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 Plugin Development

## Overview

This skill covers building WordPress plugins that are correct, secure, maintainable, and directory-ready. It follows the structure of the official [Plugin Handbook](https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/), with each chapter's practical content in `references/`.

Two rules govern everything else:

**1. Every entry point needs three gates.** Nearly every plugin CVE is a missing gate, not an exotic exploit.

```
Gate 1  AUTHENTICATION  Is this a logged-in user?      is_user_logged_in()
Gate 2  AUTHORIZATION   May THIS user do THIS thing?   current_user_can( 'cap' )
Gate 3  INTENT          Did they mean to, right now?   check_admin_referer()
Then    INPUT           Sanitize + validate every request value
Then    OUTPUT          Escape at the point of printing, per context
```

A nonce without a capability check is not security — it only proves the request came from your form, not that the user is allowed. A capability check without a nonce leaves you open to CSRF. You need both.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ararai1991/wp-plugin-skill/wp-plugin-skill@sha256:01527959b48680c6

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.2.0, 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.
