Mode selection

If the marker file $GIT_ROOT/.rolepod/parent-active exists, follow the with-rolepod mode — emit the flat tool inventory under the "When with-rolepod" section below; do NOT render the flow narrative. Parent's using-rolepod router decides which wplab skill to invoke based on phase.

Otherwise, follow standalone mode — render the full tour with phase grouping + recommended next skill, under the "When standalone" section.

GIT_ROOT=$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null) || GIT_ROOT="$PWD"
if [ -f "$GIT_ROOT/.rolepod/parent-active" ]; then
  MODE=with-rolepod
else
  MODE=standalone
fi

WP Full

Pointer skill. Owns nothing. Has nothing under it. Exists so a single invocation surfaces the entire wp-* skill map.

When with-rolepod

Parent detected. Print the flat tool inventory (no flow narrative):

wplab tools available:
- wp-diagnose      (debug evidence)
- wp-health-check  (verify evidence)
- wp-changes       (review evidence)
- wp-edit-design   (build primitive)
- wp-edit-plugin   (build primitive)
- wp-edit-theme    (build primitive)
- wp-scaffold      (build primitive)
- wp-migrate       (build + verify pair)
- wp-connect       (utility — opens a Target)
- wp-pair-setup    (utility — one-click pair via companion)
- wp-introspect    (utility — runtime introspection)
- wp-execute-php   (utility — guarded PHP eval)
- wp-content       (utility — core REST CRUD)
- wp-full          (this skill — already loaded)

Then stop. Parent owns the phase decision.

When standalone

The 13 skills, by phase:

Define

• wp-pair-setup — redeem a companion pair_token, mint App Password, open first Target.
• wp-connect — open Target on any kind (local / rest / ssh / docker) using vault credentials.

Verify

• wp-health-check — sub-5s ping: versions, db_ok, rest_ok, companion_ok, warnings.

Build

• wp-content — core REST CRUD: posts, pages, users, options, db SELECT, rest_request.
• wp-edit-design — Elementor / Divi / Oxygen / Bricks page-builder layouts.
• wp-edit-theme — theme files, theme.json, global-styles, child themes, theme switch (with snapshot + auto-rollback).
• wp-edit-plugin — Yoast / RankMath / WPML / WooCommerce / ACF / Forms read+write.
• wp-scaffold — bootstrap new block / plugin / theme / pattern.

Debug

• wp-introspect — read-only runtime snapshot (hooks, transients, options, request_state, hook_state).
• wp-diagnose — multi-probe sweep + audit + ranked report.

Ship

• wp-migrate — dryrun, apply, backup, restore, clone between targets.

Recovery

• wp-changes — AI Change Ledger query + toggle + panic-revert + bisect.

Power

• wp-execute-php — last-resort PHP eval with 5-layer safety chain.

Reading order

Onboarding a new site → wp-pair-setup → wp-health-check → the build skill matching user intent. Debugging an existing site → wp-health-check → wp-diagnose → wp-introspect → fix via the right edit skill. Shipping work between sites → wp-migrate.
