# Build with WordPress Claude Code Plugin

Describe a website in plain English, get a complete WordPress block theme deployed to your local Studio site — ready to push to WordPress.com or Pressable.

## What this does

Building WordPress themes from scratch is complex — theme.json, block markup, template parts, design systems, responsive layouts. This plugin handles all of it. You describe your site (e.g., "A landing page for my pottery studio called Clay & Fire"), pick from 3 generated design directions, and get a fully deployed theme on a local WordPress Studio site.

There are two workflows:

- **`/quick-build`** — Fast, single-session flow. Describe your site, review the spec, pick a design, and get a live theme in minutes.
- **`/design-site`** — Multi-phase professional pipeline with style tile iteration, page layout reviews, full-page mockups, and a live design gallery that auto-refreshes as artifacts are generated.

## Prerequisites

1. **Claude Code** — [Install Claude Code](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code/overview) if you haven't already.
2. **WordPress Studio** — A local WordPress environment from Automattic. [Download Studio](https://developer.wordpress.com/studio/), then enable the CLI so the `studio` command is available in your terminal ([CLI docs](https://developer.wordpress.com/docs/developer-tools/studio/cli/)).
3. **Node.js 18+** — Needed by the bundled block markup validator that runs after theme generation.
