+# Code Quality Checks Workflow
+
+## Scope
+
+This document is intended for plugin developers and code reviewers working on this repository. It outlines the process for ensuring code quality before pushing changes to the repository. Following these steps will help catch issues early and save time in the review process.
+
+## Pre-Push Checklist
+
+Before pushing your changes to the repository, run through the following checks:
+
+1. **Run Unit Tests**
+
+   ```bash
+   composer test
+   ```
+
+   Ensure all tests pass. If any tests fail, resolve the issues before proceeding.
+
+2. **Run PHP CodeSniffer**
+
+   ```bash
+   composer phpcs
+   ```
+
+   This will check your code against WordPress coding standards. Fix any issues before proceeding.
+
+3. **Run PHP Code Beautifier and Fixer**
+
+   ```bash
+   composer phpcbf
+   ```
+
+   This will automatically fix many coding standard issues.
+
+4. **Run PHPStan**
+
+   ```bash
+   composer phpstan
+   ```
+
+   This will perform static analysis on your code to find potential bugs and issues.
+
+5. **Run PHP Mess Detector**
+
+   ```bash
+   composer phpmd
+   ```
+
+   This will check for potential problems like unused variables, empty catch blocks, etc.
+
+## Common Issues and How to Fix Them
+
+### 1. Inline Comments
+
+All inline comments must end with proper punctuation (period, exclamation mark, or question mark).
+
+```php
+// Incorrect comment
+$var = true;
+
+// Correct comment.
+$var = true;
+```
+
+### 2. Superglobal Access
+
+Never access superglobals like `$_GET`, `$_POST`, etc. directly. Always use WordPress functions to sanitize and validate input.
+
+```php
+// Incorrect
+$page = $_GET['page'];
+
+// Correct
+$page = filter_input(INPUT_GET, 'page', FILTER_SANITIZE_FULL_SPECIAL_CHARS);
+
+// For testing environments
+if (defined('PHPUNIT_RUNNING') && PHPUNIT_RUNNING) {
+    // phpcs:ignore WordPress.Security.ValidatedSanitizedInput.InputNotSanitized -- This rule is ignored in tests to allow direct access for testing purposes
+    $page = isset($_GET['page']) ? wp_unslash($_GET['page']) : '';
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Avoid Unnecessary Else Clauses
+
+Simplify your code by avoiding unnecessary else clauses.
+
+```php
+// Less preferred
+if (condition) {
+    return true;
+} else {
+    return false;
+}
+
+// Preferred
+if (condition) {
+    return true;
+}
+return false;
+```
+
+### 4. Proper Function Spacing
+
+Ensure proper spacing in function calls and declarations.
+
+```php
+// Incorrect
+function_name($param1,$param2);
+
+// Correct
+function_name( $param1, $param2 );
+```
+
+### 5. Naming Conventions
+
+Follow WordPress naming conventions:
+
+* Functions and variables: snake_case with plugin-specific prefix (e.g., `myplugin_function_name`)
+* Classes: CamelCase
+* Constants: UPPERCASE_WITH_UNDERSCORES with plugin-specific prefix (e.g., `MYPLUGIN_CONSTANT_NAME`)
+
+## Automated Checks in CI/CD
+
+Our CI/CD pipeline includes the following automated checks:
+
+1. **CodeFactor**: Analyzes code quality and style
+2. **Codacy**: Performs static code analysis
+3. **SonarCloud**: Checks for code smells, bugs, and security vulnerabilities
+4. **CodeRabbit**: Provides AI-powered code review
+
+Although CI runs these checks, catching issues locally helps save time and minimize follow-up commits.
+
+## Using AI to Help with Code Quality
+
+You can use AI assistants to help improve code quality:
+
+1. Run the code quality checks locally
+2. If issues are found, ask the AI assistant to help fix them
+3. Apply the suggested fixes
+4. Run the checks again to verify the issues are resolved
+
+Example prompt:
+
+```text
+I ran PHPCS and got the following errors. Can you help me fix them?
+
+[Paste error output here]
+```
+
+For more AI assistance guidelines, see the [AI Assistant Guide](./../.ai-assistant.md).
+
+## Conclusion
+
+This workflow helps maintain high code quality and accelerates the review process. Remember, it's always more efficient to resolve issues locally than to go through multiple rounds of CI/CD and code review.

+
+This project integrates with several code quality tools that automatically analyze your code when you create a pull request. These tools are free for public repositories and should be integrated into any new repositories based on this template.
