Wp Abilities Api

If you're working with WordPress 6.9+ and need to register abilities, expose them via REST, or consume them in JavaScript using @wordpress/abilities, this skill walks you through the whole flow. It covers PHP registration with wp_register_ability, REST endpoint verification under wp-abilities/v1, and client-side consumption. The debug section is genuinely helpful because "ability doesn't show up" usually means you missed show_in_rest in meta or hooked registration at the wrong time. It assumes you're comfortable with filesystem agents, WP-CLI, and can run wp-project-triage first. Honestly, it's narrow but thorough, exactly what you want when adopting a newer core API.
