WordPress.com News Read on blog or Reader Build WordPress Sites with AI: New Plugin and Skills for Claude Cowork By Glen Davies on February 13, 2026 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. You'll get a preview link you can send to anyone. And the theme can then be used on any WordPress site. To use the plugin, power up Claude Cowork, start a new chat, and ask Claude to 'Use this plugin' and give a link to this Github repo. Then tell it what you want to build.  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 To use them, just tell your AI to 'use this skill' and paste in the GitHub link above. It will know what to do. 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. And watch this space. Claude Cowork is just the start; we want to help you build WordPress sites with your AI agent of choice.  Comment Like WordPress.com News © 2026. Unsubscribe or manage your email subscriptions.
