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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00147 | $0.02574 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00073 | $0.01287 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00029 | $0.00515 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00015 | $0.00257 |
Grade A, and why
wp-plugin-dto 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 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.
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 — 228 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
WordPress plugin: native DTOs
For plugin code that moves structured data between request input, options, meta, custom tables, external APIs, REST controllers, admin screens, cron jobs, and presenters. A DTO gives that data one named shape instead of leaking raw arrays across the plugin.
This skill is intentionally better-data-free. If the project already uses
better-data, run bd-data-object; otherwise use this native pattern.
When to load references
- Need a complete PHP 7.4 / PHP 8.1 DTO implementation, nested DTO, enum-like value set, or secret value object: read references/native-dto-patterns.md.
- Refactoring a controller/repository that currently passes raw arrays,
$_POST,WP_Post, meta arrays, or option arrays around: read references/before-after-raw-array.md.
Misconception this skill corrects
"A DTO is just an array with nicer comments."
Wrong direction. A DTO is a small immutable boundary object with a named schema,
explicit defaults, and one hydration path. It prevents common AI mistakes:
unchecked (int) casts, empty() swallowing 0, isset() hiding intentional
null, dynamic properties, leaking secrets through to_array(), and passing
$_POST or raw post meta directly to business logic.
When to use this skill
Trigger when ANY of the following is true:
- Introducing
FooDto,FooData,SettingsData,RequestData,Payload, or a value object. - A repository, REST controller, admin page, cron job, or WooCommerce hook currently passes large associative arrays around.
- Data comes from
$_GET,$_POST, REST params, options, post meta, user meta, term meta, custom tables,WP_Post,WP_User, or WooCommerce objects. - Reviewing hydration / normalization code with casts like
(int),(bool),intval,settype,empty,isset,get_object_vars, or dynamic property assignment. - Presenter or REST response code needs a stable input object.
What ships with it
2 files 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.

wp-plugin-dto is a skill published in the GitHub repository Lonsdale201/wp-agent-skills (22 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 147 tokens to every session and 2,574 once invoked, about $0.0007 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
