Check your site for modified files with AI
Verify WordPress core and plugin files against the official checksums to spot tampering, no security plugin required.
Prerequisites
A connected site with the WPVibe plugin active.
Use WPVibe to check my site for modified or unexpected files. Run core verify-checksums and plugin verify-checksums, then explain anything that does not match: which files changed, which files are extra, and how serious each one looks. Separate harmless differences (like translation or readme files) from real red flags. Do not delete or change anything. End with a prioritized list of next steps, and tell me what to back up before I act on any of them.

Skip the copy-paste. Just ask your AI for the “Check your site for modified files with AI” recipe, or describe the task, and WPVibe runs these steps on your own site.
One of the first things a security plugin does is compare your files against the official WordPress releases to spot tampering. You do not need a security plugin for that check anymore: WPVibe can verify your core and plugin files against the WordPress.org checksums directly.
The AI runs the checksum verification for core and for each plugin, then translates the raw results into something useful: which files were modified, which files should not exist at all, and which differences are harmless (translation files, readme tweaks) versus worth investigating. Nothing gets deleted or changed. You end with a prioritized list of next steps.
Paste the prompt into your AI client with WPVibe connected. It is a good habit after noticing anything odd on your site, and a quick monthly check even when everything seems fine.
Outcome
You know exactly which core and plugin files differ from the official releases, and which ones deserve a closer look.
