## Description

Keeping a WordPress site healthy is a hundred small jobs nobody has time for. Broken
links pile up. Images ship without alt text. Drafts are forgotten, plugins go stale,
the database fills with things no one needs. You only notice once something is already
wrong.

DecaCrew is a crew of ten agents that watch those hundred small things for you.

What makes it different is what it does when it finds something: **nothing, until
you say so.** Every issue becomes a proposal that explains what it found, why it
matters, and exactly what would change. You approve it or you don’t. And almost 
everything DecaCrew applies can be undone with one click.

#### Meet the crew

Each agent has one job and stays out of the way of the others.

 * **Site Guardian** — watches technical health: PHP errors grouped into readable
   patterns, updates ranked by what actually matters, expiring SSL, an ageing PHP
   version, a site that went quiet when it shouldn’t have.
 * **Bodyguard** — watches security: core files that no longer match WordPress’ 
   own, plugins that have been abandoned or have known vulnerabilities, login attacks,
   risky settings.
 * **Housekeeper** — keeps the database lean: old revisions, expired temporary data,
   heavy settings slowing every page load, tables left behind by plugins you removed.
   Before anything is removed you see a preview, and an export of the affected rows
   is written to your uploads folder first.
 * **Content Pilot** — finds content that has aged: posts nobody has touched in 
   years, drafts abandoned halfway, missing excerpts, articles competing with each
   other for the same topic.
 * **SEO Scout** — audits your pages: broken links, pages nothing links to, and —
   alongside Yoast, Rank Math, AIOSEO or SEOPress — missing titles and descriptions,
   written straight into whichever of them you use. Switch on 404 tracking and it
   will also suggest redirects for visitors landing on pages that no longer exist.
 * **Media Curator** — tidies your media library: images without alt text, files
   far larger than they need to be, duplicates, and files nothing on the site uses
   any more. Unused files are quarantined for thirty days before anything permanent
   happens.
 * **Order Watch** — for shops: orders stuck mid-checkout, a payment gateway quietly
   failing, an unusual run of refunds, orders worth a second look.
 * **Product Keeper** — for shops: half-finished product pages, stock about to run
   out based on how fast it actually sells, prices that contradict each other.
 * **Support Concierge** — collects messages from your contact forms into one inbox,
   sorts the urgent from the routine, and drafts replies for you to review.
 * **Insight Analyst** — a weekly written summary of how your site is doing, explaining
   what changed and why rather than handing you a wall of numbers.

Order Watch and Product Keeper stay asleep until WooCommerce is installed. Everything
else works on any site.

#### You are always the one deciding

 * **Changes are proposed, never applied.** Each proposal states its reason and 
   shows what would change before you accept it. One job runs on its own — Housekeeper’s
   daily clear-out of temporary data WordPress has already marked as expired — and
   you can switch that off in its settings.
 * **Undo is built in.** DecaCrew records how to reverse a change before making 
   it, so one click in the activity log puts things back.
 * **“No” means no.** Reject a proposal and the same suggestion stays away for a
   month, instead of reappearing at the next scan.
 * **Nothing is applied to something that moved.** If you edited the page after 
   the proposal was written, DecaCrew refuses to apply it and tells you why.
 * **Irreversible actions ask twice.** Sending an email or deleting files permanently
   requires an explicit confirmation.

#### AI is optional, and off

Every agent works completely without AI. All the detection runs on your own site
and finds exactly the same issues either way — AI only improves how a suggestion
is worded, plus two extras it can draft for you: a refreshed version of an outdated
post, and a description for a product that has none.

If you want that, connect your own account: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or any compatible
service, including one you run yourself. AI stays off until you switch it on and
choose a provider. When it is on, only the text a task actually needs is sent — 
with recognisable personal details such as email addresses, phone numbers, card 
and bank numbers and IP addresses stripped out first — and **Settings  AI provider**
shows you the log of exactly what was sent, entry by entry.

#### Quiet by design

 * **Nothing loads for your visitors.** DecaCrew adds no scripts or styles to your
   public site.
 * **One email at most.** Everything worth knowing arrives in a single daily or 
   weekly summary — never a message per event. You can turn it off.
 * **No nagging.** No dashboard notices, no popups, no interruptions outside DecaCrew’s
   own screens.

### External Services

DecaCrew works fully without any AI or third-party account. Two kinds of connections
exist: WordPress.org’s own APIs, used out of the box for update and integrity checks
exactly like WordPress core does, and optional third-party services that only ever
connect after you explicitly configure them.

#### WordPress.org APIs (built in)

Site Guardian and Bodyguard query `api.wordpress.org` for update changelogs, core
file checksums and plugin directory status, and the approved “restore a modified
core file” action downloads the pristine copy from `core.svn.wordpress.org` / `downloads.
wordpress.org`. These are the same wordpress.org services core itself relies on;
no personal data is sent.

