2 things to look at

no licenseNo license file was found in the repository. Code published without one is not open source by default, so using it at work is a question for whoever answers licensing questions where you are.
1 stars1 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.

What its author says it does

Copied from the file, not written here

Run safe Elementor content operations in live or staging environments. Use for backup-first meta changes, scoped WP-CLI edits, template cloning, cache refresh, and verification loops.

Elementor Ops And Data

Core (Universal)

Trigger Scope

Use this skill when operating on persisted Elementor content:

bulk text/URL edits
_elementor_data and related meta operations
template clone/apply workflows
import/export integrity checks

Workflow

Scope changes.

identify target post IDs and exact keys/tables

Create rollback artifacts.

backup relevant meta before writes

Run controlled mutation.

dry-run first
execute scoped updates

Refresh generated state.

flush Elementor CSS/cache artifacts

Verify outcome.

editor load
frontend render
metadata sanity

Verification Loop

Run this sequence for every non-trivial mutation:

backup snapshot created
dry-run reports expected blast radius
write operation executed with scoped target
cache/CSS regenerated
editor and frontend parity verified

Guardrails

Never run broad replacements without explicit scope.
Never mutate Elementor meta without backup.
Do not treat _elementor_data as unstructured text.
Keep rollback artifacts until acceptance.
Keep data ops and structural widget refactors in separate passes.

Minimal Example

Bash / Linux / macOS:

wp post meta get <id> _elementor_data > backup-<id>.json
wp search-replace "Old" "New" wp_postmeta --include-columns=meta_value --dry-run --precise
wp search-replace "Old" "New" wp_postmeta --include-columns=meta_value --precise
wp elementor flush-css

PowerShell / Windows:

# Backup meta
$backupName = "backup-$(Get-Date -Format 'yyyyMMdd-HHmm')-$id.json"
wp post meta get $id _elementor_data | Out-File -FilePath $backupName -Encoding UTF8

# Dry-run (review what will change)
wp search-replace "Old" "New" wp_postmeta --include-columns=meta_value --dry-run --precise

# Execute (provide explicit yes flag)
wp search-replace "Old" "New" wp_postmeta --include-columns=meta_value --precise

# Refresh cache
wp elementor flush-css

Scope verification (before mutations):

# Count matching rows
$matchCount = wp db query "SELECT COUNT(*) as cnt FROM wp_postmeta WHERE meta_key='_elementor_data' AND meta_value LIKE '%Old%'" --skip-column-names
Write-Host "Will affect ~$matchCount rows. Review backup first."
