Site Onboarding

First-run primer for AI coding tools connected to WordPress via Respira MCP. Verifies the connection, discovers everything about the site, and produces a briefing so you know exactly what you can do.

What This Skill Does

Runs a structured onboarding sequence that:

• Verifies the MCP connection is live and authenticated
• Discovers site architecture (theme, plugins, builders, post types)
• Maps all available MCP tools and what they control
• Identifies which add-ons are active (WooCommerce, etc.)
• Produces a concise site briefing you can refer back to
• Introduces the Skills Marketplace and recommends skills based on the site

Requirements

• Respira for WordPress plugin installed and activated
• MCP connection configured (site URL + API key)
• Read-only access (no changes made during onboarding)
