Intertexere

Contextual internal linking assistant for WordPress.

Intertexere helps WordPress editors discover useful internal-link opportunities while writing, understand the site's existing internal-link graph, and insert approved links without surrendering editorial control.

Intertexere is an open-source WordPress plugin under active development.

Core Principles

• WordPress remains the source of truth for site content.
• Intertexere stores only rebuildable analysis data and intentional plugin preferences.
• AI suggestions are advisory.
• Post content is not changed without explicit editor approval.
• Inserted links remain normal WordPress links.
• AI provider support should use WordPress-native provider-agnostic infrastructure where practical.
• AI or indexing failures must not break normal WordPress editing or publishing.
• Useful contextual relationships matter more than arbitrary internal-link quotas.

Initial Platform Baseline

• WordPress 7.1+
• Block Editor
• WordPress Abilities API
• WordPress AI Client
• WordPress Connectors API

Specific API usage is verified against the pinned WordPress 7.1 runtime and Core source before production use.

Development Status

Milestones 0.1 through 0.6 are implemented. The 0.6.1 maintenance patch adds bounded, insertion-aware suggestion locations, destination-specific anchor selection, and precise fail-safe read-only explanations. The 0.6.2 maintenance correction rejects shared boilerplate headings as insertion evidence while preserving destination-specific titles and unique headings. Plugin version is 0.6.2 and schema remains version 2.

The initial roadmap is:

1. plugin foundation and content indexing
2. internal-link graph
3. read-only editor suggestions
4. WordPress-native AI integration
5. explicit link insertion
6. site-level internal-link auditing
