Usage Examples

[](#usage-examples)

### REST API

[](#rest-api)

```
# Check for updates
curl -X GET "https://yoursite.com/wp-json/wp-abilities/v1/abilities/site-manager/check-updates/run" \
  -H "Authorization: Basic BASE64_ENCODED_APP_PASSWORD"

# Create a post with custom taxonomy
curl -X POST "https://yoursite.com/wp-json/wp-abilities/v1/abilities/site-manager/create-post/run" \
  -H "Authorization: Basic BASE64_ENCODED_APP_PASSWORD" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"input":{"title":"My Post","content":"Content here","status":"publish","taxonomies":{"my_custom_tax":[1,2,3]}}}'

# Set terms for a custom post type
curl -X POST "https://yoursite.com/wp-json/wp-abilities/v1/abilities/site-manager/set-post-terms/run" \
  -H "Authorization: Basic BASE64_ENCODED_APP_PASSWORD" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"input":{"id":123,"taxonomy":"product_cat","terms":[5,10]}}'
```

### PHP

[](#php)

```
// Check updates
$ability = wp_get_ability( 'site-manager/check-updates' );
$updates = $ability->execute( [ 'type' => 'all' ] );

// Create a post with custom taxonomies
$ability = wp_get_ability( 'site-manager/create-post' );
$result = $ability->execute([
    'title' => 'My New Post',
    'content' => 'Post content here',
    'status' => 'publish',
    'taxonomies' => [
        'category' => [1, 2],
        'post_tag' => [5, 6, 7],
        'my_custom_tax' => [10, 11],
    ],
]);
```

Authentication
--------------

[](#authentication)

Use WordPress Application Passwords for REST API authentication:

1. Go to Users → Your Profile
2. Scroll to "Application Passwords"
3. Create new application password
4. Use Basic Auth: `Authorization: Basic base64(username:app_password)`

AI Integration
--------------

[](#ai-integration)

This plugin is designed for AI agent integration via:

- **REST API** - Any AI can call abilities via HTTP
- **MCP Adapter** - Claude, GPT can use abilities as tools
- **Agentic Loops** - AI decides which abilities to call

Example AI workflow:

```
User: "Check my site and update everything safely"

AI Agent:
1. Calls site-manager/health-check
2. Calls site-manager/check-updates
3. Calls site-manager/create-backup
4. Calls site-manager/update-all with stop_on_error=true
5. If errors: reports issues, suggests rollback
6. If success: calls site-manager/health-check again
7. Returns summary to user

```
