Unlock the Future of Web Design: How Claude Cowork’s AI Plugin Transforms WordPress Building Overnight
AI is reshaping how people create websites.
Today, we’re releasing new Skills and a Claude Cowork plugin designed for vibe coders and anyone who wants to create WordPress themes, generate sites, and experiment with AI-assisted development. You’ll find that you don’t need to be technical at all.
These tools are in rapid development and changing constantly, but we wanted to get them into your hands now.
We believe this is where site building is headed.
WordPress site creator plugin for Claude Cowork
This new Claude Cowork plugin turns a conversation with Claude into a fully built WordPress site. Describe what you want, and it creates a complete block theme and deploys it to a local site running in WordPress Studio.
For example:
/create-site A website for my fitness coaching business. I help busy professionals get strong without living at the gym. I want to book discovery calls and share workout tips.
Claude kicks off by asking you about your site and then provides multiple design options. Iterate until you are happy, and then a few minutes later, you have a full WordPress block theme.
WordPress Studio provides you with a preview link you can send to anyone, and it also allows you to easily sync your completed site with WordPress.com.
How to get started with the plugin
There are two parts to set up: WordPress Studio (which runs your site locally) and the Cowork plugin (which generates the theme). The whole process takes about 10 minutes.
First, download and install WordPress Studio (macOS only for now). Open Studio, go to Settings → Preferences, and click “Enable the studio command in the terminal.”
Then open your terminal and run:
This confirms it’s working.
Next, connect Studio to Claude Desktop so Claude can create and manage your local WordPress sites.
In Claude Desktop, go to Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and add the following to your configuration file:
From here, replace /ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/ with the actual path where you cloned the wordpress-agent-skills repo on your computer. For example:
Quit Claude Desktop and reopen it.
Finally, install the Cowork plugin. In Cowork, open the plugins menu at the bottom of the left sidebar, select Add to marketplace from GitHub, and paste:
Install the Create WP Site plugin.
That’s it.
Run the /create-site command in Cowork (or select it from the plugins menu) and describe the site you want to build.
*Note: This is a developer preview. Things will break, and results will vary. That’s expected — we’re sharing it early because we want your feedback. If you run into issues, file them on GitHub.
Skills that power it
Alongside the plugin, we’re sharing the Skills that make it work. Skills are reusable instruction sets that teach AI assistants how to perform specific tasks — think of them as the next evolution of prompts.
We have skills for:
The best part is you can use these Skills just about anywhere, including ChatGPT, Codex, or your favorite vibe coding tool.
These Skills are in active development and changing weekly. But they’re already producing themes worth shipping, and we expect results to only improve.
