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.

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 | $0.00181 | $0.03792 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00090 | $0.01896 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00036 | $0.00758 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00018 | $0.00379 |
Grade A, and why
wp-admin-list-table 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 284 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
WordPress Admin List Table (WP_List_Table)
WP_List_Table is the base class behind every WP admin list — Posts, Pages, Users, Comments, Plugins. It is not declared abstract, but it is designed to be subclassed. Extending it gets you sortable columns, bulk actions, search, pagination, view filters, row actions, screen options, and the WP-native look — for free, with a few required overrides.
Two things make this hard for plugins. First, the class is in wp-admin/includes/ and is NOT autoloaded — you must require_once it. Second, the bulk-action flow has a security gap that most plugins miss, producing the canonical "delete any record by visiting a crafted URL" CSRF.
When to use this skill
Trigger when ANY of the following is true:
- The user is building an admin screen that lists plugin records (license keys, queued jobs, log entries, custom CPT meta dashboards, audit trails, sync history) and wants the WP-native table look.
- Code references
WP_List_Table,prepare_items,get_columns,column_default,column_cb,get_sortable_columns,get_bulk_actions,process_bulk_action,set_pagination_args,row_actions,extra_tablenav,search_box,screen_option,manage_$screen_columns_hidden. - The user says "I want a table like the Posts screen" / "with bulk delete" / "sortable by date" / "per-page in Screen Options".
- A code review surfaces a bulk-delete or bulk-anything path that doesn't
check_admin_referer( 'bulk-…' ).
The contract — what you MUST override, what you CAN override
| Method | Required? | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
prepare_items() |
YES | Query your data, set $this->items, call set_pagination_args(), set $this->_column_headers |
get_columns() |
YES | Return [ slug => label ] map of columns to render |
column_default( $item, $col ) |
Recommended | Fallback renderer for any column without its own method |
column_<slug>( $item ) |
Optional | Per-column renderer for the column named <slug> |
column_cb( $item ) |
Required IF you have bulk actions | Renders the row checkbox |
get_primary_column_aria_label( $item ) |
Recommended on WP 7.1+ | Concise accessible name for the primary row-header cell |
get_sortable_columns() |
Optional | Return [ col => [ orderby_slug, default_desc ] ] |
get_bulk_actions() |
Optional | Return [ action_slug => label ] to show the bulk dropdown |
process_bulk_action() |
Optional — but you write it if you have bulk actions | Read current_action() and act; this is where the CSRF lives |
extra_tablenav( $which ) |
Optional | Adds filters above the table (status dropdown, date filter) |
no_items() |
Optional | Custom "no records" text |
get_views() |
Optional | The `All |
What ships with it
1 file 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.
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.
