underscoretw/scaffold
=====================

[](#underscoretwscaffold)

A WP-CLI package that generates starter themes from [underscoretw.com](https://underscoretw.com/).

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

After [installing WP-CLI](https://wp-cli.org/#installing), please run:

```
wp package install underscoretw/scaffold
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Run the command without a slug to launch the interactive wizard:

```
wp scaffold _tw
```

LLMs or automated processes can generate themes using arguments:

```
wp scaffold _tw [] [--theme_name=] [--prefix=]
    [--theme_uri=] [--author=] [--author_uri=]
    [--description=] [--activate] [--enable-network] [--force]

```

All of the above arguments also work with the interactive wizard.

`wp scaffold underscoretw` is available as an alias.

### Interactive Wizard

[](#interactive-wizard)

The wizard will prompt for:

1. **Theme name** (required)
2. **Theme slug** (derived from the name by default)
3. **Function prefix** (derived from the slug by default)
4. **Author**, **author URI**, **theme URI**, and **description** (all optional)

After collecting your inputs, the wizard displays a summary and asks for confirmation before generating the theme.
