Setup ----- [](#setup) The PHPCS ruleset can be installed via Composer: `composer require --dev pantheon-systems/pantheon-wp-coding-standards` Usage ----- [](#usage) Run the following command to run the standards checks: ``` vendor/bin/phpcs -s --standard=Pantheon-WP . ``` We recommend using the `-s` flag so that PHPCS will report the specific rule that was violated. This makes it easier to add exclusions or research possible solutions. If you have a tests directory that you want to exclude from the sniffs, you can do so by adding the `--ignore` flag: ``` vendor/bin/phpcs -s --ignore=tests/* --standard=Pantheon-WP . ``` Extending --------- [](#extending) If you want to customize the defaults or add additional rules, you can create your own standard file (e.g. `phpcs.ruleset.xml`): ``` . ``` You can then reference this file when running PHPCS: ``` vendor/bin/phpcs -s --standard=phpcs.ruleset.xml . ``` Included Checks --------------- [](#included-checks) The Pantheon WP standard is based upon [WordPress Coding Standards](https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress-Coding-Standards/), [VIP Coding Standards](https://github.com/Automattic/VIP-Coding-Standards) with some customizations based on [Human Made's Coding Standards](https://github.com/humanmade/coding-standards/). ### Health Score 49 — FairBetter than 95% of packages Maintenance71 Regular maintenance activity Popularity38 Limited adoption so far Community27 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity52 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 74.2% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio. Uses a 2-year decay window. **Popularity (30%)** — Total and monthly downloads, GitHub stars, and forks. Logarithmic scaling prevents top-heavy scores. **Community (15%)** — Contributors, dependents, forks, watchers, and maintainers. Measures real ecosystem engagement. **Maturity (30%)** — Project age, version count, PHP version support, and release stability. ### Release Activity Cadence Every ~110 days Recently: every ~147 days Total 9 Last Release 301d ago Major Versions 1.0.1 → 2.0.02023-09-12 2.0.3 → 3.0.02025-07-18 ### Community Maintainers ![](https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/5a89f5f15357797cbd6ec7833a28626478ae3c0ceb5fa1faa8a26d0960584c65?d=identicon)[pantheon-systems](/maintainers/pantheon-systems) ![](https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/af6c0ce1d250a8a8edc57b4759dabc3d5f7956fc105450bba7fc5d2eb5b74362?d=identicon)[jazzsequence](/maintainers/jazzsequence) --- Top Contributors [![jazzsequence](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/991511?v=4)](https://github.com/jazzsequence "jazzsequence (23 commits)")[![namespacebrian](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/87093053?v=4)](https://github.com/namespacebrian "namespacebrian (4 commits)")[![dependabot[bot]](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/in/29110?v=4)](https://github.com/dependabot[bot] "dependabot[bot] (2 commits)")[![greg-1-anderson](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/612191?v=4)](https://github.com/greg-1-anderson "greg-1-anderson (1 commits)")[![lowlostrong](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/239265111?v=4)](https://github.com/lowlostrong "lowlostrong (1 commits)") --- Tags code-sniffercoding-standardshacktoberfestphpcswordpresswordpress-coding-standardswpcs ### Code Quality Code StylePHP\_CodeSniffer ### Embed Badge ![Health badge](/badges/pantheon-systems-pantheon-wp-coding-standards/health.svg) ``` [![Health](https://phpackages.com/badges/pantheon-systems-pantheon-wp-coding-standards/health.svg)](https://phpackages.com/packages/pantheon-systems-pantheon-wp-coding-standards) ``` ### Alternatives [wp-cli/wp-cli-tests WP-CLI testing framework 422.7M87](/packages/wp-cli-wp-cli-tests)[yoast/yoastcs PHP\_CodeSniffer rules for Yoast projects 221.1M29](/packages/yoast-yoastcs)[10up/phpcs-composer 10up's PHP CodeSniffer Ruleset 521.3M35](/packages/10up-phpcs-composer)[humanmade/coding-standards Human Made Coding Standards 161424.0k49](/packages/humanmade-coding-standards)[axepress/wp-graphql-cs PHP\_CodeSniffer rules (sniffs) for the WPGraphQL ecosystem. 1060.9k7](/packages/axepress-wp-graphql-cs)[automattic/phpcs-neutron-ruleset A PHPCS meta-ruleset for WordPress development 17100.3k4](/packages/automattic-phpcs-neutron-ruleset) PHPackages © 2026 [Directory](/)[Categories](/categories)[Trending](/trending)[Changelog](/changelog)[Analyze](/analyze)
