wp-admin-list-table is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Lonsdale201/wp-agent-skills. It costs 181 tokens per session (3,792 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A base class for building WordPress administration tables like the lists used for posts, users, and plugins. It provides the structure for columns, sorting, searching, pagination, row actions, and bulk actions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to list plugin records such as logs, queued jobs, license keys, audit entries, or synchronization history.
Why use it?
It avoids hand-building a table that matches WordPress conventions. It also highlights the loading and security steps needed to process bulk actions safely.

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-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.

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

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.
