Technical Highlights

  • OOP PHP architecture — Singleton main class, separated concerns (Settings, API Client, AJAX Handler)
  • Security-first — Nonce verification, capability checks, input sanitization, output escaping
  • Gutenberg native — Built with @wordpress/plugins, @wordpress/components, @wordpress/data
  • Clean API abstraction — OpenAI client class with structured prompts and proper error handling via WP_Error
  • WordPress Settings API — Full admin settings page with sanitization and whitelisted model selection
