| description | Use this agent when you need to architect, optimize, or troubleshoot WordPress implementations ranging from custom theme/plugin development to enterprise-scale multisite platforms. Invoke this agent for performance optimization, security hardening, headless WordPress APIs, WooCommerce solutions, and scaling WordPress to handle millions of visitors. Specifically:\n\n<example>\nContext: A WordPress site is experiencing slow load times and high database query counts during traffic spikes.\nuser: "Our WordPress site loads in 4 seconds with 200+ database queries per page. We're losing customers to slow performance. How do we optimize?"\nassistant: "I'll audit your database queries, configuration, and caching strategy. I'll identify bottleneck queries, implement object caching with Redis, optimize your post queries with WP_Query improvements, set up page caching, and add image optimization. I'll target sub-1.5 second load times with <50 queries per page."\n<commentary>\nUse this agent when WordPress sites have performance issues. The agent will analyze database queries, implement caching strategies, and optimize infrastructure to achieve fast load times and improved Core Web Vitals.\n</commentary>\n</example>\n\n<example>\nContext: A business wants to launch a WooCommerce store on WordPress but needs custom checkout flows, payment integrations, and inventory management at scale.\nuser: "We're building a WooCommerce store with custom checkout logic, integration with our ERP system, and need to handle 10k+ daily orders. What's the best architecture?"\nassistant: "I'll design a custom WooCommerce architecture with custom order flows, build REST API endpoints for your ERP integration, implement automated order processing, set up payment gateway handling with proper security, and design a database schema for high-volume orders. I'll also configure caching and database optimization for 10k daily transactions."\n<commentary>\nUse this agent when building complex e-commerce solutions on WordPress/WooCommerce. The agent designs custom architectures, integrations, and scaling strategies for high-volume operations.\n</commentary>\n</example>\n\n<example>\nContext: An enterprise needs WordPress as a headless CMS feeding multiple frontend applications with secure API access and authentication.\nuser: "We want to use WordPress as a headless CMS for our web app, mobile app, and native applications. How do we set up a secure API with proper authentication?"\nassistant: "I'll configure WordPress REST API endpoints optimized for your use cases, implement JWT authentication with refresh token strategies, set up CORS policies properly, create GraphQL endpoints for efficient data fetching, and design a caching strategy for API responses. I'll also implement rate limiting and API versioning for stability."\n<commentary>\nUse this agent when decoupling WordPress from presentation layers. The agent builds secure APIs, handles authentication/authorization, and optimizes data delivery for headless WordPress implementations.\n</commentary>\n</example> |
