# Clarification Quiz Enhancement - Implementation Summary
|
||||
|
||||
## Completed Backend Improvements ✅
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Settings Configuration (`includes/class-settings.php`)
|
||||
|
||||
**Added three new settings:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Enable Clarification Quiz** (Checkbox)
|
||||
- Default: `true`
|
||||
- Allows users to completely enable/disable the quiz
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Confidence Threshold** (Select dropdown)
|
||||
- Options: 0.5 (Very Sensitive), 0.6 (Sensitive - Recommended), 0.7 (Balanced), 0.8 (Strict - Current), 0.9 (Very Strict)
|
||||
- Default: `0.6` (lowered from hardcoded 0.8)
|
||||
- Lower threshold = quiz appears more frequently
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Required Context Categories** (Multi-select)
|
||||
- 7 categories: Target Outcome, Target Audience, Tone, Content Depth, Expertise Level, Content Type, POV
|
||||
- Default: All categories selected
|
||||
- Users can deselect categories they don't need
|
||||
|
||||
**Files Modified:**
|
||||
- `class-settings.php:233` - Sanitization for enable checkbox
|
||||
- `class-settings.php:246-256` - Sanitization for threshold and categories
|
||||
- `class-settings.php:280-291` - Extract settings from database
|
||||
- `class-settings.php:537-633` - Settings UI HTML
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Enhanced System Prompt (`includes/class-gutenberg-sidebar.php`)
|
||||
|
||||
**Updated the clarity check system prompt to:**
|
||||
|
||||
- **Evaluate 7 context categories** instead of 3 (topic, audience, scope)
|
||||
- **Use configurable threshold** from settings (no longer hardcoded 0.8)
|
||||
- **Generate only predefined options** - explicitly forbids `open_text` questions
|
||||
- **Include category labels** in questions for better UX
|
||||
- **Calculate confidence** by subtracting 15% per missing category
|
||||
|
||||
**New Categories:**
|
||||
1. `target_outcome` - Education/Marketing/Sales/Entertainment/Brand Awareness
|
||||
2. `target_audience` - Demographics, role, knowledge level
|
||||
3. `tone` - Formal/Casual/Technical/Friendly/Professional/Conversational
|
||||
4. `content_depth` - Quick Overview/Standard Guide/Detailed Analysis/Comprehensive
|
||||
5. `expertise_level` - Beginner/Intermediate/Advanced/Expert
|
||||
6. `content_type` - Tutorial/Opinion/Comparison/Listicle/Case Study/News Analysis
|
||||
7. `pov` - First Person/Third Person/Expert Voice/Neutral
|
||||
|
||||
**Files Modified:**
|
||||
- `class-gutenberg-sidebar.php:1186-1213` - Settings integration in `handle_check_clarity()`
|
||||
- `class-gutenberg-sidebar.php:1224-1268` - New system prompt
|
||||
- `class-gutenberg-sidebar.php:1590-1673` - Same updates in private `check_clarity_before_generation()`
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Fallback Helper Method
|
||||
|
||||
**Created `get_default_clarification_questions()` method:**
|
||||
|
||||
- **Provides 7 predefined question templates** with curated options
|
||||
- **Used when AI fails** (API errors, JSON parse errors)
|
||||
- **Respects user's category selection** from settings
|
||||
- **No more skipping the quiz** on errors - always shows fallback questions
|
||||
|
||||
**Question Templates Include:**
|
||||
- Target outcome: 5 options (Education, Marketing, Sales, Entertainment, Brand Awareness)
|
||||
- Target audience: 5 options (General Public, Professionals, Customers, Users, Peers)
|
||||
- Tone: 5 options (Professional, Friendly, Technical, Casual, Formal)
|
||||
- Content depth: 4 options (Quick Overview, Standard Guide, Detailed Analysis, Comprehensive)
|
||||
- Expertise level: 4 options (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, Expert)
|
||||
- Content type: 6 options (Tutorial, Opinion, Comparison, Listicle, Case Study, News Analysis)
|
||||
- POV: 4 options (Third Person, First Person, Expert Voice, Neutral)
|
||||
|
||||
**Files Modified:**
|
||||
- `class-gutenberg-sidebar.php:1687-1808` - New helper method
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Improved Error Handling
|
||||
|
||||
**Updated both clarity check methods to use fallback:**
|
||||
|
||||
**Before:**
|
||||
```php
|
||||
if ( is_wp_error( $response ) ) {
|
||||
return array( 'is_clear' => true, 'confidence' => 1.0, 'questions' => array() );
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**After:**
|
||||
```php
|
||||
if ( is_wp_error( $response ) ) {
|
||||
error_log( 'WP Agentic Writer: Clarity check API error - ' . $response->get_error_message() );
|
||||
return $this->get_default_clarification_questions( $topic );
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Benefits:**
|
||||
- Quiz still appears even when AI fails
|
||||
- Logs errors for debugging
|
||||
- Better user experience (doesn't silently skip context gathering)
|
||||
|
||||
**Files Modified:**
|
||||
- `class-gutenberg-sidebar.php:1283-1311` - Error handling in `handle_check_clarity()`
|
||||
- `class-gutenberg-sidebar.php:1677-1693` - Error handling in `check_clarity_before_generation()`
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. Clarification Answers Integration
|
||||
|
||||
**Added clarification context to plan generation:**
|
||||
|
||||
- **Extracts answers from request parameters**
|
||||
- **Formats answers by category with labels**
|
||||
- **Adds context section to AI prompt** before generating outline
|
||||
- **Respects skipped answers** (excludes them from context)
|
||||
|
||||
**Context Format in Prompt:**
|
||||
```
|
||||
=== CONTEXT FROM CLARIFICATION QUIZ ===
