Setup & Installation
What This Skill Does
Guides development of WordPress plugins from initial architecture through release packaging. Covers the full lifecycle: hooks, activation and uninstall routines, Settings API, data storage, cron jobs, and security patterns like nonces, capability checks, and SQL sanitization. Rather than cross-referencing the Plugin Handbook, security docs, and WP-CLI guides separately, this skill encodes the correct order of operations and common failure modes in one place.