+
+1. **CodeRabbit**: AI-powered code review tool
+   * Provides automated feedback on pull requests
+   * Identifies potential issues and suggests improvements
+   * [Website](https://www.coderabbit.ai/)
+
+2. **CodeFactor**: Continuous code quality monitoring
+   * Provides a grade for your codebase
+   * Identifies issues related to code style, complexity, and potential bugs
+   * Tracks code quality over time
+   * [Website](https://www.codefactor.io/)
+
+3. **Codacy**: Code quality and static analysis
+   * Provides a grade for your codebase
+   * Identifies issues related to code style, security, and performance

+   * [Website](https://sonarcloud.io/)
+
+### How to Pass Code Quality Checks
+
+To ensure your code passes the quality checks from these tools, follow these guidelines:
+
+1. **Run Local Checks First**
+   * Before pushing your code, run PHPCS and PHPCBF locally
+   * Fix any issues identified by these tools
+
+2. **Address Common Issues**
+   * **Indentation**: Use 4 spaces for indentation (not tabs)
+   * **Line Length**: Keep lines under 100 characters
+   * **Naming Conventions**: Follow WordPress naming conventions
+   * **Documentation**: Add PHPDoc comments to classes, methods, and functions
+   * **Error Handling**: Implement proper error handling
+   * **Security**: Validate and sanitize input, escape output
+   * **Markdown**: Use asterisks (*) for bullet points, not hyphens (-)
+
+3. **Using AI Assistants with Code Quality Tools**
+   * When you receive feedback from code quality tools, you can use AI assistants to help address the issues
+   * Copy the output from the code quality tool and paste it into your AI assistant chat
+   * Ask the AI to help you understand and resolve the issues
+   * Example prompt:
+
+     ```text
+     I received the following feedback from [Tool Name]. Please help me understand and resolve these issues:
+
+     [Paste the tool output here]
+     ```
+
+4. **Iterative Improvement**
+   * Address issues one at a time, starting with the most critical
+   * Commit and push your changes to see if they resolve the issues
+   * Continue this process until all issues are resolved
+

+### Code Quality Tools
+
+This project uses several automated code quality tools to ensure high standards. These tools are free for public repositories and should be integrated into any new repositories based on this template:
+
+1. **CodeRabbit**: AI-powered code review tool
+   * [Website](https://www.coderabbit.ai/)
+   * Provides automated feedback on pull requests
+
+2. **CodeFactor**: Continuous code quality monitoring
+   * [Website](https://www.codefactor.io/)
+   * Provides a grade for your codebase
+
+3. **Codacy**: Code quality and static analysis
+   * [Website](https://www.codacy.com/)
+   * Identifies issues related to code style, security, and performance
+   * Requires a `CODACY_PROJECT_TOKEN` secret in your GitHub repository settings
+   * To set up Codacy:
+     1. Go to [Codacy](https://www.codacy.com/) and sign in with your GitHub account
+     2. Add your repository to Codacy
+     3. Go to your project settings > Integrations > Project API
+     4. Generate a project API token
+     5. Add the token as a secret named `CODACY_PROJECT_TOKEN` in your GitHub repository settings
+     6. Note: Codacy tokens are project-specific, so they need to be added at the repository level. However, you can use GitHub Actions to securely pass these tokens between repositories if needed.
+
+4. **SonarCloud**: Code quality and security analysis
+   * [Website](https://sonarcloud.io/)
+   * Provides detailed analysis of code quality and security
+   * Requires a `SONAR_TOKEN` secret in your GitHub repository settings
+   * To set up SonarCloud:
+     1. Go to [SonarCloud](https://sonarcloud.io/) and sign in with your GitHub account
+     2. Create a new organization or use an existing one
+     3. Add your repository to SonarCloud
+     4. Generate a token in SonarCloud (Account > Security > Tokens)
+     5. Add the token as a secret named `SONAR_TOKEN` in your GitHub repository or organization settings (see "GitHub Secrets Management" section below)
+
+5. **PHP_CodeSniffer (PHPCS)**: PHP code style checker
+   * Enforces WordPress Coding Standards
+   * Automatically runs in GitHub Actions workflow
+   * Run locally with `composer phpcs`
+
+6. **PHP Code Beautifier and Fixer (PHPCBF)**: Automatically fixes coding standard violations
+   * Run locally with `composer phpcbf`
+
+7. **PHPStan**: PHP static analysis tool
+   * Detects bugs and errors without running the code
+   * Run locally with `composer phpstan`
+
+8. **PHP Mess Detector (PHPMD)**: Analyzes code for potential problems
+   * Identifies complex code, unused parameters, etc.
