## Description

MentoClasses scans your stylesheets, builds a searchable library of every CSS class
on your site, and gives you a dedicated search panel inside the Gutenberg editor.
Designers can search by name, description, or tag, then copy any class to the clipboard
with one click and paste it into the page builder’s own field.

The plugin never modifies the editor’s native “Additional CSS class(es)” field. 
It only provides a read-only search interface — your existing workflow stays exactly
as it was.

#### Features

 * Standalone search panel inside the Gutenberg editor
 * Copy any class to the clipboard with one click
 * Add descriptions and free-text tags to every class — searchable from the panel
 * Per-user favorites and most-used classes shown first
 * Manage the full class library from a clean admin table with filters and bulk 
   actions
 * Auto-scan on stylesheet change, scheduled scans, or manual rescan
 * Editor-and-above role permissions, configurable

#### Privacy

MentoClasses reads your local stylesheets and stores classes in your local database
only. No external API calls, no tracking, no telemetry, no phone-home.

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/` or install via the Plugins screen.
 2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress.
 3. Go to **MentoClasses  Class Library** in the admin sidebar.
 4. Click **Re-scan stylesheets** to build your initial library.
 5. Edit any post or page in Gutenberg. Open the MentoClasses sidebar from the top-
    right plugin menu (the editor-code icon).
 6. Search for a class, click the copy icon, and paste it into the block’s Additional
    CSS class(es) field.

## FAQ

### Does this plugin change my CSS or my pages?

No. The plugin only reads your stylesheets. It does not modify CSS files, post content,
or the native Gutenberg className field. Designers manually copy and paste classes.

### Does it work with Elementor or WPBakery?

Not yet. Phase 1 supports Gutenberg only. Elementor and WPBakery integration is 
planned for a future release.

### Where are descriptions and tags stored?

In a custom database table inside your WordPress installation. They are preserved
across re-scans.

### Does it send any data externally?

No. The plugin makes zero external network requests. Everything stays in your local
database.

### How do I add a description or tags to a class?

Open **MentoClasses  Class Library**, find the class, click Edit, fill in the description
and tags fields, then save.
