bd-sink

bd-sink is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Lonsdale201/wp-agent-skills. It costs 202 tokens per session (3,853 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for adding a sink to better-data, where a sink writes structured data objects into a WordPress data store.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for adding write support for stores such as comment metadata, attachments, custom taxonomies, or plugin-specific tables, with projection and convenience methods.
Why use it?
It keeps new WordPress write integrations consistent and preserves values correctly through WordPress's escaping and unescaping rules.

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

bd-sink 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 11d 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.

better-data: Adding a sink

For library maintainers integrating WRITE-side support for a new WordPress data store with better-data — comment meta, attachments, custom taxonomies, plugin-specific tables. The shape is set by PostSink and OptionSink; deviating breaks the HasWpSinks trait API and surprises consumers who've internalized the dual projection-vs-convenience model.

Misconception this skill corrects

"I'll write the values directly to update_post_meta — slashing is the caller's problem."

Wrong direction. WordPress's write pipeline calls wp_unslash() on inbound data on the way to the DB. If you pass a raw value through update_post_meta($id, $key, 'a"b') without slashing first, WP unslashes a string with no slashes and stores 'ab' (the " survives, but escaped/quoted values get mangled). Convenience methods (insert, update, save) MUST wp_slash() before calling any WP write function. Verified in src/Sink/PostSink.php:144 ($args = \wp_slash($args);), PostSink.php:183 (\wp_update_post(\wp_slash($args), true)), PostSink.php:191 (\update_post_meta($postId, $key, \wp_slash($value))).

The mirror trap on the projection side: toArgs/toMeta MUST return raw values, NOT pre-slashed. Callers that take projections and pass them to their OWN WP write calls (wp_insert_post) would double-slash and corrupt every backslash on round-trip.

So: convenience slashes, projection does not. The two paths share SinkProjection::prepareValue (src/Internal/SinkProjection.php:193) which handles type-shaping, encryption, and DataObject unwrapping but never slashes.

Other AI-prone misconceptions:

  • "Asymmetric write/read is fine — encrypt on write, store as plain on read." Wrong. Every asymmetric encryption bug in Phase-8.7's OptionSink came from this pattern. If you encrypt, the matching source MUST decrypt.
  • "Storing a DataObject instance with update_post_meta($id, 'thing', $dto) — WP will serialize it." Technically true, but stores a class name in the DB; on class rename or removal you have unrecoverable garbage. Always project through SinkProjection::prepareValue which recurses arrays and turns nested DataObjects into plain arrays.
  • "I'll do my own slashing inside prepareValue." Wrong layer — projection stays raw. Slashing is the boundary concern at the WP-call site.