+   * Run locally with `composer phpmd`
+
+For detailed setup instructions, see the [Code Quality Setup Guide](docs/code-quality-setup.md).
+
+### Using AI Assistants with Code Quality Tools
+
+When you receive feedback from these code quality tools, you can use AI assistants to help address the issues:
+
+1. Copy the output from the code quality tool
+2. Paste it into your AI assistant chat
+3. Ask the AI to help you understand and resolve the issues
+4. Apply the suggested fixes
+5. Commit the changes and verify that the issues are resolved
+
+For more information on coding standards and how to pass code quality checks, see the [Coding Standards Guide](.wiki/Coding-Standards.md).
+
+### GitHub Secrets Management
+
+GitHub offers three levels of secrets management, each with different scopes and use cases:
+
+1. **Organization Secrets** (recommended for teams and organizations):
+   * Available at: GitHub Organization > Settings > Secrets and variables > Actions
+   * Scope: Can be shared across multiple repositories within the organization
+   * Benefits: Centralized management, reduced duplication, easier rotation
+   * Recommended for: `SONAR_TOKEN` and other tokens that apply to multiple repositories
+   * Note: You can restrict which repositories can access organization secrets
+   * Note: Codacy tokens (`CODACY_PROJECT_TOKEN`) are project-specific and should be set at the repository level
+
+2. **Repository Secrets**:
+   * Available at: Repository > Settings > Secrets and variables > Actions
+   * Scope: Limited to a single repository
+   * Benefits: Repository-specific, higher isolation
+   * Recommended for: `CODACY_PROJECT_TOKEN` and other repository-specific credentials or tokens that shouldn't be shared
+
+3. **Environment Secrets**:
+   * Available at: Repository > Settings > Environments > (select environment) > Environment secrets
+   * Scope: Limited to specific deployment environments (e.g., production, staging)
+   * Benefits: Environment-specific, can have approval requirements
+   * Recommended for: Deployment credentials that vary between environments
+
+For code quality tools like SonarCloud, organization secrets are recommended if you have multiple repositories that use these tools. This approach reduces management overhead and ensures consistent configuration across projects. For Codacy, since tokens are project-specific, they should be set at the repository level.
+
+### Local Environment Setup for Code Quality Tools
+
+To run code quality tools locally before committing to GitHub:
+
+1. **Install dependencies**:
+
+   ```bash
+   composer install
+   ```
+
+2. **Run PHP CodeSniffer**:
+
+   ```bash
+   composer phpcs
+   ```
+
+3. **Fix coding standards automatically**:
+
+   ```bash
+   composer phpcbf
+   ```
+
+4. **Run PHPStan static analysis**:
+
+   ```bash
+   composer phpstan
+   ```
+
+5. **Run PHP Mess Detector**:
+
+   ```bash
+   composer phpmd
+   ```
+
+6. **Run all linters at once**:
+
+   ```bash
+   composer lint
+   ```
+
+7. **Set up environment variables for SonarCloud and Codacy**:
+
+   * **For macOS/Linux**:
+     ```bash
+     export SONAR_TOKEN=your_sonar_token
+     export CODACY_PROJECT_TOKEN=your_codacy_token
+     ```
+
+   * **For Windows (Command Prompt)**:
+
+     ```cmd
+     set SONAR_TOKEN=your_sonar_token
+     set CODACY_PROJECT_TOKEN=your_codacy_token
+     ```
+
+   * **For Windows (PowerShell)**:
+
+     ```powershell
+     $env:SONAR_TOKEN="your_sonar_token"
+     $env:CODACY_PROJECT_TOKEN="your_codacy_token"
+     ```
+
+8. **Create a .env file** (alternative approach):
+
+   ```env
+   # .env (already included in .gitignore to prevent committing secrets)
+   SONAR_TOKEN=your_sonar_token
+   CODACY_PROJECT_TOKEN=your_codacy_token
+   ```
+
+   Then load these variables:
+
+   ```bash
+   # Using a tool like dotenv
+   source .env
+   ```
+
+9. **Run SonarCloud locally**:
+
+   ```bash
+   # Install SonarScanner
+   npm install -g sonarqube-scanner
+
+   # Run analysis
+   sonar-scanner \
+     -Dsonar.projectKey=your_project_key \
+     -Dsonar.organization=your_organization \
+     -Dsonar.sources=. \
+     -Dsonar.host.url=https://sonarcloud.io \
+     -Dsonar.login=$SONAR_TOKEN
+   ```
+
+10. **Run Codacy locally**:
+
+    ```bash
+    # Install Codacy CLI

+# Code Quality Tools Setup
+
+This document explains how to set up and use the code quality tools for this project.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+* PHP 7.4 or higher
+* Composer
+
+## Installation
+
+1. Clone the repository:
+
+   ```bash
+   git clone https://github.com/wpallstars/wp-plugin-starter-template-for-ai-coding.git
+   cd wp-plugin-starter-template-for-ai-coding
+   ```
+
+2. Install dependencies:
+
+   ```bash
+   composer install
+   ```
+
+## Available Tools
+
+### PHP CodeSniffer (PHPCS)
+
+PHPCS checks your code against the WordPress Coding Standards.
