It builds on WordPress Coding Standards and PHPCompatibilityWP, with additional WP Desk conventions and WooCommerce-aware configuration.

Installation

Usage

Copy the provided example files into your project:

cp vendor/wpdesk/wp-code-sniffer/phpcs.xml.dist phpcs.xml.dist
cp vendor/wpdesk/wp-code-sniffer/.editorconfig .editorconfig

Adjust the values in phpcs.xml.dist:

The example configuration scans src and templates by default.

Ruleset

It includes WordPress rules, PHP compatibility checks, short array syntax, selected WooCommerce capabilities/functions, and excludes common generated or dependency directories.

Use your project phpcs.xml.dist as the custom coding standard.
