wp-abilities-api

separate

Use when working with the WordPress Abilities API (wp_register_ability, wp_register_ability_category, /wp-json/wp-abilities/v1/*, @wordpress/abilities) including defining abilities, categories, meta, REST exposure, and permissions checks for clients.

When to use

• registering abilities or ability categories in PHP,
• exposing abilities to clients via REST (`wp-abilities/v1`),
• consuming abilities in JS (notably `@wordpress/abilities`),
• diagnosing “ability doesn’t show up” / “client can’t see ability” / “REST returns empty”.
