# WP PHPStan

## When to use

Use this skill when working on PHPStan in a WordPress codebase, for example:

- setting up or updating `phpstan.neon` / `phpstan.neon.dist`
- generating or updating `phpstan-baseline.neon`
- fixing PHPStan errors via WordPress-friendly PHPDoc (REST requests, hooks, query results)
- handling third-party plugin/theme classes safely (stubs/autoload/targeted ignores)

## Inputs required

- `wp-project-triage` output (run first if you haven't)
- Whether adding/updating Composer dev dependencies is allowed (stubs).
- Whether changing the baseline is allowed for this task.

## Procedure

### 0) Discover PHPStan entrypoints (deterministic)
1. Inspect PHPStan setup (config, baseline, scripts):
   - `node skills/wp-phpstan/scripts/phpstan_inspect.mjs`

Prefer the repo’s existing `composer` script (e.g. `composer run phpstan`) when present.
