The Divi Claude Skill

By Royal Plugins · Updated August 2026 · Works with Royal MCP 1.4.43+ (Free or Pro) · Divi 4.x or 5.x

A free Claude Skill that teaches Claude the safe, composable patterns for editing Divi pages via AI — clone-and-retarget, library-to-page templates, library CRUD, Divi 4 to Divi 5 migration prep, and Divi 5 authoring from scratch. Handles Divi 4 shortcodes and Divi 5 blocks uniformly. Copy the instructions or download the file, drop it into Claude Desktop or Claude in browser, and your next Divi edit works cleanly on the first try.

Download Divi Claude Skill

Then in Claude: Settings → Skills → Add → Write skill instructions (paste) or Upload a skill (drop the file).

Before you install the skill

Get Royal MCP free from WordPress.org

This skill teaches Claude how to use Royal MCP's Divi tools intelligently — page format detection, library work, page cloning, image and text swaps, library CRUD, Divi 4 to Divi 5 migration prep, and Divi 5 authoring. Without Royal MCP installed on your WordPress site, Claude will know the workflows but can't execute them. Install it first — two-minute install, no configuration required, free forever.

INSTALL THE SKILL

Three steps, two minutes

Once Royal MCP is active on your WordPress site (see above), loading the skill takes about two minutes. Exactly the flow Anthropic ships their own skills through — same Add menu, same paste-or-upload options.

1

Copy or download

Click Copy skill instructions or Download Divi Claude Skill at the top of this page. That's the whole file — no zip, no repo, no dependencies.

2

Open Claude's Skills settings

In Claude Desktop or Claude in your browser, open Settings → Skills. Click the Add button at the top-right.

3

Paste or upload

Choose Write skill instructions and paste the copied content, or Upload a skill and drop the .md file. Save. Claude will auto-load it whenever you ask about Divi.

WHAT'S INSIDE

Five workflows Claude will follow

The skill teaches Claude one thing: detect page format first, never invent Divi content from scratch. Every workflow starts with the page-format probe (Divi 4 vs Divi 5 vs mixed vs not-Divi) and reads the per-post builder version from postmeta — never inferred from theme version. Every destructive write emits a 72-hour undo token visible in the response text.

Clone and retarget

Duplicate an existing Divi page as a new draft — all _et_pb_* meta preserved, D5 clientIds regenerated, D4 shortcodes pre-validated. Then bulk-substitute city, brand, or product references across shortcode attributes and block content. Independent undo tokens per write.

Library-to-page bridge

List saved Divi Library items, inspect their format (D4 shortcode or D5 block), and apply them to any target page in merge mode (append top/bottom) or replace mode (with backup meta stamp). Format-mismatch warnings surface before the write.

Library CRUD

Create, update, and delete Divi Library items with explicit D4/D5 format declaration (no auto-detect — prevents silent mismatched saves). Global module deletion refuses when the module is in use unless you force it — because forcing it breaks every page that referenced the module.

Divi 4 to Divi 5 migration prep

Audit which pages are D4 shortcode, D5 block, or mixed. Optionally back up D4 post_content to a recoverable meta key. Elegant Themes has not published a programmatic D4-to-D5 conversion API, so the actual migration is Divi's own admin UI — this prep tool audits + backs up + surfaces the admin URL so nothing goes wrong when you click it.

Divi 5 authoring from scratch

Emit ready-to-write Divi 5 block markup for code, text, and heading modules. Enforces the semver builder_version guard so your module doesn't silently render blank (the #1 cause of empty D5 bodies), detects the double-quote-in-content gotcha, and optionally writes atomically with a 72-hour undo token.

