WordPress plugin proof

Weekly cleaning blog drafts, generated inside WordPress.

I built a lightweight installable plugin prototype that matches your scope: editorial topic calendar, Anthropic API settings, weekly WP-Cron generation, brand voice guardrails, and draft-post creation.

Editorial calendar engine

Custom WordPress table stores topics, target keywords, scheduled draft dates, generation status, and draft post IDs.

Anthropic settings page

Secure admin fields for API key, Claude model, brand voice rules, system prompt, and schedule tuning.

Weekly draft automation

WP-Cron selects the next queued topic, calls Anthropic, and saves the generated article as a normal WordPress draft.

What I would harden next

Nonce-protected manual “Generate now” action with progress states.
CSV import/export for larger rolling topic calendars.
Staging WordPress test pass, Loom walkthrough, install notes, and production polish.

Core generation flow

queued topic → brand/system prompt → Anthropic API
          → sanitized article HTML → WordPress draft post
          → topic marked drafted with post ID
