Wp Abilities Audit

If you're rolling out WordPress's Abilities API across a plugin or a suite of plugins, this skill generates the planning artifact you'd otherwise spend hours writing by hand. It walks the REST controller tree, traces capability gates, and outputs a structured markdown doc with YAML schemas and prose that both humans and agents can parse. The semantic-intent grouping is the real value here: instead of atomizing one ability per HTTP method, it clusters routes by real-world questions (can this user manage subscriptions, can they read analytics). The output includes risk notes, seed data requirements, and a reference-ability designation so implementers know where to start. It's a pre-flight check and a scoping doc in one pass.

WP Abilities Audit

Produce a standardized audit document for a WordPress plugin's REST surface, proposing a set of Abilities API registrations grouped by semantic intent. The audit doc is a planning artifact for implementers — humans, agents, or both — that captures the controller inventory, capability gates, and proposed ability shapes in a structured form. A reviewer reading the doc can scope the work without re-deriving the survey.

This skill works on any plugin that exposes a REST surface. Plugin classification (for purposes of the optional plugin_family annotation) is the user's call; the workflow itself is plugin-agnostic.

When to use

The task is "register Abilities API abilities for a WP plugin" and no audit doc exists yet.
Planning participation in a multi-plugin abilities rollout and need a shareable, standardized audit artifact.
Pre-flight checking a plugin's agent-readiness before implementing abilities.
A PM or non-implementer wants to scope the work before engineering picks it up.
