Readme

Gutenberg Times Curator

A WordPress plugin that streamlines curation of the Gutenberg Times Weekend Edition newsletter. It pulls articles from Feedbin, uses AI to categorize and score them, lets the editor approve and generate summaries, and inserts the final block markup into a WordPress post.

Workflow

Feedbin  →  Fetch  →  Categorize (AI)  →  Approve  →  Summarize (AI)  →  Insert into Post
  1. Fetch — Pull unread articles from Feedbin RSS feeds
  2. Categorize — AI classifies each article into newsletter categories with a 0-100 relevance score
  3. Approve — DataViews table with filtering, sorting, category grouping, and include toggles
  4. Summarize — AI generates 70-85 word summaries in the Gutenberg Times editorial style
  5. Insert — Block markup (headings + paragraphs) merged into a selected WordPress post, grouped by category

Requirements

  • WordPress 7.0+ (for WP AI Client)
  • PHP 8.0+
  • Node.js 18+
  • Feedbin account
  • AI provider configured in Settings > AI Credentials (Claude recommended)

Setup

  1. Clone into your wp-content/plugins/ directory
  2. Install dependencies and build:
    npm install
npm run build
  3. Activate the plugin in WordPress
  4. Go to GT Curator > Settings and enter your Feedbin credentials
  5. Ensure an AI provider is configured in Settings > AI Credentials

Development

npm run start    # Watch mode with hot reload
npm run build    # Production build
npm run lint:js  # Lint JavaScript
npm run lint:css # Lint CSS

Architecture

  • PHP REST API endpoints under gt-curator/v1/ for Feedbin proxy, AI calls, state persistence, and post insertion
  • React admin UI built with @wordpress/dataviews, @wordpress/components, and @wordpress/api-fetch
  • WP AI Client integration for provider-agnostic AI (categorization and summarization)
  • Anthropic custom skill support — when Claude is the configured provider, summarization uses the Gutenberg Times Summarizer skill for higher quality output
  • Bot user (gt-curator-bot) for post insertions, keeping revision history clean
