migrate-wpbakery-to-gutenberg is a skill for Claude Code from respira-press/agent-skills-wordpress. It costs 67 tokens per session (3,989 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A migration tool for moving WordPress pages from WPBakery Page Builder, formerly Visual Composer, to Gutenberg, the built-in WordPress block editor. It converts WPBakery's shortcode-based content into core blocks and creates draft copies for review.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to parse WPBakery shortcodes, create a migration plan, and convert page elements into native Gutenberg blocks. It also registers carried-over colors and typography as Gutenberg global design tokens.
Why use it?
It helps remove dependence on an older page builder without manually rebuilding every page or changing the live versions first.

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-wpbakery-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 WPBakery 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.

Converts WPBakery Page Builder (formerly Visual Composer) pages to native Gutenberg blocks. Parses WPBakery's shortcode-based content from post_content, maps each element to its closest core block equivalent, generates a migration plan for approval, and writes clean block markup to the target pages. Use this skill whenever someone wants to move from WPBakery to Gutenberg, eliminate the WPBakery dependency, switch to native blocks, or modernize an older WordPress site still running WPBakery.

What This Skill Does

WPBakery is one of the oldest and most widely-installed WordPress page builders — millions of sites still run it. It stores content as shortcodes in post_content using the [vc_*] prefix. The good news: WPBakery's shortcode structure is relatively straightforward compared to Divi's encoding complexities. The challenge: many WPBakery sites are older and may use deprecated elements, custom shortcodes from themes, or VC-specific plugins that add nonstandard elements.

This skill parses the WPBakery shortcode tree, extracts content and settings, and generates equivalent Gutenberg blocks. The result is clean, modern WordPress content free from shortcode dependencies.

Handles:

  • vc_row/vc_column → Columns and Column blocks
  • vc_column_text → Paragraph blocks (preserving HTML)
  • vc_single_image → Image block
  • vc_btn/vc_button → Buttons block
  • vc_video → Video or Embed block
  • vc_separator/vc_text_separator → Separator block
  • vc_empty_space → Spacer block
  • vc_row_inner/vc_column_inner → nested Columns blocks
  • vc_custom_heading → Heading block
  • vc_gallery/vc_images_carousel → Gallery block
  • vc_toggle → Details block (WP 6.3+)
  • vc_accordion/vc_accordion_tab → Group with Details blocks
  • vc_tabs/vc_tab → Group blocks with headings
  • vc_raw_html/vc_raw_js → Custom HTML block
  • vc_icon → Paragraph with icon (or HTML block)
  • vc_gmaps → Custom HTML block with embed
  • vc_progress_bar → HTML approximation
  • vc_wp_* widgets → corresponding WordPress widget blocks
