SolveBeam WordPress Plugin Governance

Opinionated governance and AI-driven standards for modern WordPress plugin development. Enforces strict architecture, tooling, auditing, refactoring, and clean distribution practices while supporting the latest three major releases of PHP and WordPress.

Installation

npx skills add https://github.com/solvebeam/solvebeam-wordpress-plugin-governance --skill solvebeam-wordpress-plugin-governance

This clones the skill into .agents/skills/solvebeam-wordpress-plugin-governance/ in your project.

Usage

The skill is automatically discovered by VS Code Copilot (and other compatible agents) based on its SKILL.md description. There are two ways to invoke it:

Slash command

Type / in Copilot Chat and select solvebeam-wordpress-plugin-governance from the list. Then type your request.

Natural language

Simply describe what you need in Copilot Chat. The agent will detect that this skill is relevant and load it automatically. For example:

"Audit my plugin for SolveBeam compliance"

Modes

The skill supports four modes. Mention the mode by name in your chat message to activate it.

audit

Produces a structured compliance report — no code changes.

Audit my-plugin against SolveBeam standards

config

Safe, non-breaking modernization: adds missing tooling config, declare(strict_types=1), dist hygiene files, and documentation.

Run config mode on my-plugin

refactor

Everything in config, plus namespace flattening, psr-4/ migration, singleton enforcement, and full hook rewrite. May introduce breaking changes.

Refactor my-plugin to SolveBeam standards

scaffold

Generates a brand-new, fully compliant plugin from the canonical boilerplate.

Scaffold a new plugin called "My Awesome Feature"