+
+```bash
+# Run PHPCS
+composer phpcs
+
+# Run PHPCS with a simplified ruleset
+composer phpcs:simple
+```
+
+### PHP Code Beautifier and Fixer (PHPCBF)
+
+PHPCBF automatically fixes coding standard violations.
+
+```bash
+# Run PHPCBF to fix coding standard violations
+composer phpcbf
+
+# Run PHPCBF with a simplified ruleset
+composer phpcbf:simple
+```
+
+### PHPStan
+
+PHPStan performs static analysis to find bugs in your code.
+
+```bash
+# Run PHPStan
+composer phpstan
+```
+
+### PHP Mess Detector (PHPMD)
+
+PHPMD detects potential problems in your code.
+
+```bash
+# Run PHPMD
+composer phpmd
+```
+
+### Running All Linters
+
+```bash
+# Run all linters (PHPCS, PHPStan, PHPMD)
+composer lint
+```
+
+### Running All Fixers
+
+```bash
+# Run all fixers (PHPCBF)
+composer fix
+```
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+For SonarCloud and Codacy integration, you need to set up the following environment variables:
+
+### SonarCloud
+
+```bash
+export SONAR_TOKEN=your_sonar_token
+```
+
+### Codacy
+
+```bash
+export CODACY_PROJECT_TOKEN=your_codacy_token
+```
+
+## CI/CD Integration
+
+The project includes GitHub Actions workflows for running these tools automatically on each push and pull request. See the `.github/workflows/code-quality.yml` file for details.
+
+## Customization
+
+* PHPCS rules can be customized in `phpcs.xml`
+* PHPStan configuration is in `phpstan.neon`
+* SonarCloud configuration is in `sonar-project.properties`

+= Code Quality Tools =
+
+This project uses several automated code quality tools to ensure high standards. These tools are free for public repositories and should be integrated into any new repositories based on this template:
+
+1. **[CodeRabbit](https://www.coderabbit.ai/)**: AI-powered code review tool that provides automated feedback on pull requests
+2. **[CodeFactor](https://www.codefactor.io/)**: Continuous code quality monitoring that provides a grade for your codebase
+3. **[Codacy](https://www.codacy.com/)**: Code quality and static analysis that identifies issues related to code style, security, and performance
+4. **[SonarCloud](https://sonarcloud.io/)**: Code quality and security analysis that provides detailed analysis of code quality and security
+
+= Using AI Assistants with Code Quality Tools =
+
+When you receive feedback from these code quality tools, you can use AI assistants to help address the issues:
+
+1. Copy the output from the code quality tool
+2. Paste it into your AI assistant chat
+3. Ask the AI to help you understand and resolve the issues
+4. Apply the suggested fixes
+5. Commit the changes and verify that the issues are resolved
+
+For more information on coding standards and how to pass code quality checks, see the [Coding Standards Guide](https://github.com/wpallstars/wp-plugin-starter-template-for-ai-coding/wiki/Coding-Standards) in the wiki.

+# Coding Standards
+
+This document outlines the coding standards used in this plugin. Following these standards ensures consistency, readability, and maintainability of the codebase.
+
+## PHP Coding Standards
+
+This plugin follows the [WordPress Coding Standards](https://developer.wordpress.org/coding-standards/wordpress-coding-standards/php/) with some additional guidelines.
