# WP Agentic Writer

**Plan-first AI writing workflow for WordPress**

A WordPress plugin that transforms how developers and technical writers create blog posts. Instead of the traditional "blank page → write → edit" workflow, it implements a multi-phase agentic AI workflow:

```
Scribble (Ideas) → Research → Plan (Outline) → Execute (Write) → Discussion/Revise
```

2. **Research** - Optional web search for current information (via OpenRouter)
3. **Plan** - Generate structured outline with H2 sections
4. **Execute** - Auto-generate full article from plan
5. **Revise** - Regenerate individual blocks or sections
