SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

WordPress plugin and theme authors often struggle to publish a stable, machine-readable surface for their features. The Abilities API provides a single, discoverable registry that AI agents and external tools can query and invoke safely, reducing bespoke integration work.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Register on wp_abilities_api_init to declare abilities with label, description, category, input_schema, output_schema, execute_callback, and permission_callback.
  • Use meta.show_in_rest to expose the ability via WordPress REST endpoints for authenticated clients.
  • Follow the public contract naming: namespace/ability-name to create stable APIs for AI adapters and MCP workflows.

Quick Start

Register your plugin's first Ability on the wp_abilities_api_init action, define input_schema/output_schema, and implement a permission_callback.
