migrate-visual-composer-to-gutenberg is a skill for Claude Code from respira-press/agent-skills-wordpress. It costs 61 tokens per session (3,098 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A migration workflow for moving pages from Visual Composer, a WordPress page builder, to Gutenberg, WordPress's built-in block editor. It audits the old pages, maps their elements to blocks, and creates duplicate pages for review.

In plain words
What is it for?
Planning and carrying out a site-wide Visual Composer-to-Gutenberg migration, converting pages into native blocks, and reviewing draft duplicates before publishing.
Why use it?
It provides a structured way to leave the older page builder while keeping the live pages untouched during review. Shared colors and typography can be registered as reusable editor styles.

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

migrate-visual-composer-to-gutenberg 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 11d 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.

Migrate Visual Composer to Gutenberg

Version: 2.1.0 Updated: 2026-08-04 Freshly updated: v2.1.0 adds design-token awareness: conversion writes now register the colors and typography they carry as named design tokens in the block editor's own global styles, and converted pages reference those tokens instead of carrying value copies. Reuse registered tokens instead of re-inlining raw values, and report the registration in the migration summary.

Full-site migration from Visual Composer (WPBakery) to the WordPress block editor (Gutenberg). Audits every Visual Composer page, maps elements to their Gutenberg block equivalents, builds a migration plan for approval, and executes page-by-page conversion into native block markup — all through duplicates so your live site stays untouched. Use this skill whenever someone mentions migrating from Visual Composer to Gutenberg, switching from WPBakery to blocks, converting Visual Composer pages to the block editor, or moving away from Visual Composer to native WordPress.

What This Skill Does

Visual Composer (now WPBakery Page Builder in its classic form, and Visual Composer Website Builder in its newer form) stores content in post_meta using VCV's custom JSON format. It has been one of the most widely-used WordPress page builders, bundled with thousands of themes. Gutenberg uses a flat block structure in post_content with HTML comment delimiters. The migration is moderate: Visual Composer's row/column grid and standard elements translate to Gutenberg, but the ecosystem of third-party VC add-ons and theme-bundled custom elements is vast and varied.

This skill reads every Visual Composer page, extracts the builder content, translates each element to its Gutenberg block equivalent, and writes the result to duplicate pages in native block markup — giving you a complete parallel version of your site to review before going live.

Handles:

  • vc_row → Group block mapping
  • vc_column → Columns/Column block mapping
  • vc_column_text → Paragraph/Heading blocks
  • vc_single_image → Image block
  • vc_btn / vc_button → Buttons/Button block
  • vc_video → Video/Embed block
  • vc_separator / vc_text_separator → Separator block
  • vc_raw_html → Custom HTML block
  • vc_empty_space → Spacer block
  • vc_custom_heading → Heading block
  • vc_row_inner / vc_column_inner → nested Columns blocks
  • vc_toggle (FAQ-style) → basic heading + paragraph (flagged for Details block)
  • vc_tabs / vc_accordion → basic content fallback (flagged for manual enhancement)
