New experiment: WordPress Site Generator 🤖 github.com/chubes4/wp-sit… Fully autonomous 4 agent loop generating Playground Blueprints for WooCommerce and WordPress sites at scale from static HTML 1. Idea Generator - Posts ideas as GitHub issues 2. Designer - Creates website design specs from GitHub issues 3. Static Site Generator - Generates static HTML websites from design specs 4. Homeboy produces Playground Blueprint, adds PR comment with static import quality stats 5. PHP Transformer Iterator - opens PRs upstream in the HTML -> Blocks pipeline to improve quality Playground URLs load each imported site in the browser as real block themes Do we need to teach our agents block markup, or just perfect the HTML to Blocks pipeline?

Standard reports show numbers. WooCommerce for Claude’s prebuilt workflows connect them. Run a slash command to get a guided AI review of your store’s revenue, products, customers, refunds, channels, payments, shipping, tax, and catalogue health. developer.woocommerce.com/2026/05/14/pre…

WooCommerce for Claude is really shaping up.

My speed month project: what if WordPress was an OS you interact with in an open canvas... The canvas holds the objects (posts, pages, media, etc) organized to your needs and taste.

Getting excited about the potential for the WordPress MCP Adaptor. When I ask what it can do on my site, I start seeing my most important plugins show up.

Our friends at @jetpack have been adding some really cool @WooCommerce-specific features to Jetpack Search (woocommerce.com/products/jetpa…). Should land in the next release, and will super-power on-site search for Woo stores.

My refreshed blog: unfoldingneurons.com

I can confidently say I had the most fun I've ever had working on my own blog while using `studio code`. What a time to be alive. "Pull my website from production" ...talk with the agent, use `/annotate` to point out what changes I want made, try and throw away things that don't feel right, generate images, search my local system... "Push to production" Done. developer.wordpress.com/docs/developer…

I'm not sure what you are asking about, but for now WooCommerce Core will ship with basic abilities. We will likely expand on it in the future, but other more workflow type abilities will surface elsewhere (like developer.woocommerce.com/2026/05/07/woo…). Something else that is being worked on is a skill for implementing abilities in the Woo context that should make it easier for folks to use agents to add more bespoke things for their context (and yes, build on top of what was just released).

@nerrad Is this the thing I read that someone was putting purpose behind the abilities too to get relevant information or was that rather building on top of this?

We learned from the initial implementation of Abilities for WooCommerce and this iteration applies those learnings: developer.woocommerce.com/2026/05/12/mcp…

Uncomfortable retrospection... unfoldingneurons.com/2026/what-do-y…

I've never been more excited for WooCommerce. Here's a few of the PRs you can check out and features you can give feedback on in the Woo repo 🧵

As a part of #radicalspeedmonth, the next step is going through WooCommerce owned extensions and add an initial set of abilities to them as well.

Strangely cativating.

Just saying, “blast radius” wasn’t really in my vocabulary until this year.

Really nice little improvement that makes our REST doc consumption more agent and human friendly. Bonus, they live close to the actual code. developer.woocommerce.com/2026/05/08/new…

Just shared meetomattic.com as a resource for distributed companies: 700+ places @automattic teams have stayed during meetups around the world.

@se_nadir HB! Growing up!

Had my 29th yesterday while in NYC. I fully understand the hype, happy to be spending it here

Very cool to see @WordPress in the @p0 @paraga @travers00 Museum of Human Web ☺️museum.parallel.ai/items/wordpress
