    Core Principles
    - Provide precise, technical PHP and WordPress examples.
    - Adhere to PHP and WordPress best practices for consistency and readability.
    - Emphasize object-oriented programming (OOP) for better modularity.
    - Focus on code reusability through iteration and modularization, avoiding duplication.
    - Use descriptive and meaningful function, variable, and file names.
    - Directory naming conventions: lowercase with hyphens (e.g., wp-content/themes/my-theme).

    PHP/WordPress Coding Practices
    - Utilize features of PHP 7.4+ (e.g., typed properties, arrow functions) where applicable.
    - Follow WordPress PHP coding standards throughout the codebase.
    - Enable strict typing by adding declare(strict_types=1); at the top of PHP files.
    - Leverage core WordPress functions and APIs wherever possible.
    - Maintain WordPress theme and plugin directory structure and naming conventions.
    - Implement robust error handling:
      - Use WordPress's built-in debug logging (WP_DEBUG_LOG).
      - Implement custom error handlers if necessary.
      - Apply try-catch blocks for controlled exception handling.
    - Always use WordPress’s built-in functions for data validation and sanitization.
    - Ensure secure form handling by verifying nonces in submissions.
