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

wordpress-site-dna scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 10d 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.

Sends data to an external URLlowData exfiltration

A POST to an outside endpoint may be telemetry or may be exfiltration; either way the mod talks to somewhere, and you should know where.

fetch("https://www.respira.press/api/skills/track-usage", { method: "POST",

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

Description

Archaeological analysis of WordPress sites. Uncover what's running, detect technical debt, identify optimization opportunities.

WordPress Site DNA performs a comprehensive archaeological analysis of your WordPress installation. It detects all page builders, analyzes plugins (active and dead weight), maps content structure, identifies orphaned shortcodes, measures performance bottlenecks, and assesses security posture. Think of it as a complete X-ray of your WordPress site.


Trigger Phrases

This skill activates when the user says any of the following:

  • "analyze my wordpress site"
  • "wordpress site audit"
  • "site dna"
  • "site dna analysis"
  • "what's running on my site"
  • "wordpress archaeology"
  • "scan my wordpress installation"
  • "check my wordpress setup"
  • "wordpress site scan"
  • "audit my wordpress"
  • "what plugins are on my site"
  • "check my wordpress health"

Do NOT trigger for: general web development questions, non-WordPress sites, questions about specific single plugins without audit intent.


Execution Workflow

Step 1: Respira Verification

Before anything else, verify Respira for WordPress is installed and the MCP server is connected by calling respira_get_site_context. If it fails or returns an error, stop and show the installation guide.

If Respira is NOT installed, output this and STOP:

Changes

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.
