Triage Squad GitHubGitHub GitHub is a website that offers online implementation of git repositories that can easily be shared, copied and modified by other developers. Public repositories are free to host, private repositories require a paid subscription. GitHub introduced the concept of the ‘pull request’ where code changes done in branches by contributors can be reviewed and discussed before being merged by the repository owner. https://github.com/ triage: Biweekly on Thursdays 07:00 UTC

Coffee Hour: Weekly on Saturday 13:00 UTC – Currently holds these things

As part of the WordPress Facilitator Training Program, we have developed a set of AI prompts and a Claude pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website. They can extend functionality or add new features to your WordPress websites. WordPress plugins are written in the PHP programming language and integrate seamlessly with WordPress. These can be free in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory https://wordpress.org/plugins/ or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party. to help contributors create standardized WordPress learning materials more efficiently. These tools are now available in the Learn WordPress GitHub repository for anyone to use.

What are these tools?

These are purpose-built prompts usable in any AI platform and a Claude plugin designed to assist with three coreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress. tasks in a standardized, WordPress way:

Co-writing course content for Learn WordPress, whether drafting new lessons or revising existing ones
Creating facilitation guides for 2-3 day workshops based on Learn WordPress courses
Creating facilitator slides to accompany those workshops

The key word here is standardized. Each tool follows a consistent structure and draws from existing Learn WordPress source content, so the outputs align with how we already do things on the Training Team.

What has been created so far?

These tools were used to produce the first complete facilitator toolkit for the Leading WordPress Education Programs course:

Together with the course itself, these form a repeatable toolkit that any facilitator can pick up to learn, teach, and run a WordPress workshop. We are lining up pilot workshops at schools in Bangladesh and India to test and refine these materials.

A note on AI as a co-creator

These tools are designed to assist, not replace, human contributors. AI is a powerful co-creator, but it is not the creator. Every piece of content produced with these tools still needs human supervision, guidance, and review throughout the process. You bring the expertise, context, and judgment, and the AI helps you move faster and stay consistent. The quality of what we publish on Learn WordPress remains in our hands.

Get involved

Whether you are an experienced Training Team contributor or someone who has been looking for a way to start, these tools are here to lower the barrier:

Explore the tools: Visit the WordPress Facilitator Training Program folder in the Learn WordPress GitHub repo to find the prompts and Claude plugin.
Try them out: Pick a Learn WordPress course and experiment with creating a facilitation guide or slides using the prompts.
Share feedback: Open an issue in the repo or leave a comment on this post. What worked well? What could be improved?
Spread the word: If you know contributors or educators who have asked “where do I start?”, point them here.

We believe these tools can unlock content creation potential across the WordPress community by making it easier for more people to contribute high-quality learning materials. We are excited to see what you create with them.

This is a great initiative for the WordPress community! Standardizing content creation with AI while still keeping human review at the coreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress. is a smart approach. It can really help contributors save time and stay consistent. Excited to see how these tools evolve after the pilot workshops!
