Can this skill help debug CSS issues in WordPress?

Yes, it is specifically designed to troubleshoot the WordPress style hierarchy and identify when user customizations or core defaults are overriding your theme.json settings.

Does it support older versions of WordPress?

This skill targets WordPress 6.9 and higher, as that version introduced the foundational support for Full Site Editing and the theme.json schema.

What is a WordPress Block Theme?

A block theme is a modern WordPress theme that uses blocks for all parts of a site, including headers, footers, and sidebars, relying on HTML templates and a theme.json file rather than PHP.

How does it handle theme patterns?

The skill manages filesystem-based patterns located in the patterns directory, allowing you to define layout presets that appear directly in the block inserter.
