Abilities Scout

Abilities Scout

Scan any installed WordPress plugin and discover potential abilities for the Abilities API (WP 6.9+). One click. Static analysis. No code execution.

What It Does

Abilities Scout uses PHP tokenization to read plugin source code and surface hooks, REST routes, and shortcodes that could become AI-callable abilities. It then scores every discovery using a point-based classification engine:

  • REST routes score highest — they are structured APIs already
  • Hooks with action verbs (submit, create, delete, export) score as tools
  • Hooks with data verbs (get, list, check, query) score as resources
  • Infrastructure plumbing (nonces, enqueue, CSS) is filtered out

The result: a ranked list of potential abilities with suggested names, confidence levels, type classification (tool vs resource), and exact source locations.

Export for AI Agents

After scanning, export results as Markdown or JSON. The Markdown export is designed for AI agent consumption — hand it to Claude, Cursor, or any AI coding tool and say “build these abilities.”
