What problem does it solve?
This skill solves the problem of correctly registering and managing WordPress 7.0 Connectors API metadata so external services (especially AI providers) appear in Settings > Connectors with the right authentication behavior and secure API key handling.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Connector registration workflow: Use the wp_connectors_init hook and WP_Connector_Registry register/lookup functions to expose connector metadata for UI and discovery.
- Authentication and key priority guidance: Configure api_key vs none authentication and understand environment variable, constant, and database option precedence while keeping secrets masked.
- AI-provider integration rules: Avoid duplicating AI connectors that are auto-discovered via the WP AI Client registry, and use safe metadata override patterns when you need customization.
Quick Start
Register or review how your plugin configures the Connectors API by asking the AI to draft a wp_connectors_init callback that registers a non-AI connector with api_key authentication and safe env/constant/database key precedence for WordPress 7.0.
