WP-CLI
Snippets are folders on disk, so the terminal suits them. wp sleek byte
manages snippets without the workspace, for a deploy script, a CI pipeline or
a coding agent. The CLI reference lists every
command with its arguments and options, and wp help sleek byte prints the
same on a site.
A snippet’s id is its folder path inside its source, such as my-snippet;
file paths are relative to the source, such as my-snippet/index.php.
Snippets
wp sleek byte snippet list --format=json
wp sleek byte snippet get my-snippet --files --format=json
wp sleek byte snippet create my-snippet --title="My Snippet" --hook=wp_head
wp sleek byte snippet disable my-snippet
wp sleek byte snippet enable my-snippet
wp sleek byte snippet delete my-snippet --yes
wp sleek byte snippet list shows each snippet’s context, hook, source and
whether it would run right now, judged by its enabled, environments and
schedule; conditions are not evaluated. wp sleek byte snippet get with
--files and --format=json includes every file’s content.
wp sleek byte snippet create writes a snippet.json and an index.php
holding only <?php into the first source, and refuses hooks that have
already fired when snippets load. wp sleek byte snippet disable is the fastest way to
switch off a broken snippet on a live site.
Files and checks
wp sleek byte file update my-snippet/index.php --from-file=index.php
cat style.css | wp sleek byte file update my-snippet/style.css --stdin
wp sleek byte file delete my-snippet/legacy.php --yes
wp sleek byte test --snippet=my-snippet
wp sleek byte file update writes the file as given, creating its folders,
and does not check it. wp sleek byte test runs the check the workspace runs
before saving: it parses the PHP for syntax errors and refuses shell execution
functions and variable function calls, without running the code. With
--snippet it checks the snippet’s index.php only. It exits with an error
when the check fails, so it can gate a deploy.
Errors and export
wp sleek byte errors list my-snippet
wp sleek byte errors clear my-snippet
wp sleek byte export my-snippet --zip --dest=/tmp
wp sleek byte errors list prints a snippet’s
runtime error log, and clearing it lets a
snippet stopped by repeated fatal errors run again. wp sleek byte export
builds a standalone plugin from a snippet and
prints its path; without --dest it writes into uploads/sleek-byte-exports.
