The problem, and the contract

AI tools for WordPress usually start as chat: ask, get generic advice, paste changes back by hand. Flavor Agent takes the opposite path — it treats WordPress itself as the workflow surface and asks how AI can edit a live site without becoming an unchecked actor. The visible demo is recommendations; the real product is a contract for safe AI-mediated change: bounded schemas, review gates, server-side attribution, freshness signatures, and drift-safe undo.

One governed loop

  • Generate. Recommendation abilities run through a shared executor that normalizes input, attaches guidelines, and records request diagnostics.
  • Validate. Output is constrained by strict JSON schemas (additionalProperties: false) and bounded operation catalogs — block, style, and template vocabularies only.
  • Review. Structural and theme-level changes are review-gated; inline-safe, review-safe, and advisory suggestions are kept distinct.
  • Apply & record. Applies owned by Flavor Agent write server-backed activity rows with provenance, before/after state, and undo state.
  • Reverse. Undo checks the live document still matches the recorded post-apply state; if the site drifted, undo fails closed instead of clobbering human edits.

Governance, demo, and proof as one operating surface
