What the skill teaches
A WordPress project skill on the rules for the WordPress.org plugin directory. It helps the agent review a plugin against the 18 directory guidelines, with detail on GPL compatibility and licence headers, upsell, freemium and trial patterns, naming, trademarks and slugs, and on running the Plugin Check tool and reading its results. It is meant for preparing a submission or understanding why one was rejected; automatic checks need a local WordPress install with WP-CLI and Plugin Check.
