Gene-FeludaWP — AI-Powered WordPress Publishing & News Automation

What is Gene-FeludaWP?

Gene-FeludaWP turns your AI agent into a professional content publisher with a memory. It connects directly to your WordPress website and gives the AI everything it needs to research, plan, write, and publish articles — without you touching a single WordPress screen.

What makes it different from other AI publishing tools is the content planning system. You don't just tell the AI "write something." You create a structured plan — a full website build, a monthly content calendar, a daily news desk — and the AI works through it methodically. If a session ends, the next session picks up exactly where the last one left off. Different AI models, different days, same plan.

Think of it as an editorial team with a shared task list that never gets lost.

What Can It Actually Do?

Content Planning & Strategy

• Create structured content plans from 7 pre-built templates
• Templates for: small sites, blog launches, full websites, news desks, content calendars, SEO topic clusters, and content audits
• Every plan item has a status pipeline: planned → researching → drafting → review → published
• The AI always checks the plan first — no ad-hoc content unless you ask for it
• Plans persist on disk — any AI agent in any session continues where the last one stopped
• Works across years: Q1 website build, Q2 content calendar, Q3 refresh audit, Q4 strategy planning

Content Publishing

• Create, update, list, and delete WordPress posts and pages
• Build long-form articles section by section with drag-and-drop reordering
• Auto-create categories and tags as needed
• Search your media library for featured images
• Verify that every featured image ID actually exists before publishing
• Check all internal links resolve to 200 OK before a post goes live

News & Research

• Search worldwide news by keyword, date, language, and country
• Get top headlines from any supported country
• Access latest and breaking news with rich filtering
• Fetch any public web page and convert it to clean markdown
• Search within fetched pages to find relevant article content

Quality Control

• Mandatory featured images for every post — the system blocks publishing without one
• Internal link validation — broken links are caught before publication
• Media ID verification — the Gene checks WordPress to confirm an image exists
• Excerpt length enforcement — configurable per site
• Title-in-body detection — prevents accidental duplication

How the AI Works

Every session starts the same way: the AI checks for an active content plan. If one exists, it asks "what's next?" and gets the highest-priority item. If no plan exists, it suggests creating one. This simple rule — check the plan first, always — ensures consistent behavior across sessions, days, and AI models.

The Gene includes two specialized AI prompts:

Long-Form SEO Content Architect follows a 5-stage process:

1. Plan Check — Checks for active content plan, gets next item if one exists
2. Topical Mapping — Builds a complete outline before writing a single word
3. SEO Guardrails — Applies readability-first principles, not keyword tricks
4. Writing — Produces 1,800-2,500 word articles with proper HTML structure
5. Finishing & Audit — Generates SEO metadata, self-audits, finds images, publishes, records in plan

Short-Form Content Architect follows the same plan-first workflow optimized for 400-800 word posts.

How Content Plans Work Across Time

Here's what a year with Gene-FeludaWP looks like:

• January: AI creates a full-website plan — 21 items (6 pages, 15 posts). Works through them Jan-Feb.
• March: AI switches to a content-calendar plan — 3 posts per week, 12 per month. Runs continuously.
• July: AI creates a refresh plan — audits the 100+ posts now on the site. Finds 15 needing updates.
• October: AI builds a topic-cluster — pillar page plus 6 supporting posts around one key topic.
• January next year: AI reviews the entire year, proposes a new strategy plan.

The plan files are your content archive. Every published item records its post ID, URL, and publish date. You can look back at any plan from any quarter and see exactly what was published.

Who Is This For?

• Content teams who want AI to follow a structured editorial calendar while maintaining quality standards
• News publishers who need daily coverage with the news-desk template and news API integration
• SEO agencies managing multiple WordPress sites with consistent, plan-driven content strategies
• Solo bloggers who want to publish consistently without losing track of what's been done
• Anyone with a WordPress site who wants AI to handle publishing with a real, persistent plan

How to Get Started

1. Load the Gene into your Feluda environment
2. Configure your secrets in the Feluda Vault:
   • WordPress credentials (username, application password, site URL, author ID)
   • NewsAPI.org key (free tier available)
   • NewsData.io key (free tier available)
3. Create your first plan — tell the AI what you want: "Create a full website about renting in the Netherlands" or "Set up a daily news desk for cybersecurity"
4. Let the AI work — it will plan, research, write, and publish item by item
5. Check progress anytime — ask "How's the plan going?" for a summary

The Gene works with any WordPress site that has the REST API enabled (which is standard on all modern WordPress installations).

What It Won't Do

Gene-FeludaWP is a content publishing and planning tool, not a replacement for editorial judgment. It won't fact-check claims against primary sources, conduct original interviews, or guarantee search rankings. It's designed to automate the mechanical parts of publishing — planning, research, formatting, image selection, link checking — so you can focus on strategy, voice, and editorial direction.
