lw-site-manager-overview is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Lonsdale201/wp-agent-skills. It costs 230 tokens per session (4,576 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A reference for using the LW Site Manager WordPress plugin, which exposes more than 120 site-management operations that AI agents can discover and call. Each operation checks the WordPress permissions needed for that task.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps agents and developers work with WordPress updates, plugins, themes, posts, pages, backups, settings, and other site operations.
Why use it?
It explains how to manage a WordPress site through controlled, individual operations instead of relying on one unrestricted administrator token.

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

lw-site-manager-overview scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

LW Site Manager: overview and consumer reference

For developers and AI agents calling the LW Site Manager plugin's abilities — a curated, security-checked exposure of 120+ WordPress operations through the WP 6.9+ Abilities API. The plugin's positioning is "AI-ready alternative to MainWP" — but the surface and the security model differ, and that distinction matters for both consumers and reviewers.

Misconception this skill corrects

"It's just MainWP with a different name — point a token at it and run remote management."

It isn't. MainWP-class tools use a single privileged dashboard token to do almost-anything against the target install; LW Site Manager exposes per-operation abilities, each gated by a specific WP capability check through a centralized PermissionManager. Verified at src/Abilities/PermissionManager.phpcan_manage_updates requires both update_plugins AND update_themes; can_install_plugins requires install_plugins; can_view_health requires view_site_health_checks; can_manage_backups / can_manage_database / can_manage_cache / can_manage_options all require manage_options. There is no "admin override" or single-token bypass.

The practical difference for an integrator:

  • A user with WP role editor (no install_plugins) can call site-manager/list-plugins (read) but NOT site-manager/install-plugin — gracefully gets 403 from the WP layer, not from a custom ACL.
  • A user without view_site_health_checks can't call site-manager/health-check even if their Application Password is valid.
  • A compromised Application Password is bounded by THAT user's WP capabilities, not by a global token.

Other AI-prone misconceptions:

  • "PHP 8.1+ per the README." Wrong — the actual plugin header (Requires PHP: 8.2) is binding. Verified at lw-site-manager.php:8. The README and CHANGELOG are stale on this; WP enforces the header.
  • "All abilities are listed in the README's table." Wrong — the README lists ~60 abilities; source has 126 unique IDs (verified by grepping 'site-manager/...' literals in src/Abilities/). The full set includes things the README skips: bulk-posts, bulk-comments, restore-post, duplicate-post, duplicate-page, reorder-pages, set-post-meta, delete-user-meta, wc-revenue-stats, wc-low-stock-products, wc-bulk-orders, etc.
  • "The MCP adapter ships with the plugin." No. The plugin exposes abilities; the MCP adapter is a separate concern (Anthropic's MCP server bridge for the WP Abilities API). The plugin works without it via the REST run endpoint.
