## What it does

The skill evaluates backend PHP against WooCommerce conventions. It flags standalone functions and blocks direct instantiation with `new` instead of `$container->get()`. Classes belong in `src/Internal/` unless explicitly declared public. It also checks for snake_case names, WordPress Yoda conditions, and concise docblocks with mandatory `@since` tags.

For unit tests, the skill requires naming the subject under test `$sut` instead of `$instance`. Test docblocks must include `@testdox`. In UI text, labels and buttons must follow sentence case like "Save changes", with exceptions strictly reserved for brand names like WooPayments or acronyms.

Each finding report includes the issue type, exact line location, standard reference, and a fix example. The skill relies on detailed guidelines defined in `woocommerce-backend-dev` and `woocommerce-copy-guidelines`.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add secondsky/claude-skills --skill woocommerce-code-review -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/woocommerce-code-review/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/woocommerce-code-review/

### Codex

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add secondsky/claude-skills --skill woocommerce-code-review -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/woocommerce-code-review/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install secondsky/claude-skills woocommerce-code-review
```

```bash
npx skills add secondsky/claude-skills --skill woocommerce-code-review -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/secondsky/claude-skills --path plugins/woocommerce-code-review/skills/woocommerce-code-review
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/woocommerce-code-review/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add secondsky/claude-skills --skill woocommerce-code-review -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/secondsky/claude-skills/tree/HEAD/plugins/woocommerce-code-review/skills/woocommerce-code-review/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- catch direct new calls on container-managed dependencies
- enforce sentence case across UI text strings
- flag missing @since and @testdox annotations
- replace $instance variable names with $sut in test suites

## Example prompts
- Review my changes in `src/Internal/Orders/OrderController.php` against WooCommerce standards
- Check this PR diff for UI copy issues and missing docblocks
- Audit `tests/Unit/PaymentTest.php` for test conventions and naming rules

# WooCommerce Code Review

Review code changes against WooCommerce coding standards and conventions.

## Critical Violations to Flag

### Backend PHP Code

Consult the `woocommerce-backend-dev` skill for detailed standards. Using these standards as guidance, flag these violations and other similar ones:

**Architecture & Structure:**

- **Standalone functions** - Must use class methods ([file-entities.md](../woocommerce-backend-dev/file-entities.md))
- **Using `new` for DI-managed classes** - Classes in `src/` must use `$container->get()` ([dependency-injection.md](../woocommerce-backend-dev/dependency-injection.md))
- **Classes outside `src/Internal/`** - Default location unless explicitly public ([file-entities.md](../woocommerce-backend-dev/file-entities.md))

**Naming & Conventions:**

- **camelCase naming** - Must use snake_case for methods/variables/hooks ([code-entities.md](../woocommerce-backend-dev/code-entities.md))
- **Yoda condition violations** - Must follow WordPress Coding Standards ([coding-conventions.md](../woocommerce-backend-dev/coding-conventions.md))

**Documentation:**

- **Missing `@since` annotations** - Required for public/protected methods and hooks ([code-entities.md](../woocommerce-backend-dev/code-entities.md))
- **Missing docblocks** - Required for all hooks and methods ([code-entities.md](../woocommerce-backend-dev/code-entities.md))
- **Verbose docblocks** - Keep concise, one line is ideal ([code-entities.md](../woocommerce-backend-dev/code-entities.md))

**Data Integrity:**

- **Missing validation** - Must verify state before deletion/modification ([data-integrity.md](../woocommerce-backend-dev/data-integrity.md))

**Testing:**

- **Using `$instance` in tests** - Must use `$sut` variable name ([unit-tests.md](../woocommerce-backend-dev/unit-tests.md))
- **Missing `@testdox`** - Required in test method docblocks ([unit-tests.md](../woocommerce-backend-dev/unit-tests.md))
- **Test file naming** - Must follow convention for `includes/` vs `src/` ([unit-tests.md](../woocommerce-backend-dev/unit-tests.md))

### UI Text & Copy

Consult the `woocommerce-copy-guidelines` skill. Flag:

- **Title Case in UI** - Must use sentence case ([sentence-case.md](../woocommerce-copy-guidelines/sentence-case.md))
    - Wrong: "Save Changes", "Order Details", "Payment Options"
    - Correct: "Save changes", "Order details", "Payment options"
```
