wp-admin-drag-and-drop

wp-admin-drag-and-drop is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Lonsdale201/wp-agent-skills. It costs 126 tokens per session (4,134 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to using WordPress's included drag-and-drop tools in administration pages. It covers simple reordering, moving items between columns, palette-to-drop areas, and nested parent-and-child lists.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for sortable form rows, priority rules, kanban boards, builder interfaces, taxonomy ordering, and nested trees.
Why use it?
It avoids adding a separate drag-and-drop library when WordPress already includes the needed tools. It also explains how to save changed positions and announce moves for accessibility.

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-admin-drag-and-drop 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 2d 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 Admin Drag-and-Drop

WP ships a complete jQuery UI drag-and-drop toolkit and the WAI-ARIA helper core itself uses to announce moves. You do not need SortableJS, dnd-kit, or Dragula for an admin UI. The blocker isn't the API — it's that nobody documents which primitive matches which UX a plugin developer actually wants to build. This skill is that mapping.

When to use this skill

Trigger when ANY of the following is true:

  • A plugin admin page needs drag-to-reorder for ANY list of items — repeater rows, custom builder cards, rule-priority lists, sortable form fields, custom taxonomy term order, FAQ entries, pricing tiers, notification levels.
  • The user wants a palette of available items that get dragged into a drop zone — block-library-like UIs, condition builders, action chains.
  • The user wants a kanban-style board, or any "move card between columns" UX.
  • The user asks for "menu-style" or "parent/child" drag — nested trees with indentation.
  • The user is reaching for an external D&D library for admin UI when WP's bundled primitives would do.
  • Code references jquery-ui-sortable, jquery-ui-draggable, jquery-ui-droppable, jquery-touch-punch, connectWith, connectToSortable.

Proof this is reusable: where core itself runs these primitives

Same three jQuery UI plugins, four wildly different UXes. If your plugin scenario looks like ANY of these, the same toolkit works for you.

Core surface Pattern used What you can build with the same primitive
Postbox on post edit screens Flat sortable + connected sortables (between context columns) Repeater rows, FAQ list, rule list
Dashboard widgets Same postbox engine Plugin dashboard cards, status panels
Pre-Gutenberg widget admin (Appearance → Widgets) Palette → drop zone, with cloned helper Block library, action library, condition builder
Nav menus admin (Appearance → Menus) Hierarchical sortable with depth math Any tree UI (term reorder with nesting, page tree, file/folder tree)
Admin gallery in media Flat sortable on attachment thumbs Image carousel order, slider order

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.