#### AI providers (bring your own key, opt-in)

If you configure a provider, the plugin sends the task-specific text fragments needed
for the feature you run (for example a post excerpt for alt-text generation) to 
the provider you chose: OpenAI ([terms](https://openai.com/policies/terms-of-use),
[privacy](https://openai.com/policies/privacy-policy)), Anthropic ([terms](https://www.anthropic.com/legal/consumer-terms),
[privacy](https://www.anthropic.com/legal/privacy)), Google Gemini ([terms](https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/terms),
[privacy](https://policies.google.com/privacy)), or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint
you host (e.g. Ollama — data stays on your infrastructure). No data is sent before
you enable AI and choose a provider. Recognisable personal details — email addresses,
phone numbers, card and bank numbers, IP addresses — are removed before sending,
payloads are capped, and every request is listed with its exact contents under Settings
AI provider.

#### Freemius

Opt-in usage tracking and licensing by Freemius ([privacy](https://freemius.com/privacy/),
[terms](https://freemius.com/terms/)). Only active after you explicitly opt in on
the activation screen; skipping keeps the plugin 100% functional.

#### Vulnerability feed (opt-in)

Bodyguard can check installed plugins against WPScan ([terms](https://wpscan.com/terms/),
[privacy](https://automattic.com/privacy/)) using an API key you register yourself.
Nothing is sent until you save a key; only plugin slugs are transmitted — version
comparison happens on your site. Without a key, Bodyguard reports abandoned plugins
only and says so.

#### Link checking (toggleable)

SEO Scout’s external broken-link checker sends HTTP requests to URLs found in your
own content, to see which ones still resolve. Only the URL is requested; nothing
about your site is sent. It can be disabled in the agent’s settings.

#### Data stored on your own site

Two things worth naming explicitly, because they involve personal data even though
nothing is transmitted anywhere:

 * **Support Concierge** copies form submissions (name, email address, message) 
   from your form plugin into its own inbox table so it can triage them. This is
   your visitors’ data, already on your site; it never leaves it. The plugin registers
   WordPress’ personal-data exporter and eraser, so those submissions are included
   in the standard export and erase requests.
 * **The Pro waitlist** stores the email address you type into the “Go Pro” screen,
   in a table on your own site, only if you tick the consent box. It is not sent
   anywhere — there is no remote endpoint. You can remove it at any time by deleting
   the row, and uninstalling with data removal enabled drops the table.

## Installation

 1. Install and activate DecaCrew.
 2. A short setup wizard asks how thoroughly you want it to look around and where to
    send the summary email. You can skip it.
 3. The crew starts working in the background. Your first proposals appear under **
    DecaCrew  Approvals**.

Nothing else is required — no account, no API key, no configuration.

## FAQ

### Will it change anything without asking me?

Anything that touches your content, media, settings or shop is a proposal you approve
first, and almost all of them can be undone from the activity log afterwards.

There is one exception, and it is deliberate: Housekeeper clears out temporary data
that WordPress itself has already marked as expired, once a day, without asking.
It is routine cleaning of data nothing can use any more — and if you would rather
it asked, turn it off in Housekeeper’s settings.

### Do I need an API key?

No. DecaCrew is fully functional with no AI account at all. A key only changes how
proposals are worded, never what gets found.

### What data leaves my site?

Out of the box, only requests to WordPress.org itself — the same update, integrity
and directory checks WordPress core already makes. Nothing goes to any third party
unless you set one up yourself. The External Services section below lists everything.

### Do I need WooCommerce?

No. Without it, the two shop agents stay dormant and the rest of the crew works 
normally.

### Will it slow down my site?

Visitors load nothing extra: DecaCrew adds no scripts or styles to your public pages.
Its work happens in the background, in small batches that pause themselves if the
server is busy.

### What happens if I uninstall it?

Your data is kept by default, so you can reinstall without losing anything. If you
would rather remove everything, tick the option in **Settings  Advanced** before
deleting the plugin.

## Changelog

#### 1.0.0

 * First release. Ten agents: Site Guardian, Bodyguard, Housekeeper, Content Pilot,
   SEO Scout, Media Curator, Order Watch, Product Keeper, Support Concierge and 
   Insight Analyst.
 * Approval-first throughout: every action is a proposal you approve, the way to
   reverse it is recorded before it is applied, and one click in the activity log
   undoes it.
 * Declining a proposal keeps it away for thirty days; a proposal whose target changed
   in the meantime is refused rather than applied.
 * Optional AI with your own account (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or any compatible
   endpoint including one you host). Off by default — every agent works fully without
   it.
 * Nothing is loaded for your visitors, and everything worth knowing arrives in 
   a single digest email.
 * Translation-ready, right-to-left ready, and compatible with WooCommerce’s high-
   performance order storage.
