## What it is
A standardized, object-oriented foundation for building WordPress plugins, following the WordPress Plugin API and coding standards. It provides a fully executable skeleton plugin with documented classes, strict file organization, and an internationalization .pot file.

## Use cases
- start a new wordpress plugin with a clean structure
- scaffold a wordpress plugin boilerplate
- learn object-oriented wordpress plugin development
- follow wordpress coding standards in a plugin
- set up internationalization for a wordpress plugin

## When to choose
- you are starting a new WordPress plugin from scratch
- you want a well-documented, standards-compliant plugin skeleton
- you need a consistent file organization scheme for plugin development

## When to avoid
- you need a plugin framework with built-in features like settings pages or custom post types
- you are building something other than a WordPress plugin
- you want an actively developed scaffold with frequent updates

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: boilerplate, plugin-system, internationalization
- domain: web-development, cms, developer-tools
- platform: php, self-hosted
