wp-local

A tool for running local WordPress demo sites with Docker Compose, a system that packages the site and its database into separate containers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to manage local WordPress environments, including checking dependencies, creating sites, controlling their running state, and administering them with WP-CLI.
Why use it?
It simplifies creating, starting, stopping, listing, and permanently removing isolated WordPress sites while preserving their data when stopped.

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.

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 B, and why

wp-local scanned grade B 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 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 6 executable files (scripts/check-deps.sh, scripts/create.sh, scripts/destroy.sh, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 179 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

wp-local — Local WordPress Site Manager

Spin up fully functional local WordPress sites using Docker Compose. Each site gets its own port, isolated MySQL database, and WP-CLI-configured admin account with a forced password change on first login.

Sites persist in ~/wordpress-sites/<name>/ and survive reboots as long as Docker is running.

Scripts

All scripts live at ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/wp-local/scripts/. They output JSON to stdout; progress and errors go to stderr.

Script Purpose
check-deps.sh Verify Docker and Docker Compose are available and the daemon is running
list.sh List all sites in ~/wordpress-sites/ with their running/stopped status
create.sh <name> [title] Create a new site — takes ~1-2 min first run (image pull)
start.sh <name> Start a stopped site
stop.sh <name> Stop a running site (data is preserved)
destroy.sh <name> <name> Permanently destroy a site — second arg must match first (safety guard)

Workflow

Step 1: Check dependencies

Delegate to the wp-local-ops agent synchronously (NOT in background — the result is needed before proceeding):

Operation: check-deps

Parse the JSON response. If ok is false, display each message from the errors array clearly and stop. Do not proceed until Docker is running and Compose is available.

Step 2: Determine intent

If the user's message already specifies the action (e.g. "create a site called my-demo", "stop my WordPress site", "list my sites", "destroy the test site"), go directly to that action — skip the question.

Otherwise, ask:

AskUserQuestion:
  question: "What would you like to do with your local WordPress sites?"
  options:
    - Create a new site — spin up a fresh WordPress instance with WP-CLI
    - List my sites — show all local WordPress sites and their status
    - Start a site — bring a stopped site back online
    - Stop a site — pause a running site (data is preserved)
    - Destroy a site — permanently delete a site and all its data

Files

What ships with it

6 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.

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.

wp-local is a skill published in the GitHub repository trtmn/agent-plugins (2 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed Unlicense. It adds 118 tokens to every session and 1,684 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (asks for root). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
