[Open in a new tab →](https://youtu.be/b4o6ntxa73A) Eight slash commands ## Shortcuts for the most common WordPress edits. Or just talk to Claude in plain English. The slash commands are accelerators, not gates. `/respira:connect-site`Connect a WordPress site for the first time. `/respira:edit-page`Edit any page on a connected site. `/respira:add-section`Add a new section: hero, testimonials, FAQ, anything. `/respira:duplicate-page`Make a safe copy of a page to experiment with. `/respira:preview-changes`See what is on a page in your browser. `/respira:audit-site`Check accessibility, SEO, or performance. `/respira:undo-last-change`Roll back the most recent edit. Always available. `/respira:help`Show the menu and support paths. Safe by default ## “I don’t like it. Please undo.” Claude confirms, then rolls it back. Every edit is bracketed by a snapshot before, a render check after, and an undo path that always works. You will never have to dig through a database or a backup tool to recover from an AI edit. ![Claude conversation. User says I don't like it, please undo. Claude responds: On it. Rolling back the custom CSS now. Done. Back to the original Whitman and Sons dark navy. Section background confirmed at rgb(10, 14, 22), exactly where it started.](https://www.respira.press/hero/respira-cowork-undo.png) Real session in Cowork. *Whitman & Sons* client site, May 2026. - **Snapshot before every write.** No exceptions, no opt-out. - **Render-validated after.** The actual rendered page is checked against intent. - **Honest partial reporting.** If only part of an edit landed, Claude tells you exactly which part. - **One command rollback.** `/respira:undo-last-change` shows what it is reverting and waits for confirmation before restoring. No surprises in either direction. 19 page builders supported ## If you build it, Respira can edit it. Builder detection runs before every edit so the right adapter handles the write: Elementor v3 sections, Divi 5 modules, Bricks containers, Gutenberg blocks, all native. - Gutenberg - Elementor - Divi 4 - Divi 5 - Bricks - Oxygen Classic - Oxygen 6 - Beaver Builder - Breakdance - Flatsome - YOOtheme Pro - Avada - Brizy - Visual Composer - WPBakery - Spectra - Kadence Blocks - GenerateBlocks 30 bundled skills ## A full crew, riding inside Cowork. Skills auto-activate when the conversation matches their description. You do not have to invoke them. You do not have to remember their names. ### Always-on safety + posture 4 skills `wordpress-editing-safety` Snapshot before write, render validation after, honest reporting if anything is partial. `page-builder-detection` Identifies which of 19 builders the page uses before any edit, so the right write path is chosen. `multi-site-context` Keeps track of which site you are working on across many connected client sites. `respira-workflow` Sets the visible, patient, honest posture Respira uses inside Cowork. ### Audits, optimizers, and onboarding 10 skills `wordpress-site-dna` Archaeological audit. Detects all builders, audits plugins, maps content, finds orphaned shortcodes, scores performance and security. `technical-debt-audit` Orphaned shortcodes from deleted plugins, unused plugins, database bloat, unused media, builder data from inactive builders. `mobile-experience-report` Responsive breakpoint problems, text sizing, column stacking failures, navigation behavior, device-by-device. `seo-aeo-amplifier` On-page SEO and Answer Engine Optimization. Schema generation (Article, FAQ, HowTo, Product), duplicate-first writes. `internal-link-builder` Maps topic relationships, finds high-value linking opportunities, presents a plan for approval before any edit. `content-portability` Export pages, posts, custom posts to portable packages with builder data and media. Import elsewhere with smart ID remapping. `wordpress-ai-image-optimizer` Downloads images, compresses, converts to WebP, resizes, renames, re-uploads, and updates every reference. Hundreds at a time. `woocommerce-health-check` Checkout problems, cart errors, AJAX mismatches, caching issues, payment gateway setup, SSL enforcement. `site-onboarding` First-run onboarding for a connected site. Verifies connectivity, discovers architecture, produces a site briefing. `respira-setup-assistant` Diagnoses connection issues. Resolves timeouts, 401s, 403s, version