, the hand-written references as development guidance, and the user's authorized active installation as the final source for version-sensitive implementation facts.

Never edit the Bricks parent theme. Put custom code in an active child theme or plugin.

Route the task

Documentation lookup

For feature behavior, official setup, public hooks, schemas, and supported workflows:

Run scripts/search_corpus.py "<query>".
Open 1 to 3 high-signal results with scripts/show_doc.py <path-or-doc-id>.
Prefer hook, element, schema, or control results for exact APIs; prefer guide results for concepts and UI workflows.
Browse the official Academy site only when the local corpus is missing, stale, or the user requests current online verification.

Read references/query-workflow.md for search details and references/corpus-layout.md for corpus organization.

Development implementation

For building or modifying Bricks content or code:

Read only the task-relevant development reference below.
Search the Academy corpus for the related public contract.
When an authorized Bricks 2.4+ Abilities connection is available, use its runtime discovery, schema, preview, and apply workflows before direct storage mutation.
Detect the active Bricks version before relying on internal keys, signatures, paths, or storage shapes.
Inspect the smallest relevant part of the authorized active theme or live WordPress state when available.
Implement outside the parent theme and validate in both the builder and frontend.

Version-sensitive verification

Treat exact element names, control keys, hook arguments, JSON shapes, option/meta keys, internal classes, and version availability as version-sensitive.

Prefer the active installation for claims about that installation.
Cross-check the matching Academy schema or guide where possible.
State the verified Bricks version when the answer or change depends on it.
If no authorized installation is available, use public documentation and clearly identify unverified internal details.
Never publish licensed source, credentials, private site data, or a developer's absolute local path.

What ships with it

60 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
