AI is reshaping how people create websites.
Today, we’re releasing new Skills and a Claude Cowork plugin designed for vibe coders and anyone who wants to create WordPress themes, generate sites, and experiment with AI-assisted development. You’ll find that you don’t need to be technical at all.
These tools are in rapid development and changing constantly, but we wanted to get them into your hands now.
We believe this is where site building is headed.
WordPress site creator plugin for Claude Cowork
This new Claude Cowork plugin turns a conversation with Claude into a fully built WordPress site. Describe what you want, and it creates a complete block theme and deploys it to a local site running in WordPress Studio.
For example:
/create-site A website for my fitness coaching business. I help busy professionals get strong without living at the gym. I want to book discovery calls and share workout tips.
Claude kicks off by asking you about your site and then provides multiple design options. Iterate until you are happy, and then a few minutes later, you have a full WordPress block theme.
WordPress Studio provides you with a preview link you can send to anyone, and it also allows you to easily sync your completed site with WordPress.com.
The plugin is currently a developer preview, so to use it, clone this GitHub repo and follow the README instructions — or you can review our developer documentation for more information.
Skills that power it
Alongside the plugin, we’re sharing the Skills that make it work. Skills are reusable instruction sets that teach AI assistants how to perform specific tasks — think of them as the next evolution of prompts.
We have skills for:
- Site Specification, collecting important context and info about the site being created
- Site Design, creating multiple design options and helping with fonts, colors, and style
- WordPress Theme Creation, sticking to best practices to generate a working block theme
The best part is you can use these Skills just about anywhere, including ChatGPT, Codex, or your favorite vibe coding tool.
These Skills are in active development and changing weekly. But they’re already producing themes worth shipping, and we expect results to only improve.
Build with us
We’re in a significant period of change. There’s uncertainty. But there’s also opportunity, especially for site builders willing to experiment.
Try the new tools. Break them. Tell us what’s missing. Help us make them better.
We have the hosting solutions to make it easy to take your AI-created sites and share them with the world.
And watch this space. Claude Cowork is just the start; we want to help you build WordPress sites with your AI agent of choice.

Why, exactly are you promoting AI when the point of this sh*t is to get rid of human input? I mean, if we keep using AI, eventually we won’t be needing THIS site, because the bots will all be doing the blogging, and I don’t think they’ll not be paying YOU for sites like yours.
Thanks for sharing your concern. AI is reshaping the technology landscape quickly, and that can raise important questions. It’s important to remember that these tools are optional, and that the goal here is not to replace human creativity, but to support it.
I’m giving this a try.
this is a powerfull step towards AI-DRIVEN Website Development.it will help small business owners build professional sites quickly.
This feels like an important shift. Turning conversation into a working block theme lowers the barrier significantly, especially for non-technical creators. I’m particularly interested in how the Skills layer standardizes best practices instead of just generating raw code
3 months ago, before any of this existed, I wanted to edit an existing WordPress site with the help of AI and I just coded a plugin and MCP server for that.
the issue I faced was that the site I needed to edit was using Divi page builder and the ai coding tool was not able to follow the page structure. So I build my system so that it teaches Cursor/Codex/Claude Code the language of Divi, Elementor, WP Bakery and other 7 most popular page builders.
And since I did not want to risk breaking an existing page I created a safe guard by having the plugin work on a duplicate and then providing an approval system that rewrites the slugs so that the duplicate replaces the original.
If you want to give it a try, let me know.
