What is the WordPress Ability API?

It is a standardized system within WordPress used to register and discover distinct units of functionality, making them accessible to AI agents and automation tools through machine-readable schemas.

How do I validate my new WordPress Ability?

The skill provides specific validation scripts (validate-ability.php and validate-ability.js) that check for proper structure, JSON schema validity, and security best practices.

Can I use this to create custom categories for my abilities?

Absolutely. Use the scaffold-category script to generate validated code for custom categories like 'data-retrieval' or 'e-commerce'.

Does this skill support both PHP and JavaScript?

Yes, the skill includes templates and scaffolding scripts for both server-side (PHP) and client-side (JavaScript) abilities.

What WordPress versions are supported?

The API is included in core for WordPress 6.9+. For older versions, the skill provides instructions on installing the Abilities API as a plugin or Composer dependency.