FAQ

Common questions

I don't have Royal MCP installed yet — can I try this skill first?
You can load the skill into Claude, but it won't be able to actually do anything to your Divi site until Royal MCP is active on your WordPress install. The skill is the instruction layer; Royal MCP is the tool layer. Install Royal MCP free from WordPress.org, then load the skill — the whole flow takes about two minutes end-to-end.
I'm on Divi 4 — will this skill work, or is it Divi 5 only?
Divi 4 is a peer first-class target, not a legacy tail. Every workflow in this skill has full Divi 4 shortcode support. The third-party Divi module ecosystem — several major commercial extensions with no Divi 5 equivalent — will keep D4 sites in production indefinitely, and this skill treats that as the norm not the exception. Format is detected per-post via the postmeta signal (never inferred from theme version), so mixed sites work cleanly too.
I asked Claude to edit my Divi site before and it clobbered a page — what changed?
The most common Divi 5 failure mode is builder rehydration: you programmatically write a Divi 5 post, then a human opens it in the WP editor or Divi builder — the builder drops anything it can't map to a known module, silently emptying the body. This skill teaches Claude to warn you before that happens and to verify via the outline tool rather than by opening the editor. Recovery via WordPress Revisions works, but you must select by timestamp not word count (Divi 5 revisions always show word_count 0). The skill teaches Claude the whole recovery sequence.
Can I use this to author brand-new Divi 5 content programmatically?
Yes, for code, text, and heading modules via the Divi 5 scaffold tool. It collapses Divi 5's five-requirement authoring wrapper (placeholder root, builderVersion on every block, per-breakpoint content shape, row/column structure attrs, single-quote HTML policy) into a single call with a semver-versioning guard so your block doesn't silently render blank. Note: JSON-LD structured data can't go inside a Divi 5 Code module — the double quotes terminate the block attribute. Use schema.org microdata instead. The skill teaches Claude both the authoring pattern and the JSON-LD workaround.
I use Elementor (or Bricks, or Oxygen) — does this skill work on my site?
This skill is Divi-only. For Elementor, grab the Elementor Claude Skill — same install pattern, covers clone, bulk find-replace, widget insertion, and library-to-page templates. Bricks and Oxygen don't have Royal MCP integrations yet, so there isn't a skill for those today — but SEObolt (our SEO plugin) does embed native panels inside both, so AI-assisted SEO work is possible there.
Claude told me to upgrade to Royal MCP Pro for cloning or library work — can I do it with Free?
Free covers the everyday page-editing tools — format detection, structural validation, page outline, library read, single-page text replace, page cloning, image URL swap across a page, and library-to-page template import — all with 72-hour undo where applicable. Pro adds library CRUD (create / update / delete saved library items), D4-to-D5 migration prep with backup + restore, D5 preset bulk-apply across a page or site-wide, and the D5 authoring scaffold. If a workflow needs a Pro tool, the skill tells you plainly rather than silent-degrade.
How do I prepare my Divi 4 site for a Divi 5 upgrade?
The skill walks Claude through the migration prep workflow: audit which pages are D4 shortcode vs D5 block vs mixed, back up D4 post_content into recoverable meta keys before migration, then click Divi's own admin migration button. Important honesty: Elegant Themes has not published a programmatic D4-to-D5 migration API, so the actual conversion is Divi's own admin UI. The skill audits + backs up + surfaces the admin URL — it does not migrate for you. Backup gives you a 72-hour undo lane if Divi's migration hits edge cases.
The skill file has been updated — how do I get the new version into Claude?
Come back to this page (which always serves the latest version), click Copy or Download again, and replace the existing skill in Claude's Settings → Skills. The version number in the skill file's frontmatter tells you which version you have. Old skill can be deleted from Claude's Skills panel in one click.
Can I customize the skill for my own team or edit the workflows?
Yes. The file is plain Markdown — edit whatever you want. Add your team's custom workflows, remove sections that don't apply to your stack, tweak the narration style Claude uses. If you make an improvement worth sharing back (a new workflow pattern, a sharper Pro CTA, a better boundary rule), reach out via the Royal Plugins support channel.
