wp-build-tools

Use when setting up, configuring, or debugging the JavaScript/CSS build pipeline for a WordPress plugin — @wordpress/scripts, webpack (webpack.config.js, entry points, externals), Vite, block editor asset compilation with block.json, enqueueing built assets with .asset.php dependency files, wp_enqueue_script / wp_localize_script, Sass/SCSS/PostCSS compilation, TypeScript support, register_block_type, or reusing a JS/CSS library already bundled by a host plugin (EDD, WooCommerce, Elementor). Triggers: "npm run build fails", "webpack config error", "my script is not loading", "set up @wordpress/scripts", "enqueue my block assets", "why is my CSS not compiling", ".asset.php not found", "how do I reuse this bundled library", "TypeScript in a WP plugin", "block.json attributes", "missing dependency in build", "wp_enqueue_script not loading", "externals in webpack", "Vite for WordPress", "Sass not compiling", "PostCSS setup", "build output is in the wrong folder", "npm ci vs npm install", "externalize React from my bundle", "wp-scripts lint-js", "enqueue with version hash", "register_block_type from PHP". Not for: block registration logic — use the official `wp-block-development` skill.
