Slash
command reference

WordPress for Cowork ships with these slash commands. Type them in the Cowork chat (with the leading /) to start the matching workflow. Each command is also discoverable in plain English — e.g., “design a landing page” triggers /wp-design automatically.

Setup and account

  • /wp-setup — Activate your license key, connect a WordPress site, add more sites (every tier supports unlimited sites), or remove an existing connection.

Listing site content

  • /wp-list — List posts, pages, products, comments, plugins, themes, users, menus, or media. Pass what you want, e.g., “list my draft posts from the last week.”

Building and editing pages

  • /wp-design — Build a page or edit an existing layout using Gutenberg blocks. Works for landing pages, product pages, and any standard WordPress page.

Publishing

  • /wp-publish — Create a new blog post or a new WooCommerce product. Set categories, tags, featured image, and SEO in the same flow.

Comments

  • /wp-comments — Moderate, approve, reject, mark as spam, or reply to comments. Bulk operations are supported.

Site-wide theme and styling

  • /wp-theme — Configure the site header, footer, navigation menu, and global styles (colors, typography, spacing).

Two non-slash actions worth knowing

  • Backup before edits: any destructive change can be preceded by a wp_backup snapshot. The plugin will offer this once per session.
  • Restore: ask “show me my recent backups” or “restore the snapshot from yesterday morning” — the plugin will list snapshots and roll back to the one you pick.

Need a tool the slash commands don’t cover?

The plugin includes wp_raw_api, which lets you (or Cowork) hit any WordPress REST endpoint directly — useful for plugin-specific routes that don’t have a dedicated tool. Open a ticket at /create-new-ticket/ if there’s a workflow you’d like to see promoted into its own slash command.
