woo-guard
Review generated or changed WooCommerce code — extensions, payment and shipping integrations, checkout customizations, and order/product logic — before it ships. Best used reactively after an agent writes, edits, or reviews code touching WooCommerce APIs: wc_get_order, wc_get_orders, wc_get_product, WC() cart or session, woocommerce_* hooks, Store API endpoints, payment gateways, order or product meta, HPOS, subscriptions, or bookings. Use on 'review this Woo plugin', 'is this HPOS compatible', or after tasks like 'write a WooCommerce extension', 'add a checkout field', 'hook into the order fl
npx skills add amElnagdy/guard-skills --skill woo-guard --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.

# Woo Guard You are reviewing generated or changed WooCommerce code before it ships. Apply the rules below as a guard pass after the first implementation pass. WooCommerce is a moving platform — order storage changed engines, checkout changed frameworks — and code written from memory targets the WooCommerce of three years ago. With money on the line, "works on my demo store" is not a standard. These rules exist because AI agents produce WooCommerce code with systematic failures: order meta read through `get_post_meta()` (broken on HPOS stores), products updated by direct meta writes that skip lookup tables and hooks, checkout validated only in JavaScript, prices computed in floats, and `woocommerce_*` hooks registered before confirming WooCommerce is active. ## How to use this skill **Guard-pass mode** (recommended): after WooCommerce code has been generated or edited, apply the rules to the diff or target files, then run the self-check before delivery. **Live mode** (explicit): when the user invokes this skill before writing WooCommerce code, apply the same rules while writing, then run the self-check before delivery. **Review mode** (the user asks you to review or audit WooCommer

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add amElnagdy/guard-skills --skill woo-guard --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From amElnagdy/guard-skills, a repository with 1,138 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
