What This Skill Does

wp-playground runs disposable WordPress instances in the browser or locally via CLI, using WebAssembly and SQLite. It supports auto-mounting plugins and themes, switching WP and PHP versions, running Blueprints, building shareable snapshots, and debugging with Xdebug. Instead of spinning up Docker or a full wp-env stack, you get an isolated WordPress running in seconds with a single npx command and no database to configure.
