WP-CLI plugin to audit plugin compatibility with the next WordPress version

A WP-CLI command that scans every active plugin on a site and flags any that haven’t been tested with the upcoming WordPress release. Useful for agencies and site owners running multiple sites who need to know which plugins are at risk before a major WP release.

What it does:
– Reads the “Tested up to” version from each plugin’s readme
– Cross-references with the next core release version
– Outputs a sortable report (CLI table format) showing plugin, current version, tested up to, status
– Optional flag to also check for available updates

Why this is useful: Agencies managing 50+ sites currently do this manually. A CLI command turns hours of work into one command.

Estimated effort: 1-2 weeks for a competent plugin developer
