Wp Playground
Spins up ephemeral WordPress instances in WebAssembly, either in the browser or locally via CLI, without Docker or a full LAMP stack. You get auto-mounting for plugins and themes, one-liner version switching for WP and PHP, and Xdebug support for actual breakpoint debugging. The blueprint system lets you script reproducible setups as JSON and share them as URLs or snapshots. It's legitimately fast for testing compatibility across versions or reproducing bug reports, but it's SQLite-backed and entirely disposable, so don't point it at real data. If you need native MySQL or obscure PHP extensions, fall back to wp-env.

WordPress Playground
This is a thin routing wrapper. Use it to pick the right Playground workflow, then load only the focused reference or skill needed for the task.
Procedure
- Identify the user intent: Blueprint authoring/review, local CLI execution, browser-only website/share link workflow, Xdebug/stuck CLI run, or a mixed Playground request.
- Route to the focused source below, loading more than one only when the request has multiple distinct parts.
- For mixed requests, delegate Blueprint JSON work to
blueprint, then return here for runtime, CLI, debugging, or sharing guidance.
