Frequently asked questions about wp-env

What does the wp-env skill do?

Use when setting up, configuring, or troubleshooting local WordPress development environments with @wordpress/env (wp-env). Triggers on mentions of wp-env, local WordPress development, Docker-based WordPress, or requests to start/stop/configure a local WordPress instance. It's a reusable SKILL.md instruction set that loads into your AI coding assistant on demand, no prompt engineering, no copy-pasting every session.

How do I install the wp-env skill?

Run `npx @skills-hub-ai/cli install wordpress-wp-env` from your terminal. The CLI writes the SKILL.md to the correct location for your AI tool (e.g. ~/.claude/skills/wordpress-wp-env/ for Claude Code or ~/.cursor/skills/ for Cursor with --target cursor) and adds it to your project's .skills.json lockfile.

Which AI tools does wp-env work with?

wp-env runs in Claude Code. It follows the open Agent Skills standard (SKILL.md), so the same skill works in every supported tool without modification.

Is the wp-env skill free?

Yes. Every skill on skills-hub.ai is free and open-source. There are no premium tiers, paywalls, or usage limits. You only pay for whatever AI assistant you're already using.

How do I use wp-env after installing it?

In Claude Code, type `/wordpress-wp-env` (or whatever slash command the skill registers) and the AI follows the skill's instructions immediately. You can also reference it by name in natural language, your AI loads the skill into context when relevant.

Can I share the wp-env skill with my team?

Yes. Commit your project's .skills.json lockfile and teammates run `npx @skills-hub-ai/cli install` (no args) to install every skill at the exact version you pinned. Organization-scoped installs work via skills-hub.ai organizations.
