Description
Blocksmith Prompts adds an AI Content Generator panel to the Gutenberg block editor sidebar. Write a prompt, optionally use your existing post as context, review the generated content, and insert it directly into the editor as properly structured native blocks — headings, lists, paragraphs, and more.
How it works:
- Open any post or page in the block editor.
- Find the AI Content Generator panel in the Document sidebar.
- Click Generate from context to open the modal.
- Enter a prompt describing what you want written.
- Click Generate — the plugin sends your prompt (plus current post content as context) to the configured AI connector.
- Review and optionally edit the result in the modal.
- Click Insert into editor to add the content as native blocks at the current cursor position.
Key features:
- Uses the WordPress Abilities API — no third-party SDK required.
- Markdown output is automatically converted to proper Gutenberg blocks (headings, lists, bold, italic, and more).
- Supports any REST-enabled post type.
- Shows a notice if no AI connector is configured, with a direct link to manage connectors.
- Regenerate as many times as needed before inserting.
Requirements:
This plugin requires:
- WordPress 7.0+ (with core AI support enabled)
- The official WordPress AI plugin installed and active
- An AI connector configured under Settings Connectors

FAQ
-
Does this plugin work without the WordPress AI plugin?
-
No. Blocksmith Prompts uses the WordPress Abilities API, which is provided by the WordPress AI feature plugin. Both must be active.
-
Which AI providers are supported?
-
Any provider supported by the WordPress AI plugin and its connector system — the list grows as the AI plugin adds new connectors.
-
Will the generated content overwrite my existing post?
-
No. Content is inserted at the current cursor position in the editor, leaving all existing blocks untouched.
-
Can I edit the generated content before inserting?
-
Yes. The modal shows an editable textarea with the generated output. Edit freely before clicking Insert into editor.