mismatches, missing API keys, plugin not installed. ### Builder migrations 16 skills Full-site migrations between builders. Audit pages, map elements, build a migration plan, write to duplicates so the live site stays untouched until you approve. - `migrate-elementor-to-gutenberg` - `migrate-elementor-to-bricks` - `migrate-elementor-to-breakdance` - `migrate-elementor-to-oxygen` - `migrate-divi-to-gutenberg` - `migrate-divi-to-bricks` - `migrate-divi-to-breakdance` - `migrate-oxygen-to-bricks` - `migrate-oxygen-to-breakdance` - `migrate-beaver-builder-to-gutenberg` - `migrate-beaver-builder-to-bricks` - `migrate-wpbakery-to-gutenberg` - `migrate-wpbakery-to-bricks` - `migrate-thrive-architect-to-gutenberg` - `migrate-visual-composer-to-gutenberg` - `migrate-brizy-to-gutenberg` How an edit runs ## Four checks between Claude and your live site. Respira sits between Claude and your WordPress sites. Every write is bracketed by a snapshot and a render check. 1 Detect the builder Before any edit, Respira identifies which of the 16 supported builders the page uses, so the right adapter handles it. 2 Snapshot first A point-in-time copy of the page is recorded. Always. No exceptions. 3 Render-validate After the write, Respira fetches the rendered page and compares it against intent. Partial outcomes are reported honestly. 4 One-click rollback If anything looks off, run `/respira:undo-last-change` and the page is back where it started. Install ## Two ways in. Pick whichever Anthropic gives you. Once approved ### From the Anthropic plugin marketplace 1. Open Cowork, go to **Customize → Plugins** and search *Respira for WordPress* under the **Anthropic / Partners** tabs. 2. Click **Install**. Done. The Anthropic / Partners tabs won't surface Respira until the directory listing is approved (in review). Use the Personal route on the right today. Available right now ### Add the marketplace in Cowork 1. In Claude, open **Cowork → Customize → Plugins**. 2. Click the **Personal** tab (next to Anthropic / Partners), then the **+** button. 3. Choose **Add marketplace → Add from a repository** and enter: `respira-press/cowork-plugin-wordpress` 4. Click **Sync**, then on the Respira plugin page click **Install**. 5. When the *"This plugin includes local MCP servers"* notice appears, that's expected, it's the `respira-wordpress` connector running locally. Click **Continue**. 6. Optional: prefer a zip? [Download the latest source zip](https://github.com/respira-press/cowork-plugin-wordpress/archive/refs/heads/main.zip) and load it via **\+ → Upload plugin** instead. [ View on GitHub ](https://github.com/respira-press/cowork-plugin-wordpress) [ Download zip ](https://github.com/respira-press/cowork-plugin-wordpress/archive/refs/heads/main.zip) #### After install, connect every site with a one-time code: Open the [Respira dashboard](https://www.respira.press/dashboard/mcp), go to MCP Setup and pick **Claude Cowork**. In step 2, press **Connect Cowork** and paste the one-time code into Cowork (or run `/respira:connect-site`, which walks you through it). The code carries every site on your account, no key to paste, and is good for 5 minutes. **On a Mac** that is the whole setup: the code saves your sites to `~/.respira/config.json` and every new chat reads it. Prefer a file? Under **didn't open, or prefer a file?**, download `config.json` and move it into place with one Terminal line: `mkdir -p ~/.respira && mv ~/Downloads/config.json ~/.respira/config.json`. **On Windows**, Cowork runs the Respira server inside its own sandbox, which cannot see files on your C: drive and may not keep the code's setup between chats. For a setup that lasts, also install the Respira extension for Claude Desktop (pick **Claude Desktop** on the same page, then **Download .mcpb** and paste your setup code). It runs on Claude's own runtime, so it needs no Node.js and no file. The Cowork plugin's own server needs [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) on your computer. If no Respira tools appear, check `node -v`, then restart the computer, not only Claude. New to running many sites from one place? The full walkthrough, connecting every site, choosing what the AI can do, and grouping sites with Site Packs, is in [this guide](https://www.respira.press/blog/connect-multiple-wordpress-sites). You will need a Respira account.
