Examples

Theme Development Workflow
You: "Scaffold a child theme based on twentytwentyfour"
Claude: Uses wp_scaffold_theme → creates child theme files

You: "Install and activate it"
Claude: Uses wp_theme_activate → theme is live

You: "Create the homepage with a hero section and 3 feature cards"
Claude: Uses wp_post_create → creates page with HTML content
Plugin Management
You: "What plugins do I have installed?"
Claude: Uses wp_plugin_list → shows all plugins with status

You: "Install Contact Form 7 and WooCommerce"
Claude: Uses wp_plugin_install twice → both installed and activated
Database Operations
You: "I'm migrating from staging.example.com to example.com"
Claude: Uses wp_db_export → backup first
       Uses wp_search_replace (dry_run) → preview changes
       Uses wp_search_replace → apply changes
       Uses wp_cache_flush → clear cache
