Content Architecture WordPress Abilities

SCOS Abilities API for content architecture tasks

SCOS registers discrete AI-powered tasks as WordPress Abilities — small, single-purpose tools that run inside WordPress using the native WP AI connector. Each ability does one thing well and is callable from the post editor, via REST API, or by any MCP-authenticated client.

Abilities are registered via the WordPress Abilities API and extend Abstract_Ability from the WP AI plugin. The AI call routes through the WP AI connector — whichever provider is configured on the site (Anthropic, Google, OpenAI) — rather than calling an API directly.

For content suggestion tasks, SCOS uses Claude Haiku: fast, cost-efficient, and well-suited to discrete and structured output tasks.

After a SCOS ability makes its first AI call, site-essentials appears in the Connector Approvals screen (wp-admin/tools.php?page=ai-connector-approval) as a mu-plugin type caller. Approve it once and all subsequent calls go through automatically.

Registered SCOS abilities appear in the Abilities Explorer at wp-admin/tools.php?page=ai-abilities-explorer.
