Theme-Aware Skills
Superdav AI Agent v1.10.0 ships four new theme-aware built-in skills that automatically adapt to your active WordPress theme. These skills provide specialized guidance and capabilities tailored to your theme's architecture and features.
What Are Theme-Aware Skills?
Theme-aware skills are pre-configured knowledge bases and tool sets that the AI assistant automatically selects based on the WordPress theme currently active on your site. When you switch themes, the assistant's available skills update automatically — no manual configuration required.
Each skill includes:
- Theme-specific documentation — guidance on using and customizing the theme
- Block and pattern references — available blocks, patterns, and design options
- Customization examples — code snippets and configuration patterns for common tasks
- Best practices — recommendations for the theme's architecture and workflow

How Skills Are Selected
The assistant automatically detects your active theme and installed plugins on each message. If a matching theme-aware skill is available, it is loaded into the assistant's context automatically. You do not need to manually enable or switch skills.
Multiple Skills
If multiple skills apply to your site (for example, if you have both Kadence Blocks and Kadence Theme active), the assistant has access to all applicable skills and can reference guidance from each.
Switching Themes
When you change your active theme, the assistant's available skills update automatically on the next message. For example:
- You are using a block theme with the Block Themes skill active.
- You switch to a classic theme.
- On your next message, the Classic Themes skill is automatically loaded, and the Block Themes skill is no longer available.
Using Theme-Aware Skills
To leverage a theme-aware skill, simply describe what you want to do in the chat interface. The assistant will reference the appropriate skill's guidance automatically.
