What Claude can do in WordPress

The plugin in version 0.2.0 has 69 tools: 27 that only read and 42 that can change your site. The free TellMyShop Audit has 21 of them, all read only (marked yes in the Audit column). You tell Claude in plain words what you need, and Claude picks the tools itself.

Every tool that changes something shows a preview first and saves only after your yes. Most changes can be undone by asking Claude, from the change history. You switch groups on and off in TellMyShop > Scope of work. Blocks 3 to 5 are in TellMyShop > Technical work. The technical names (in code font) are for the person who helps you with the site.
