description	Initialize a new WordPress theme with the wp-blocks-dev block development workflow

Read [@/knowledge/acf-blocks/conventions.md](/knowledge/acf-blocks/conventions.md), [@/knowledge/tailwind/build-pipeline.md](/knowledge/tailwind/build-pipeline.md), and [@/knowledge/typescript/tsup-setup.md](/knowledge/typescript/tsup-setup.md), then:

1. Collect project info

Ask for all answers before proceeding:

• Project name — human-readable, e.g. My Client Site
• Theme slug — kebab-case, e.g. my-client-site
• Author — developer or agency name

2. Confirm optional features

Default yes for all:

• Tailwind v4 — CSS build pipeline with per-developer CSS support
• TypeScript + tsup — JS bundler for entry files and block scripts
• Per-developer CSS — multi-dev Tailwind setup

3. Check for existing files

If a file already exists, ask whether to overwrite or skip. Never silently overwrite.

4. Scaffold the theme

Create under themes/{slug}/:

themes/{slug}/
├── style.css           Theme header (Name, Author, Text Domain, Version)
├── index.php           <?php // Silence is golden.
├── functions.php       require register-blocks + enqueue-assets, PX_PROJECT_NAME constant
├── blocks.json         []
├── QUICKSTART.md
├── blocks/
├── inc/
│   ├── register-blocks.php
│   └── enqueue-assets.php
├── helpers/
└── assets/
    ├── js/
    └── css/

QUICKSTART.md content:

# Quick Start
- `/wp-blocks-dev:create-block <name>` — scaffold a new block
- `/wp-blocks-dev:audit-blocks` — audit all blocks against conventions

5. If Tailwind selected

Follow knowledge/tailwind/build-pipeline.md. Copy the template:

mkdir -p themes/{slug}/scripts themes/{slug}/assets/css
cp $(claude plugin path wp-blocks-dev)/templates/tailwind.js themes/{slug}/scripts/tailwind.js

Remind user to copy tailwind-theme-loader.php into mu-plugins/.

6. If TypeScript selected

Follow knowledge/typescript/tsup-setup.md. Create tsup.config.ts, tsconfig.json, and assets/js/index.entry.ts.

7. Confirm completion

Print a summary of what was created and what was skipped. Next steps:

• Activate the theme in WordPress
• Run pnpm install && pnpm build if Tailwind or TS was selected
• Use /wp-blocks-dev:create-block to add the first block
