v0.1.0 — first public release

First public release of Agent Ready — an open-source WordPress plugin that turns a site into a first-class citizen of the AI-agent web. A single Context Profile (configured once under Tools → Context) drives every agent-facing surface: what's exposed, how it's served, and how it's scored.

Modules

Four coherent modules ship in v0.1, all driven by one profile:

• Markdown Views — deterministic HTML → Markdown rendering for any public URL, with three URL forms (.md path, ?format=md query, Accept: text/markdown content negotiation) and uniform 404 on denial. Per-post cache with content-hash invalidation, Gutenberg sidebar preview, WP-CLI command (wp agentready md preview), REST endpoint for admin tooling. Optional LLM cleanup pass with safety guard.
• LLMs Index — /llms.txt generator publishing a discovery surface for AI agents. Conflict detection against robots.txt. Editorial-entries admin UI for site owners to add curated non-WordPress URLs. Optional LLM-powered pass drafts per-entry descriptions from post content. WP-CLI: wp agentready llms-txt {status,regen,preview}.
• Context Score — 0–100 readiness audit across six weighted sub-scores (discoverability 20, content readability 15, schema coverage 10, exposure safety 15, integration health 15, Markdown conversion quality 25). Admin page under Tools → Context Score, Site Health integration, REST endpoint, WP-CLI wp agentready context-score recompute. LLM-generated narrative with rule-based fallback.
• Schema Coordination — detects whether your SEO plugin (Yoast, Rank Math, AIOSEO, The SEO Framework) already emits JSON-LD. When one is active, Agent Ready emits nothing competing. When none is active, optionally emits a native WebSite + Organization + per-content schema set (toggle in the Context Profile; default off) so the schema sub-score is achievable without a third-party plugin.

Privacy and storage

• No content leaves your server. Zero external HTTP calls in the deterministic surfaces.
• Optional LLM features (Markdown cleanup, /llms.txt descriptions, Context Score narrative) consult the WP AI Client only when explicitly toggled on.
• Two custom tables: {prefix}agentready_md_cache (one row per published post served as Markdown) and {prefix}agentready_score_audit_log (one row per audit run, retained for trend analysis). Both dropped on uninstall.

Requirements

• WordPress 6.9+
• PHP 7.4+
• WP AI Client (optional — required only by the LLM-using modules; deterministic features run fully locally without it)

Installation

Once approved on wp.org: search for "Agent Ready" in Plugins → Add New, or install via WP-CLI: wp plugin install agentready --activate.

Before wp.org approval: download the ZIP attached to this release and install via Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin.

Acknowledgements

• Layered CI (PHPCS WordPress + WordPressVIPMinimum, Plugin Check Tool, PHPStan level 5, PHPUnit unit × 2 PHP versions, PHPUnit integration × 4 cells) catches regressions before they ship.
• Built on the WordPress AI Client surface to keep AI provider integration WordPress-native rather than reinventing it.
