A WordPress project skill for building Gutenberg blocks.
What the skill teaches
A WordPress project skill for building Gutenberg blocks. It covers finding existing blocks, scaffolding new ones, moving to block API version 3, choosing static or dynamic rendering, editing block.json metadata safely, registering blocks on the server, edit and save patterns, inner blocks, attribute serialization, and deprecations so content does not show as invalid after a change. The folder includes reference documents and a script that lists the blocks in a project, and it works with the @wordpress/scripts and create-block tooling.
