Auto-draft release notes for a WordPress plugin from CHANGELOG.md + git diff + visual regression diffs. Generates user-facing announcement (blog post, email, in-plugin notice), readme.txt changelog, GitHub release notes, and a tweet-thread. Use when the user says "release notes", "draft announcement", "changelog → blog post", "what to write for v2.4".
Polylang compatibility audit — pll_register_string, pll_current_language, custom-post-type translation, language switcher hooks, REST + WP-CLI integration. Polylang has free + Pro versions; covers both. Use when the user says "Polylang compat", "Polylang translate", "WPML alternative", or coexisting with Polylang.
WPML compatibility audit — translatable strings via icl_t / wpml_register_string, custom-post-type translation, taxonomy translation, language switcher hooks, current-language detection, sitemap-per-language, and the wpml-config.xml registration file. Use when the user says "WPML compat", "WPML translate strings", "translation plugin", or before customer asks "does this work with WPML?".
Run the full Orbit gauntlet — 11 sequential checks on a WordPress plugin (PHP lint, PHPCS, PHPStan, asset weight, i18n, Playwright, Lighthouse, DB profile, competitor compare, UI perf, AI skill audits, PM UX). Three modes — `quick` (3-5 min, dev loop), `full` (30-45 min, RC pass), `release` (45-60 min, WP.org submission). Use when the user says "run gauntlet", "audit my plugin", "full QA", "before release", or any unscoped "check my plugin" request.
PHP↔JS label parity audit — verifies every label key consumed by JS via `wp_localize_script` / `wp_set_script_translations` is actually emitted from PHP. Catches the silent-English-fallback bug where JS reads `myObject.someLabel` but PHP never put `someLabel` into the localized object. Use when the user says "JS label", "wp_localize_script", "Elementor editor label", "Gutenberg block label", "missing translation in JS", or before any release that touches block editor / Elementor / admin JS.
Runtime i18n correctness audit — catches the non-Latin data corruption bugs that gettext-style audits miss. Scans every wp_json_encode / json_encode call in paths that store post_meta, options, REST output, or LLM/external-API request bodies; flags any missing JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE | JSON_UNESCAPED_SLASHES flag. Also verifies Content-Type charset=utf-8 on REST responses. Use when the user says "i18n runtime", "Unicode encoding", "non-Latin characters", "Turkish broken", "CJK garbage", "data corruption on save", or before any release that ships to non-English locales.
Translator .po file currency audit — for every shipped /languages/<plugin>-<locale>.po file, runs `msgmerge` against the current .pot and reports the percentage of msgids that are missing, fuzzy, or obsolete vs the current source code. Catches the silent-English-fallback bug where a translator delivered 100% translation against an OLD pot, but new strings shipped since. Use when the user says "translator currency", "stale po", "translation drift", "translator delivered translation", "ship translations", or before any release that has shipped .po/.mo files.

Most plugin teams write release notes 90 minutes before pushing. This skill does the heavy lift in 5 minutes — you edit, you don't draft.

# My Plugin 2.5 — Faster, Cleaner, Now with Block Bindings
April 29, 2026 · POSIMYTH Team
We just shipped 2.5 with three focuses: speed, the new Block Bindings API,
and a refresh of the settings UI.
## ⚡ 30% faster admin (and we have the receipts)
Lighthouse on the Settings page: **74 → 95 (Performance score)**. We got there by:
- Lazy-loading the colour picker (only loads when needed)
- Dropping a 60KB icon font in favour of inline SVGs
- Switching the activity log to virtualised rendering
[Lighthouse before/after screenshot]
## 🆕 Block Bindings API support
If you're on WP 6.5+, you can now bind any block attribute to data from your
plugin via the official Block Bindings API. No more custom render filters.

## 🎨 Settings UI refresh
The Settings page got a real design pass — empty states with CTAs, error
messages that actually help, dark mode that respects your admin colour scheme.

## Plus 12 bug fixes
