AI Skills

From Bricks v2.4 (in beta), builder actions can be exposed through the WordPress Abilities API and MCP, letting compatible clients like Cursor, Claude Code, and Copilot create or edit Bricks pages and global data directly. BricksExtras’ elements & features are a part of that, every setting is already there for any connected AI agent to read and write. But mastering these features takes more than a settings list, and that’s what BricksExtras skills are for.

The skills document the practical usage details a settings schema can’t capture – how an element’s children should be structured, which settings work together best to achieve certain goals, setting up more advanced use cases and examples, and the mistakes that are easy to make but hard to spot. It also makes it faster to work with, meaning less back and fourth via MCP as the agent already has the information.

Install BricksExtras Skills alongside Bricks’ own MCP setup so your AI agent has that knowledge available when building out pages.

Example Usage

Rather than having to explain the complete set up instructions setting by setting, we can simply ask based on the main goal.

“Add a gallery slider from my home pages’ acf gallery field with thumbnails slider under it” – With the skills documents, the AI would know that you need two Pro Sliders populated with the images from the galleries, the thumbnail slider needs to be set up to sync with the other slider and also to enable the conditional slider as the data is being pulled in dynamically from custom fields & so the number of images is unknown.

“I need to display my video playlist as one large player and a list of videos to select from my video posts” – With the skills documents, the AI would know that you need one Media Player, a block with a query loop and Media playlist elements hooked up to your CPT with the video URLs populated with dynamic tags.
