Access and checks

How we review

Broad accessThe tool can change data, run commands or handle secrets.

Through MCP the skills read and change pages, posts and settings of a live site.
Page builder migrations overwrite page content.

This is third-party code. Review the repository files before installing.

What it does

The repository bundles 55 skills for agents that work on WordPress sites. They cover connection setup, site architecture discovery, conversion audits, internal linking, building pages in Elementor and Oxygen, moving layouts from Figma and HTML into Gutenberg, Bricks, Divi and Breakdance, and migrations between page builders. The skills rely on MCP tools from the Respira plugin for WordPress. The README cites more than 220 tools, and more than 330 with the WooCommerce add-on. Installation goes through `npx skills`, the Claude Code plugin is described in `.claude-plugin/plugin.json`, and the skill list is generated from `skills.json`.

Who it is for. Web developers and agencies that maintain client WordPress sites and hand routine work to an agent.

Good fit when

An Elementor site must move to Bricks or Gutenberg without a manual rebuild.
A Figma layout must be built in Divi or Gutenberg.
You need a conversion audit of a page with a list of fixes.
An agent connects to a site for the first time and needs a map of themes, plugins and content types.

Not a fit when

The site does not run WordPress.
The Respira plugin and its MCP cannot be installed on the site.
You need a one-line theme edit that plain code editing covers.

Example request

Run the site-onboarding skill on my WordPress site and describe the theme, page builders and plugins.

Limitations

Most skills are built for Respira MCP tools and do little without the plugin on the site. Some store-related skills need the WooCommerce add-on. The licensing terms of Respira itself are not described in the README, so check the project website. The skills can read site content and change pages, so run the first sessions on a staging copy and watch the rollbacks.

How to disable. Remove the installed skills with `npx skills` or by deleting their folders in the agent skills directory, and disable the Respira MCP in the client. Deactivate the plugin in the WordPress admin.