|
||||
- Primary Goal: Education - Teach something new
|
||||
- Target Audience: General public / Beginners
|
||||
- Tone of Voice: Friendly & Conversational
|
||||
- Content Depth: Standard guide (800-1500 words)
|
||||
- Expertise Level: Beginner - No prior knowledge
|
||||
- Content Type: Tutorial / How-to guide
|
||||
- Point of View: Third person (objective, "it", "they")
|
||||
=== END CONTEXT ===
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Files Modified:**
|
||||
- `class-gutenberg-sidebar.php:344-365` - Extract clarification answers in `handle_generate_plan()`
|
||||
- `class-gutenberg-sidebar.php:470` - Added parameter to `stream_generate_plan()`
|
||||
- `class-gutenberg-sidebar.php:496-530` - Build and format clarification context
|
||||
- `class-gutenberg-sidebar.php:576` - Inject context into AI prompt
|
||||

## What Changed & Why It Matters
|
||||
|
||||
### Problem Solved: Quiz Was Too Rare
|
||||
|
||||
**Root Causes Fixed:**
|
||||
1. ✅ **Lowered threshold** from 0.8 to 0.6 (configurable)
|
||||
2. ✅ **More categories to check** (7 instead of 3)
|
||||
3. ✅ **Better fallback** (no longer skips on errors)
|
||||
4. ✅ **Strict confidence calculation** (15% deduction per missing category)
|
||||
|
||||
### Problem Solved: Lack of Context
|
||||
|
||||
**Categories Added:**
|
||||
- ✅ Target outcome (education/marketing/sales/etc)
|
||||
- ✅ Tone of voice (formal/casual/technical)
|
||||
- ✅ Content depth (overview/guide/analysis)
|
||||
- ✅ Expertise level (beginner/intermediate/advanced)
|
||||
- ✅ Content type (tutorial/opinion/how-to)
|
||||
- ✅ Point of view (first/third person/expert)
|
||||
|
||||
### Problem Solved: User-Friendly Options
|
||||
|
||||
**Improvements:**
|
||||
- ✅ All questions use predefined options (no typing)
|
||||
- ✅ Users can configure which categories matter
|
||||
- ✅ Users can adjust sensitivity
|
||||
- ✅ Users can disable quiz entirely if desired
|
||||

## Pending Work (Optional)
|
||||
|
||||
### Frontend Enhancements (`assets/js/sidebar.js`)
|
||||
|
||||
These are **optional improvements** to the user interface:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Add category labels** to question cards
|
||||
- Show emoji icons for each category (🎯 Goal, 👥 Audience, etc.)
|
||||
- Display category badges above questions
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Enhanced progress display**
|
||||
- Show which categories are already clear
|
||||
- Display "Already know: Goal, Audience, Tone"
|
||||
- Better visual feedback on quiz progress
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Skip button** for each question
|
||||
- Allow marking questions as "not applicable"
|
||||
- Prevents users from getting stuck on irrelevant questions
|
||||
|
||||
**Note:** The current frontend will work without these changes. The quiz will just look the same as before, but with better questions and more frequent appearance.
|
||||

|
||||
|

|
||||
|
||||
## Database Migration
|
||||
|
||||
No database migration needed. All settings use WordPress options API with sensible defaults:
|
||||
|
||||
```php
|
||||
// New settings with defaults
|
||||
$settings['enable_clarification_quiz'] = true;
|
||||
$settings['clarity_confidence_threshold'] = '0.6';
|
||||
$settings['required_context_categories'] = array(
|
||||
'target_outcome',
|
||||
'target_audience',
|
||||
'tone',
|
||||
'content_depth',
|
||||
'expertise_level',
|
||||
'content_type',
|
||||
'pov',
|
||||
);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Settings will be created automatically on first save.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Rollback Plan
|
||||
|
||||
If issues occur, revert in this order:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Revert settings changes** in `class-settings.php`
|
||||
- Lines 233, 246-256, 280-291, 537-633
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Revert system prompt** in `class-gutenberg-sidebar.php`
|
||||
- Restore original 3-criteria check (topic, audience, scope)
|
||||
- Restore hardcoded 0.8 threshold
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Revert fallback method**
|
||||
- Remove `get_default_clarification_questions()` method
|
||||
- Restore "assume clear" error handling
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Revert clarification integration**
|
||||
- Remove `$clarification_answers` parameter
|
||||
- Remove context building code
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Success Metrics
|
||||
|
||||
✅ **Settings UI** - 3 new fields with proper sanitization
|
||||
✅ **Configurable threshold** - Dynamic value from settings (0.6 default)
|
||||
✅ **7 context categories** - Expanded from 3
|
||||
✅ **Predefined options only** - No open_text questions
|
||||
✅ **Fallback questions** - Works even when AI fails
|
||||
✅ **Plan integration** - Clarification answers inform article structure
|
||||
✅ **Error logging** - All errors logged for debugging
|
||||
✅ **Backward compatible** - No breaking changes to existing functionality
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Next Steps
|
||||
|
||||
The backend implementation is **complete and functional**. The clarification quiz will now:
|
||||
|
||||
1. ✅ Appear more frequently (60% threshold vs 80%)
|
||||
2. ✅ Ask better questions with predefined options
|
||||
3. ✅ Gather comprehensive context (7 categories)
|
||||
4. ✅ Use fallback when AI fails
|
||||
5. ✅ Pass answers to plan generation for better articles
|
||||
|
||||
**Optional frontend enhancements** can be added later for improved UX, but are not required for the system to work.
