Could you build this?
Partial While an AI can generate PHP boilerplate, designing a robust, architecturally sound MVC framework integrated with WordPress hooks and CLI requires deep PHP runtime and WP core knowledge.
What it would actually take: To build an integrated framework like WP Bones, one needs deep knowledge of WordPress's lifecycle, Composer packaging, and Symfony/Laravel components (Blade, Illuminate Database). The hard part is ensuring flawless compatibility with thousands of WP plugins, lifecycle hooks, database prefixing, and CLI generator maintenance across major WordPress releases.
