Sets the standards for a classic (non-block) WordPress theme built from this plugin's starters — the layout read from the recorded template, one enqueue callback with filemtime cache busting, escaping (esc_html, wp_kses with an allowlist, never the_field), the unfiltered_html gate on SVG uploads, the SCF/ACF Local JSON field model in acf-json/, image delivery in inc/performance.php, self-hosted fonts and the LCP preload, and the .nav__toggle and .nav__link class contract shared by the walker…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# WordPress Classic Theme Standards

This skill defines the mandatory standards for building WordPress themes using the **classic theme** architecture. No block themes, no Full Site Editing (FSE), no theme.json.

## Reference files

The rules are below. The PHP that implements them lives in two files — copy from there rather
than retyping it:

- [references/setup-and-enqueue.md](references/setup-and-enqueue.md) — enqueueing code (styles, scripts, `wp_localize_script()`, page-specific assets),
  theme supports and content width, custom body classes, the SCF/ACF options page, helper
  functions and SVG upload support. Read when writing `functions.php` or `inc/theme-setup.php`.
- [references/head-and-performance.md](references/head-and-performance.md) — the self-hosted font preload, the LCP preload, emoji and version removal, and
  the meta-description fallback. Read when writing anything hooked to `wp_head` or `init`.

---

`style.css` carries the theme header and no styles: every rule goes where the template's
layout puts it (below), enqueued via `functions.php`.

---

## Theme layout — read the recorded template, then the starter

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add yojahny55/claude-wp-builder/wp-theme-standards@sha256:ba8bc144e543e8c1

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261006.3d44a76, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
