    About This Skill

    What it does

    The WordPress Launch QA Gate transforms your AI agent into a senior technical reviewer that provides a definitive go/no-go decision for production readiness. It consolidates seven critical engineering domains—Code Quality, Security, Accessibility (WCAG 2.1 AA), SEO/Schema, AI Indexing, Core Web Vitals, and DevOps—into a single, auditable scorecard.

    How it works

    Unlike generic AI prompts that provide "tips," this skill enforces a strict production standard. It calibrates its rigor based on three launch tiers (Standard, Commercial, or Critical) and runs a verifiable checklist against your codebase or live site. It identifies "blocker-class" issues—like unsanitized inputs, missing nonces, or secrets in the repo—that immediately trigger a NO-GO verdict regardless of other scores.

    Why use this skill

    • Defensible Decisions: Move from "vibes" to objective scoring that non-technical stakeholders can trust.
    • Risk Mitigation: Catches high-impact security and accessibility defects before they become expensive post-launch incidents.
    • Prioritized Fixes: Generates a "Fix Order" using an Impact²/Effort formula to ensure your team works on the most critical blockers first.
    • Continuous Validation: Supports a RE-AUDIT mode to track deltas and verify that fixes actually moved the needle.

    Supported Tools & Standards

    The skill validates against the WordPress Coding Standards (WPCS), Axe-core for accessibility, Core Web Vitals targets, and industry-standard security practices for sanitization and escaping.

    Use Cases

    • Audit WordPress sites for production readiness using a 7-domain scorecard.
    • Verify if a theme meets WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility and security standards.
    • Prioritize launch blockers using an objective Impact²/Effort scoring system.
    • Track audit deltas between builds to verify that mission-critical bugs are fixed.
