Flavian: A WordPress Development Framework with 24 Specialized Claude Code Agents

Flavian is an MIT-licensed WordPress development framework that uses 24 specialized Claude Code agents to handle specific development tasks. The creator, who open-sourced the project, initially used Claude Code generically but found it produced PHP that worked but didn't follow WordPress conventions, hardcoded colors instead of using theme.json tokens, and placed files in incorrect locations.

Agent Specialization

The framework divides work among specialized agents including:

• A frontend-developer agent
• A security audit agent
• A performance benchmarker
• A UI designer for block patterns

Each agent has WordPress-specific knowledge baked in through skills files, which are systematic workflows that prevent common WordPress mistakes. The agents were originally based on the repository at https://github.com/wshobson/agents.

Key Features

The Figma-to-WordPress pipeline serves as the showpiece of the framework. You provide a Figma URL, and it:

• Extracts the complete design system
• Generates FSE block theme templates
• Creates block patterns
• Handles image assets

The creator notes this requires "no babysitting."

Technical Implementation

Other successful implementation details include:

• Using an MCP server so agents can interact with the WordPress environment
• A commit-commands plugin for structured git workflows
• Episodic memory for context persistence across sessions

The framework is available at https://github.com/PMDevSolutions/Flavian. The creator mentions two more FOSS tools will be released next week.
