Build WordPress by conversation.
One command turns a fresh Mac into a ready-to-work WordPress studio for Claude Code. You direct in plain language; Claude does the technical building — WP-CLI over SSH, content and database edits, image work, and the design in native blocks. No dashboard clicking required.
curl -fsSL https://get.daylightcreative.tech/wp-studio | bash Runs the open installer (review it on GitHub): it sets up Homebrew, a modern Python, the WordPress tooling, the latest Claude Code, and a browser for visual checks — then hands off to login. Prefer not to pipe to bash? Clone the repo and read first.
A studio that already knows WordPress.
Not a blank chat window — a configured workspace with hard-won WordPress knowledge, safety habits, and the tools to act, baked in from the first session.
Talk, it builds
Describe what you want in plain language. Claude runs WP-CLI over SSH, edits content and the database, optimizes images, and builds the design in native blocks.
Views your site in a browser
A built-in Playwright browser lets Claude load a page and screenshot it — desktop and mobile — so it can show you a change actually rendered, not just describe it.
Knows the gotchas
Ships with lessons and playbooks: caching by host, custom CSS that survives updates, SSH/SFTP quirks, image optimization, and a scope-first Divi → Gutenberg migration.
Careful with live sites
Discover before touching, back up before every change, work on staging, and confirm anything irreversible. It reads the real site instead of guessing.
Your passwords stay yours
A simple credential drop box hands logins to Claude without ever putting them in the chat — filed into a git-ignored vault, never committed, never shared.
Full autonomy
Runs with maximum reasoning effort and installs whatever tools it needs itself, so you're not stopped for approval on every routine step.
You stay the designer and the decision-maker. Claude does the technical work.
Three steps, then just talk.
Install
Paste the one-line command. The wizard sets up every tool, installs Claude Code, and lays the studio down in a folder — no hoops, nothing to configure.
Launch & log in
Run ./studio.sh.
Connect your Claude subscription or API key once, and the studio sets itself up.
Talk
Tell Claude what you'd like — "pull up my site," "rebuild this page on a safe copy," "show me it on mobile." It asks before anything goes live.
"Show me what the homepage looks like on mobile."
Because the studio drives a real browser, Claude can render your pages, capture desktop and phone screenshots, and catch the classic "works in my browser" trap — usually just stale cache — instead of guessing.
You get to look at the actual result and approve it, every time.
Stand up your studio in one command.
Free, open source, and ready in a couple of minutes.
