## Description

**RoutineKit** solves the agency problem of replicating the same WordPress configuration
changes across dozens or hundreds of client sites.

Build reusable, step-by-step configuration checklists inside one site, then run 
them anywhere. Each step includes instructions, a direct deep-link to the exact 
settings page, and optional evidence capture — so your team always knows what was
done, when, and by whom.

#### Core Features (Free)

 * **Workflow Builder** — create reusable configuration checklists with step-by-
   step instructions
 * **Guided Runner** — a floating sidebar that walks your team through each step
   and links directly to the right settings page
 * **Auto-Capture** — RoutineKit watches wp_options changes as you configure a site
   and offers to turn them into workflow steps automatically
 * **25+ Deep-Links** — pre-built links to the most common WordPress, WooCommerce,
   Yoast SEO, Wordfence, and UpdraftPlus settings pages
 * **5 Starter Templates** — New Site Setup, Security Hardening, WooCommerce Launch,
   SEO Setup, Site Migration
 * **JSON Export/Import** — share workflows between sites via JSON file or URL
 * **Import from URL** — import any shared workflow directly from a URL (requires
   a connected RoutineKit account)

#### Pro Features (Agency / Agency Pro)

 * **SaaS Dashboard** — manage and assign workflows across all your client sites
   from one central dashboard
 * **Site Groups & Fleet Assignment** — push workflows to groups of client sites
   from your dashboard
 * **Note Sharing** — share step notes across sites via the central dashboard
 * **Evidence Capture** — upload screenshots or PDFs as proof of completion per 
   step
 * **Audit Trail** — full timestamped log of who completed what and when, with before/
   after option snapshots
 * **Progress Sync** — execution progress synced back to your central dashboard
 * **Priority Support** — dedicated support for Agency and Agency Pro subscribers

#### How It Works

 1. **Build** — create a workflow with named steps, instructions, and deep-links
 2. **Run** — click Run on any workflow to open the floating Runner sidebar
 3. **Follow** — the Runner walks you through each step, links you to the right page,
    and tracks your progress
 4. **Done** — all steps completed? RoutineKit marks the run complete with a full audit
    trail

#### Auto-Capture

Turn live configuration sessions into documented workflows automatically. RoutineKit
monitors wp_options changes as you navigate through settings pages and offers to
add them as workflow steps — with the exact option values captured for future reference.

### External Services

RoutineKit communicates with an external service **only when you explicitly connect
to RoutineKit Cloud**. No data is sent to any external server without an active 
connection.

#### RoutineKit Cloud

When you enter a license key and connect to RoutineKit Cloud, this plugin sends 
data to and receives data from `https://app.routinekit.dev`.

**Data sent:**
 * Your site URL, site name, and WordPress version (on connect and
heartbeat) * RoutineKit plugin version (on heartbeat) * Workflow structure (title,
steps) when you push a workflow to a site group * Execution completion status when
a runner finishes a SaaS-assigned workflow

**Data received:**
 * Workflow assignments pushed from your central dashboard * 
Template library available for your plan * License plan status

**When this happens:** Only after you explicitly enter an API key in RoutineKit 
> Settings > Cloud Connection. The connection can be removed at any time from the
same screen, after which no further data is sent.

This service is operated by the plugin author. It is optional — the plugin is fully
functional without it.

 * Service endpoint: https://app.routinekit.dev
 * Privacy policy: https://routinekit.dev/privacy
 * Terms of service: https://routinekit.dev/terms

### Privacy Policy

RoutineKit captures wp_options changes made during your admin sessions to help you
build workflow steps (Auto-Capture feature). This data is stored locally in your
own database and is never sent externally on the free plan.

The Auto-Capture buffer stores: the option name, old value, new value, the URL of
the admin page where the change occurred, and the WordPress user ID of the person
who made the change. This data is retained for a configurable period (default: 30
days, adjustable in Settings) and deleted automatically. It is fully removed when
the plugin is uninstalled.

Execution audit trails store: which user ran a workflow, which steps were completed
or skipped, timestamps, and any notes or evidence files uploaded. This data is stored
locally in your database.

If you connect to RoutineKit Cloud (Pro), please review the RoutineKit Cloud privacy
policy at https://routinekit.dev/privacy.

### Source Code

The complete source code for this plugin, including all JSX/JavaScript source files,
is publicly available at:

https://github.com/99points/routinekit-public

### Build Instructions

The JavaScript assets in this plugin are compiled from source files in the `src/`
directory using [@wordpress/scripts](https://developer.wordpress.org/block-editor/reference-guides/packages/packages-scripts/)(
webpack).

To rebuild from source:

 1. Install Node.js (v18+) and npm
 2. Run `npm install` in the plugin root
 3. Run `npm run build` to compile production assets into `assets/js/`

### Third-Party Libraries

This plugin includes the following third-party library:

 * **html2canvas** (v1.4.1, MIT License) — https://html2canvas.hertzen.com
    Used
   to capture screenshots of the admin screen for step evidence. Bundled in `assets/
   js/html2canvas.min.js` (vanilla capture watcher) and in the webpack chunk `assets/
   js/548.js` (React runner notes).

## Installation

 1. Upload the `routinekit` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`
 2. Activate the plugin from the Plugins screen in WordPress
 3. Go to **RoutineKit > Workflows** to create your first workflow
 4. Use the **Run** button to open the guided Runner sidebar

## FAQ

### Does RoutineKit replace MainWP or ManageWP?

No. RoutineKit is complementary to multi-site management tools. It focuses on _what_
needs to be configured on each site and provides a guided runner to do it, rather
than managing plugin updates or security scans.

### Can I share workflows between sites?

Yes — use the JSON Export button on any workflow, then import the JSON file on another
site. Users with a connected RoutineKit account can also import directly from a 
URL. Pro users can additionally manage and assign workflows across all sites from
the central dashboard.

### How does Auto-Capture work?

When you navigate to a WordPress settings page and save changes, RoutineKit detects
which wp_options values changed and shows a notification offering to add them as
a workflow step. The step includes a snapshot of the exact settings you changed.

### Is my data sent anywhere?

On the free plan, all data stays on your own site. Pro users optionally connect 
to the RoutineKit Cloud dashboard for cross-site management — connection requires
an explicit API key entry and can be revoked at any time.

### What happens if I deactivate the plugin?

Deactivating preserves all your workflows and data.

Deleting the plugin also preserves your data by default, so you can reinstall without
losing anything. If you want a clean removal, enable **Settings > Danger Zone > 
Delete All Data on Uninstall** before deleting — RoutineKit will then drop its tables
and options when the plugin is deleted.

### Can multiple team members run the same workflow?

Yes — each run is tracked separately as an execution with its own audit trail. Multiple
people can run the same workflow on different sites simultaneously.

## Changelog

#### 1.0.1

 * New: Paste a Checklist — paste a list from a Google Doc, Notion page or plain
   notes and it becomes a workflow. The first line is the title, every line after
   it becomes a step; bullets, numbering and [ ] checkboxes are stripped automatically.
   Available from Import Workflow, from the empty state, and once on first run.
 * Changed: plan buttons on the Upgrade screen now open the pricing page at routinekit.
   dev while self-serve signup is being finished
 * Fixed: a workflow whose steps are all optional no longer marks itself complete
   as soon as the first step is done
 * Fixed: completing optional steps after the last required one no longer resends
   the completion email or re-pushes the run to RoutineKit Cloud
 * Fixed: dismissing the “run is paused” notice in the Runner now sticks instead
   of reappearing on the next admin page

#### 1.0.0
