System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

Fixes broken or unstyled WordPress admin form controls caused by incorrect enqueues, missing companion assets (CSS/JS), and subtle API/formatting mismatches when using core widgets.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Correct widget enqueues: Ensures wp-color-picker includes both script and stylesheet, and that wp-pointer uses both script and its required styles.
  • Core datepicker and formatting correctness: Handles the fact that jquery-ui-datepicker ships without default WP CSS, and applies the correct jQuery UI dateFormat plus strict server-side sanitization to store ISO Y-m-d safely.
  • Reliable autocomplete and pointer behavior: Uses proper jquery-ui-autocomplete source shapes (including async patterns using response()), and persists wp-pointer dismissal via core’s dismiss-wp-pointer convention.

Quick Start

Ask the AI to generate the exact WordPress admin enqueue + field markup + JS init needed for a settings page field that needs a color picker, a yy-mm-dd datepicker, and an async autocomplete with persisted onboarding tooltip.
