How I do vibe coding in 3 steps (plus a Step 0)

Start with domain expertise
Vibe coding works best when you have enough domain expertise to set direction, ask precise questions, and validate the output.
Jam with an AI chat — then “lock in” a single strong prompt
I start by brainstorming with ChatGPT (or another chat model): goals, constraints, edge cases, and what “done” looks like.
I end by asking the AI to produce one clean prompt that includes:
- problem statement + scope (what to do / not do)

assumptions and constraints

Constitution: Spec‑Driven Development for WordPress Projects

Non‑negotiable principles that every specification, plan, task, and implementation MUST follow. Words MUST/SHOULD/MAY are to be interpreted per RFC 2119 semantics.

1) Purpose & Scope

This constitution governs WordPress plugins, themes, blocks, and headless integrations developed in this repository.
It constrains the /speckit.specify, /speckit.plan, /speckit.tasks, and /speckit.implement outputs. When in doubt, follow this constitution over any generated content.

To make this the default in Local, please vote

Local (localwp.com) + direnv + VS Code

This guide wires up Local (localwp.com) with direnv so your terminal & VS Code always use the correct WordPress environment for each Local site. It includes:

Installing the Local direnv add‑on from the 1.0.0 release tarball.
Shell hook instructions for macOS, Windows, and Linux.
Configure VS Code to inherit environment variables from the current Local shell session

Plausible roll-up for WordPress

Enable WordPress Customizer Preview on Mapped Domain

If you are using the WordPress MU Domain Mapping plugin to map domains on your WordPress Multisite, the preview feature in the WordPress Customizer will not function. To resolve this issue, save enable-customizer-preview-mapped-domain.php, as must-use plugin, in wp-content/mu-plugins.

Sticky WP Table Header

This plugin will make the table header sticky when you scroll down.

Save file in wp-content/mu-plugins

position: sticky is supported by most browsers.

Create a WordPress custom search

This is not a complete plugin, but a how-to. Want more, take a look at my WP Loop plugin. Search is in class-wp-loupe-search.php

Code below:

expects that you've created your own search() function, which returns an array with post id. (eg.: Eg.: [ [ 'id' => 1 ], [ 'id' => 2 ] ])
includes pagination
tested (using WP Loop plugin) with Twenty Twenty-Four and Twenty Twenty-Five
