Check the WPCode Library Before You Write Custom Code with AI
Describe what you want your site to do and find out whether WPCode already has a tested snippet for it, before your AI writes new code.
Prerequisites
A connected site running WPCode 2.3 or newer (the free version works) on WordPress 6.9 or newer. Installing from the library needs the free WPCode library connection.
I use WPCode on my WordPress site. I want my site to do this: [describe it, for example: disable comments everywhere, or remove the WordPress version number from my page source]. Before you write any code, check the WPCode library. Use the WPCode abilities to search the library with at least three different keywords that someone might use for this, and also list my existing snippets in case I already have one that does it, even if it is switched off. Tell me what you found. If a library snippet matches, give me its exact title and description, tell me to install it from Code Snippets, Library in WPCode, and stop there: do not write your own version of something the library already has. If I already have a snippet that does this, tell me which one and whether it is active. Only if nothing matches, write the snippet. Keep it as small as it can be, explain what each part does in plain English, tell me where it should run, and then create it. Tell me clearly that it is saved switched off, that I enable it myself in WPCode, and give me the link. Remind me to check the pages it affects once it is on.
Skip pasting the full prompt. Drop this into your AI on a site that already has WPVibe:
Run the “Check the WPCode Library Before You Write Custom Code with AI” recipe from the WPVibe cookbook on my connected site.
An AI will happily write you a snippet to disable comments, remove the WordPress version number, or allow SVG uploads. It will probably work. But those are solved problems, and the WPCode library already has versions of them that thousands of sites run. Custom code is for the things nobody has solved yet. The trouble is that nobody checks the library first, because asking the AI is faster.
So the AI checks for you. It searches the WPCode library through WPCode’s own abilities, using a few different keywords, and tells you what it found. If there is a match, it gives you the snippet’s name and what it does, and you install it from the library screen in WPCode. If there is nothing, it writes the snippet, shows you the exact code in an approval screen, and saves it switched off for you to enable.
Paste the prompt with what you want. Be aware of one limit: the library search returns titles and descriptions, not the code, so the AI can point you to a library snippet and cannot install it for you. That is a two-click job under Code Snippets, Library. Whichever route you take, test the change on the pages it affects, because a snippet that is right for most sites can still clash with your theme or another plugin.
Outcome
Either the name of a ready-made library snippet to install in two clicks, or a custom snippet written for you and saved switched off.
