Best for
Stopping an agent generating outdated WordPress patterns — pre-block themes, missing block deprecations that cause "Invalid block" errors, plugin code that skips the security conventions.
Not ideal for
Running or hosting a WordPress site. These teach how to build for WordPress; updates, backups and hosting are a host’s skill, not this set.
