## बिबरन

**Chagency** is built directly on the AI Client that shipped in WordPress 7.0: `
wp_ai_client_prompt()`, Connectors, and the Abilities API. Every prompt flows through
WordPress core, every provider is a Connector you already configured under **Settings
Connectors**, and the assistant can call the abilities your site registers.

That last part is what makes it an agent rather than a chat box. Tick the abilities
you want it to reach, and the model can use them mid-conversation to answer you:
WordPress converts each one into a tool the model understands, runs it, and checks
that ability’s own permissions first. Ask “what’s my site running on?” and it goes
and looks, instead of guessing.

It runs in the WordPress admin and, when you turn it on, on every page of your public
site. The name (chat + ai + ency) is meant as a small bridge between the new AI 
primitives shipped with WordPress and the broader world of chat and agents.

### 🪨 Built on WordPress, period

Chagency relies entirely on what WordPress 7 ships in core:

 * `wp_ai_client_prompt()`, the AI Client API.
 * `using_abilities()` and `WP_AI_Client_Ability_Function_Resolver`, core’s own 
   tool-calling bridge.
 * `wp_get_connectors()`, the Connectors API.
 * `wp_register_ability()` / `wp_get_ability()` / `wp_get_abilities()`, the Abilities
   API.
 * `@wordpress/components`, `@wordpress/element`, `@wordpress/boot`, the Gutenberg
   toolkit.

That is the entire dependency surface. **No bundled AI vendor SDKs, no third-party
JavaScript libraries beyond the Gutenberg stack, no telemetry, no phone-home.** 
The plugin stays small on purpose: fewer moving parts means less friction, fewer
security holes, less to break when WordPress, browsers, or providers change.

You will need at least one AI provider plugin (e.g. _AI Provider for Anthropic_,
_AI Provider for Google_, _AI Provider for OpenAI_) to talk to a model. That is 
WordPress 7’s architecture: providers are separate plugins that register a Connector.
They are not a Chagency dependency.

💡 **Tip:** For the smoothest setup, install [AI Engine](https://wordpress.org/plugins/ai-engine/).
It registers every AI provider it manages as a Connector, so a single configuration
covers all your WordPress 7 AI plugins (including Chagency). Every request then 
flows through one clean, unified system.

### 🪄 What you get

 * A floating chat panel pinned to the bottom-right of every page (admin and / or
   public site, controlled by two independent toggles).
 * A single settings page under **Settings  Chagency**, with the bare minimum: where
   to show the chatbot, the chat title, the greeting, the system instruction, the
   model preference, and which abilities the assistant may use.
 * Abilities, opt-in one by one. Every ability registered on your site (by core,
   by Chagency, by any other plugin) can be handed to the assistant, and each call
   is shown under the reply so you can see what it actually did.
 * Live updates: flipping a toggle in Settings shows or hides the launcher immediately
   on the same page, no reload needed.
 * Per-provider **Test** buttons that fire a canary prompt and report round-trip
   time.
 * Conversation persistence in your browser’s localStorage, scoped per user.
 * Failures explained in plain words (rejected key, rate limit, provider down, conversation
   too long) with a _Try again_ button, so a hiccup never costs you what you typed.
 * Placeholder expansion (`{user_name}`, `{site_name}`, `{current_page}`, `{current_url}`,`{
   user_role}`, `{site_url}`) so the assistant always knows who and where it is.
 * Exposed as an Ability (`chagency/send-message`) so other plugins, MCP clients,
   and AI agents can invoke Chagency directly.

### 🚀 Getting started

 1. Install and activate **Chagency**.
 2. Install and configure at least one AI provider plugin under **Settings  Connectors**(
    we recommend [AI Engine](https://wordpress.org/plugins/ai-engine/), which exposes
    all its providers as Connectors at once).
 3. Click the chat launcher in the bottom-right of any admin page and start talking.
 4. Want it on the public site too? Open **Settings  Chagency** and flip the second
    toggle.

### 🙋 Frequently Asked Questions

#### Why “Chagency”?

It’s a portmanteau of _chat_, _AI_, and a bit of _agent_. Not “agency” in the sense
of a marketing shop. The plugin starts as a minimal chatbot for the new WordPress
7 AI framework and grows alongside the Abilities API into a true agent.

#### Does it need WordPress 7?

Yes. It uses `wp_ai_client_prompt()`, `wp_get_connectors()`, and the Abilities API,
all added in WordPress 7.0. On older versions it refuses to boot and tells you why.
WordPress 7.1 is recommended.

#### How do abilities work, and is it safe?

Open **Settings  Chagency**, turn on _Let the assistant use abilities_, then tick
the ones you want to allow. Nothing is allowed by default.

Three things keep it tight. Only the abilities you ticked are ever offered to the
model. WordPress runs each ability itself and checks that ability’s own `permission_callback`
for the person chatting, so the assistant can never do more than that user could.
And abilities are admin-only: the public widget never gets them, even when you turn
the public site on.

Each reply lists the abilities it used, so nothing happens off-screen.

#### Which abilities can it use?

Whatever is registered on your site. WordPress ships `core/get-site-info`, `core/
get-user-info` and `core/get-environment-info`, and any plugin can register more.
They all show up in the list.

#### Which AI providers are supported?

Whatever you configure under **Settings  Connectors**. Chagency is provider-agnostic.
Anthropic, Google, OpenAI, or any third-party Connector are treated equally.

#### Can visitors on the front end use it?

Yes. Open **Settings  Chagency** and turn on _Show on the public site_. The chat
then appears for every visitor, signed in or not.

#### Does it store my conversations?

No. Conversations live only in your own browser (localStorage, per user). Hit _Reset_
in the panel to clear them. Nothing is stored server-side.

#### Can I use it as a building block in my own plugin?

Yes. The `chagency/send-message` Ability is registered on `wp_abilities_api_init`
and can be called with `wp_get_ability( 'chagency/send-message' )->execute( array('
message' => '...' ) )`.

### Source code

The unminified React / JavaScript source is shipped inside the plugin folder under`
src/`, alongside the compiled output in `build/`. Public source repository: https://
github.com/jordymeow/chagency

To rebuild from source:

    ```
    pnpm install && pnpm run build
    ```

The build is `@wordpress/scripts` (webpack) with no custom plugins or transforms.
