fswp-reviewer

Independent review stage of Full-Stack WP Developer. Reviews a finished WordPress plugin, theme, add-on, or Core patch through a security lens (WordPress-specific vulnerabilities, REST and AJAX authorization with an API risk map, AI-generated-code risks), a quality lens (error handling, data and upgrade safety, performance, i18n, accessibility, comment accuracy, test gaps, class and type design, scope), and an optional lean lens for trimming over-engineering, reporting only high-confidence findings in a fixed format. Invoked by fswp-developer after the verify gate, normally through the fswp-code-reviewer agent; consult directly to review or optimize any WordPress code.

Documentation

FSWP Reviewer

Review the code as a stranger would: read what is there, not how it was built. Read-only; never edit. Run after fswp-qa-engineer is green so time goes to what scripts cannot see. The lean lens can run alone on any existing code.

Procedure

  1. List the files. Read the PRD or change brief if there is one, and flag anything shipped that it did not ask for. With no brief (third-party code, lean audit), skip this check instead of inventing scope.
  2. Identify the code type (plugin, theme, add-on, Core patch) and apply the lenses you were given: security and/or quality (references/security-lens.md, references/quality-lens.md), lean (references/lean-lens.md). Any combination is allowed. If docs/review-rules.json exists, also apply it (references/project-rules.md).
  3. Score each security/quality candidate 0-100 for confidence that it is a real defect in this code. Report only 80 and above: Critical (90-100), Important (80-89). Drop style nits and anything a scanner already reports. Lean findings use their own format.
  4. Security lens only: add Unverified suspicions (at most 5, one line each) for candidates scoring below 80 that a person should glance at. Missing a vulnerability costs more than an extra line.
  5. If nothing clears the bar, say what you checked and stop. No padding, no praise.

Finding format

[Critical|Important] <title>  (confidence NN, CWE-NNN if security)
File: path:line
Evidence: the exact code or behavior
Impact: one concrete sentence
Fix: the smallest change that closes it

Verdict

Security/quality: one final line, ship or fix first, with the Critical and Important counts. Lean audit: the total lines and dependencies that would go if every finding were applied; no ship/fix-first verdict, because a lean audit is not a release gate.

Independence

This skill never reads the build transcript. In Claude Code the fswp-code-reviewer agent enforces that. Without agents, disclose the run as a self-review.

Individual skills in this repo

This repo contains 9 individual skills — each has its own dedicated page.

fswp-api-developer

Domain skill for WordPress REST API and Abilities API work in Full-Stack WP Developer. Covers registering routes with schemas, argument validation and sanitization, permission callbacks, controller classes, exposing post types and meta, authentication (cookie nonce, application passwords), pagination and errors, and registering abilities with input and output schemas and safety annotations. Use for any custom endpoint or machine-readable capability in a plugin or theme.

fswp-architect

Planning stage of Full-Stack WP Developer. Classifies the work (new plugin, new theme, update to an existing plugin or theme, add-on for another product, or WordPress Core patch), triages existing code with a bundled detection script, asks one round of essential questions, does competitive research, and produces one reviewable PRD or change brief with a single approval gate. Also covers Migration mode and multi-session handoff docs. Invoked by fswp-developer before any code is written; consult directly for PRD, change-brief, or handoff-doc questions.

fswp-block-developer

Domain skill for WordPress block editor work in Full-Stack WP Developer. Covers building custom Gutenberg blocks (block.json, static and dynamic rendering, attributes, supports, InnerBlocks, variations, deprecations, block bindings), block patterns, and the Interactivity API (data-wp directives, stores, server-side state), with the @wordpress/scripts build workflow. Use for any custom block, pattern, or front-end interactivity in a plugin or theme.

fswp-core-contributor

WordPress Core contribution stage of Full-Stack WP Developer. Guides a contributor through finding or filing a Trac ticket, setting up the wordpress-develop checkout and test environment, writing a patch or GitHub pull request that follows Core coding standards, inline documentation, backward compatibility and tests, and preparing the ticket comment; also routes block-editor changes to the Gutenberg repository and security reports to the private process. Invoked by fswp-developer for Core patches; consult directly for Core workflow questions.

fswp-devops-engineer

Domain skill for WordPress development tooling in Full-Stack WP Developer. Covers local environments (wp-env with Docker, WordPress Playground and Blueprints), command-line site operations (plugin and theme management, database export, search-replace, cron, scaffolding), coding standards and static analysis (PHPCS with WordPress standards, PHPStan with WordPress stubs), PHP and JS testing setup, and the @wordpress/scripts toolchain. Use when setting up, running, or automating a WordPress dev or test environment.

fswp-maintainer

Change stage for existing WordPress code in Full-Stack WP Developer. Updates, fixes, refactors, and upgrades existing plugins and themes without breaking them, and builds add-ons for products you do not own (WooCommerce extensions, page-builder elements, extensions of other plugins) using hooks instead of edits to third-party files. Covers reading before changing, parity lists, deprecation, host compatibility, upgrade paths, and patch delivery. Invoked by fswp-developer after an approved change brief; consult directly for safe-change or add-on questions.

fswp-qa-engineer

Verification stage of Full-Stack WP Developer. Runs the mechanical gate for plugins and themes (house-rule scripts, PHP lint, PHPCS with WordPress standards, PHP compatibility, PHPStan with WordPress stubs), the manual checklist, PRD or change-brief scenario tests, and the pre-release check. Reports PASS, FAIL, or NOT RUN and never implies a skipped check passed. Invoked by fswp-developer after a build and again before delivery; consult directly to audit any plugin or theme folder.

fswp-theme-developer

Theme build stage of Full-Stack WP Developer. Builds custom WordPress themes - block themes (theme.json, templates, template parts, patterns, style variations), classic themes (template hierarchy, functions.php, theme supports), hybrids, and child themes - with accessibility, escaping, and directory readiness built in, plus a scaffold script. Invoked by fswp-developer after an approved PRD for a new theme; consult directly for a specific theme pattern. For changes to an existing theme use fswp-maintainer.

syncwin/fswp-plugin-developer

Plugin build stage of Full-Stack WP Developer. House standards and code templates for real WordPress plugins (not shortcode snippets) - folder anatomy, activation/uninstall lifecycle, custom post types and tables, admin UI tiers, front-end output on the Atomic Framework, REST and cron, i18n, distribution, and the Tier 3 React admin stack - plus a scaffold script. Also the base structure for add-ons. Invoked by fswp-developer after an approved PRD; consult directly for a specific plugin build pattern.
