Each block is a fully self-contained, reusable unit: its own `Block.php`, templates, styles and assets, independent of the theme. Blocks come in two kinds, **static** (content saved into post HTML) and **dynamic** (PHP-rendered on every request from DB/meta data). Use `_StarterBlock` as an example to create new blocks. Full guide: [blocks/CLAUDE.md](blocks/CLAUDE.md). Documentation ------------- [](#documentation) - [CLAUDE.md](CLAUDE.md) - architecture, DI container, config system, conventions - [blocks/CLAUDE.md](blocks/CLAUDE.md) - block authoring guide (static vs dynamic, folder shape, gotchas) - [.claude/skills/](.claude/skills/) - guided workflows: new CPT, new block, FSE → classic conversion - [StarterKit docs](https://starter-kit.io/docs/overview/) - Foundation-level setup, environments, CI/CD Stay Connected -------------- [](#stay-connected) - Participate on [GitHub Discussions](https://github.com/solidbunch/starter-kit-theme/discussions) - Connect via [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/solidbunch) ### Health Score 56 — FairBetter than 97% of packages Maintenance89 Actively maintained with recent releases Popularity15 Limited adoption so far Community21 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity86 Battle-tested with a long release history Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 51.3% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
