Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a WordPress plugin?

No. It is a set of instructions, references and helper scripts for an AI assistant. GenerateBlocks must be installed separately to render the generated native blocks.

Do I need GenerateBlocks Pro?

Not for every layout. Many static sections and normal post queries use the free plugin. Features such as the Pro accordion, tabs, carousel, overlays and forms require the relevant Pro version/configuration. Core Details is available for suitable simple disclosures.

Do I need GeneratePress?

Not merely to use the skills or GenerateBlocks blocks. Your theme controls template placement and can affect styling. Building a Website explains the architecture choices.

Do these skills connect to my website?

No. They can generate local files without website access. Direct edits need a separate authenticated browser/API/MCP connection and the relevant permissions.

Can I start without a post ID?

Yes. Use a random four-digit block-ID scope for the layout and check for collisions. Once a WordPress record exists, resolve its real ID for API operations. Existing valid block IDs do not need to be renamed merely because the record was created later.

Will the assistant create Global Styles or Design Tokens automatically?

It should ask first and default to local styling. Explicitly requesting one shared feature does not authorize the other. Existing references and ordinary theme inheritance are preserved.

Does native-only mean the page uses no JavaScript?

No. Native Pro components can load the plugin's own runtime assets. The default avoids adding a separate custom implementation or another builder to perform a job supported by native blocks.

Does a .skill file work in every chat app?

No universal upload behavior is promised. The file is an archive; clients differ in archive inspection, persistent installation and script execution. Use the supported workflow for your client or provide the extracted folder explicitly.

Does this save 82% of my tokens?

That figure measures the reduction in required instruction text for one documented reading path. It is not a claim about total tokens, cost, elapsed time or success rate. See Compatibility and Releases.

Why not just paste HTML into a Custom HTML block?

That does not produce the editable native block structure this project is designed for. Use the correct conversion skill and paste the generated WordPress block markup through Code editor.

Does zero invalid blocks mean the page is finished?

No. Content can be missing, CSS can target the wrong class, and theme rules can override padding even when block validation passes. Check the actual rendered content and the relevant states.

Can I use the beta kit on a production site?

Treat it as a local example first. Its shared system requires opt-in, IDs and URLs need mapping, and its mail sink/setup files are test infrastructure. Read the kit's instructions and verify the intended destination before reusing a composition.

How do I report a problem?

Use GitHub issues with a small reproducible example and the relevant versions. Start with Troubleshooting, and redact private data.