+
+### File Structure
+
+* Each PHP file should begin with the PHP opening tag `<?php` (no closing tag)
+* Files should use the Unix line endings (LF)
+* Files should be encoded in UTF-8 without BOM
+
+### Naming Conventions
+
+* **Classes**: Use `PascalCase` for class names
+  ```php
+  class MyClassName {}
+  ```
+
+* **Methods and Functions**: Use `snake_case` for method and function names
+  ```php
+  function my_function_name() {}
+  public function my_method_name() {}
+  ```
+
+* **Variables**: Use `snake_case` for variable names
+  ```php
+  $my_variable_name = 'value';
+  ```
+
+* **Constants**: Use `UPPERCASE_WITH_UNDERSCORES` for constants
+  ```php
+  define('MY_CONSTANT', 'value');
+  const MY_CLASS_CONSTANT = 'value';
+  ```
+
+* **Namespaces**: Use `PascalCase` for namespace segments
+  ```php
+  namespace WPALLSTARS\PluginStarterTemplate;
+  ```
+
+* **Hooks**: Prefix hooks with the plugin's prefix
+  ```php
+  do_action('wpst_hook_name');
+  apply_filters('wpst_filter_name', $value);
+  ```
+
+### Indentation and Formatting
+
+* Use 4 spaces for indentation (not tabs)
+* Opening braces for classes and functions should be on the same line
+* Control structures should have one space between the statement and the opening parenthesis
+* Each line should be no longer than 100 characters
+
+```php
+if ($condition) {
+    // Code here
+} elseif ($another_condition) {
+    // More code
+} else {
+    // Default code
+}
+```
+
+### Documentation
+
+* All classes, methods, and functions should be documented using PHPDoc
+* Include a description, parameters, return values, and exceptions
+
+```php
+/**
+ * Short description of the function.
+ *
+ * Longer description if needed.
+ *
+ * @param string $param1 Description of the parameter.
+ * @param int    $param2 Description of the parameter.
+ * @return bool Description of the return value.
+ * @throws Exception When something goes wrong.
+ */
+function my_function($param1, $param2) {
+    // Function code
+}
+```
+
+### Object-Oriented Programming
+
+* Each class should have a single responsibility
+* Use visibility declarations for all properties and methods (public, protected, private)
+* Use type hints for parameters and return types when possible
+
+```php
+class MyClass {
+    /**
+     * Property description.
+     *
+     * @var string
+     */
+    private $property;
+
+    /**
+     * Method description.
+     *
+     * @param string $param Description of the parameter.
+     * @return bool Description of the return value.
+     */
+    public function my_method(string $param): bool {
+        // Method code
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## JavaScript Coding Standards
+
+This plugin follows the [WordPress JavaScript Coding Standards](https://developer.wordpress.org/coding-standards/wordpress-coding-standards/javascript/).
+
+### Naming Conventions
+
+* **Variables and Functions**: Use `camelCase` for variable and function names
+  ```javascript
+  var myVariableName = 'value';
+  function myFunctionName() {}
+  ```
+
+* **Constants**: Use `UPPERCASE_WITH_UNDERSCORES` for constants
+  ```javascript
+  var MY_CONSTANT = 'value';
+  ```
+
+### Indentation and Formatting
+
+* Use 4 spaces for indentation (not tabs)
+* Opening braces should be on the same line as the statement
+* Each line should be no longer than 100 characters
+
+```javascript
+if (condition) {
+    // Code here
+} else if (anotherCondition) {
+    // More code
+} else {
+    // Default code
+}
+```
+
+### Documentation
+
+* Use JSDoc for documenting functions and objects
+
+```javascript
+/**
+ * Short description of the function.
+ *
+ * @param {string} param1 - Description of the parameter.
+ * @param {number} param2 - Description of the parameter.
+ * @returns {boolean} Description of the return value.
+ */
+function myFunction(param1, param2) {
+    // Function code
+}
+```
+
+## CSS Coding Standards
+
+This plugin follows the [WordPress CSS Coding Standards](https://developer.wordpress.org/coding-standards/wordpress-coding-standards/css/).
+
+### Naming Conventions
+
+* Use lowercase for selectors
+* Use hyphens to separate words in class and ID names
+* Prefix classes and IDs with the plugin's prefix
+
+```css
+.wpst-container {
+    margin: 0;
+}
+
+#wpst-header {
+    padding: 10px;
+}
+```
+
+### Indentation and Formatting
+
+* Use 4 spaces for indentation (not tabs)
+* Each property should be on its own line
+* Include a space after the colon in property declarations
+* End each declaration with a semicolon
+* Use single quotes for attribute selectors and property values
+
+```css
+.wpst-container {
+    margin: 0;
+    padding: 10px;
+    font-family: 'Helvetica', sans-serif;
+}
+```
+
+## Automated Code Checking
+
+This plugin uses automated tools to enforce coding standards:
+
+### Local Development Tools
+
+1. **PHP_CodeSniffer (PHPCS)**: Checks PHP code against the WordPress Coding Standards
+   ```bash
+   composer run phpcs
