Claude Subagents for WordPress Development

This project features a set of preconfigured Claude-Code subagents designed to streamline development, review, and testing of WordPress plugins and block themes. These subagents incorporate agent-os WordPress coding standards to help developers delegate work to specialized AI assistants while maintaining consistent quality and security.
