How does this improve WordPress plugin performance?

By eliminating immediate execution on file inclusion and enforcing hook-based registration, it ensures that code only runs when necessary during the WordPress lifecycle.

What directory structure does this skill recommend?

It favors a modern PSR-4 layout including a src/ directory for namespaced logic (Admin, Frontend, API), a dedicated languages/ folder, and a thin main plugin file for bootstrapping.

Can it help migrate legacy plugins to modern standards?

Yes, it is specifically designed to identify legacy patterns like global variables and unnamespaced classes and provide a refactoring plan to move them into a modern, autoloaded structure.

Does this skill add business logic to my plugin?

No, this skill focuses strictly on structural discipline and architecture, ensuring your code organization follows modern standards without interfering with your specific business logic.

Enforces modern architectural standards and structural best practices for clean, maintainable WordPress plugin development.

This skill acts as a structural auditor and architect for WordPress development, ensuring plugins follow modern PSR-4 standards and Composer autoloading while eliminating legacy anti-patterns. It provides a strict framework for organizing code, promoting thin entry points, namespaced classes, and hook-based execution. It is ideal for developers looking to scaffold new projects, refactor legacy 'spaghetti' code into a professional starter-style layout, or perform architectural reviews to ensure predictable and isolated code execution.
