README

Part of the AI Building Blocks for WordPress initiative

Overview

  • Purpose: provide a common way for WordPress core, plugins, and themes to describe what they can do ("abilities") in a machine‑readable, human‑friendly form.
  • Scope: discovery, permissioning, and execution metadata only. Actual business logic stays inside the registering component.
  • Audience: plugin & theme authors, agency builders, and future AI / automation tools.

Design Goals

  1. Discoverability - every ability can be listed, queried, and inspected.
  2. Interoperability - a uniform schema lets unrelated components compose workflows.
  3. Security‑first - explicit permissions determine who/what may invoke an ability.
  4. Gradual adoption - ships first as a Composer package, migrates smoothly to core.

Developer Documentation

Inspiration

  • wp‑feature‑api - shared vision of declaring capabilities at the PHP layer.
  • Command Palette experiments in Gutenberg.
  • Modern AI assistant protocols (MCP, A2A).
