Share Buttons & AI-powered Summaries vs Auto Release Posts for GitHub

Share Buttons & AI-powered Summaries turns every post into an AI-aware destination. It generates an inline AI summary readers can expand next to the share buttons, and offers one-click sharing to every major social network and the leading AI assistants. Among the first plugins to integrate the native WordPress 7.0 AI Connectors API: configure your AI provider once in Settings > Connectors (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google) and the plugin reuses those credentials — no API keys to manage, no extra accounts. Inline AI Summary Two-tier cascade: Level A uses the WordPress 7.0 AI Client; Level C is a built-in PHP extractive fallback with zero API cost on any WP 6.1+ install. Choose your AI model and mode: pick the provider and model used to generate summaries, or leave it on Automatic to use a fast, cost-effective model instead of the newest, most expensive one. Set how generation behaves too: AI with extractive fallback, AI only, extractive only, or disabled. Paragraph or bullet-list format: show the summary as prose (one paragraph per sentence) or as a concise bullet list, with configurable length (1-5 sentences or points). Collapsible inline block with native , data-nosnippet and Schema.org CreativeWork microdata so search engines treat it as derived content, not competition. Editor controls in the block sidebar and the classic meta box: view, edit manually, regenerate on demand, hide per post (independently from the buttons). Visitor-facing “Generate AI summary” button for posts without a stored summary, restrictable to extractive-only or open to the AI Client. Async generation via WP-Cron. [ayudawp_aiss_summary] shortcode also available. Sharing Social networks: X (Twitter), LinkedIn, Facebook, Telegram, WhatsApp, Email, Raindrop, Reddit, Bluesky, LINE, Mastodon, Threads, Pinterest. AI assistants: Claude, ChatGPT, Google AI, Gemini, Grok, Perplexity, DeepSeek, Mistral, Copilot, Qwen, Meta AI — each opens with a citation-ready prompt linking back to your URL. 6 visual styles, 4 sizes, custom colors, brand SVG icons, dark-mode auto-adaptation, drag-and-drop ordering. SEO-friendly ( or , auto-exclusion on noindex content for all major SEO plugins). Analytics Click tracking per platform and per post, timeline chart with per-platform breakdown, period comparison (previous period, same period last year, custom range), CSV export. Dashboard widget with 7-day sparkline. VigIA cross-reference (clicks vs. AI crawler visits) when active. Redis/Memcached compatible. Why use it? Cite your source naturally: when readers expand the summary or share to an AI assistant, your URL travels with the content. Reach every audience: full social spectrum plus 11 AI assistants in one place. Future-proof: built on WP 7.0 Connectors and a REST API ready for agentic clients. External services This plugin connects to third-party AI providers only when the inline AI Summary feature is enabled and an AI Connector is configured (or the WP AI Client is available). All other features — social and AI share buttons, click analytics, the extractive PHP fallback summary — run entirely on your own server and do not contact any external service. AI Summary generation When a post is saved (or when the editor / a visitor explicitly clicks “Regenerate” or “Generate AI summary”), the plugin uses the WordPress 7.0 AI Client (wp_ai_client_prompt()) to request a short summary from whichever provider you configured in Settings > Connectors. The plugin never stores your API keys — they are managed centrally by WordPress core. What is sent: Post title (plain text) Post content (HTML stripped, up to ~3000 characters of plain text) A short instruction asking the provider to return a summary What is not sent: API keys (managed by core Connectors), visitor IP addresses, user accounts, analytics data, or any other personal data of your readers. Possible destinations (depending on which Connector your administrator activates): OpenAI — Terms of use · Privacy policy Anthropic — Terms of service · Privacy policy Google AI — Terms of service · Privacy policy If you do not configure any Connector, or your WordPress version is below 7.0, the plugin falls back to the local PHP extractive summarizer and no external request is made. How to opt out Set AI Summary generation to Disabled in the AI Summary tab of the plugin settings. Or choose Extractive only to keep summaries fully local — zero external requests, ever. Or choose AI only while leaving no Connector configured — no requests will be sent, and summaries simply won’t be generated. The visitor-facing “Generate AI summary” button is off by default; if enabled, you can additionally restrict it to the extractive PHP path so visitor clicks never reach an external provider. Sharing buttons The social and AI sharing buttons render as / elements that open the respective destination only when the visitor clicks them — your server does not contact those services. The plugin’s analytics endpoint that records button clicks runs locally on your own site. Advanced Usage Shortcode parameters The [ayudawp_share_buttons] shortcode accepts several parameters: buttons: Comma-separated list of buttons to display – Example: [ayudawp_share_buttons buttons="claude,chatgpt,deepseek,twitter,mastodon"] – Available: twitter, linkedin, facebook, telegram, whatsapp, email, raindrop, reddit, bluesky, line, mastodon, threads, pinterest, claude, chatgpt, google_ai, gemini, grok, perplexity, deepseek, mistral, copilot, qwen, meta_ai style: Visual style to use – Example: [ayudawp_share_buttons style="outline"] – Options: minimal, brand, outline, dark, custom, icons-only size: Button size preset – Example: [ayudawp_share_buttons size="compact"] – Options: compact, normal, large, fluid show_icons: Show icons with text (for non-icons-only styles) – Example: [ayudawp_share_buttons show_icons="true" style="brand"] – Options: true, false icon_style: Icon corner style (for icons-only mode) – Example: [ayudawp_share_buttons style="icons-only" icon_style="circular"] – Options: circular, square alignment: Button alignment – Example: [ayudawp_share_buttons alignment="center"] – Options: left, center show_title: Show or hide the section title – Example: [ayudawp_share_buttons show_title="false"] – Options: true, false title_text: Custom title text – Example: [ayudawp_share_buttons title_text="Share this content"] title_style: Title HTML element – Example: [ayudawp_share_buttons title_style="h3"] – Options: h3, h4, h5, h6, span ai_title: Section title for AI buttons group – Example: [ayudawp_share_buttons ai_title="Summarize with AI"] social_title: Section title for social buttons group – Example: [ayudawp_share_buttons social_title="Share on social media"] Combined examples: [ayudawp_share_buttons buttons="claude,deepseek,twitter" style="brand" show_icons="true"] [ayudawp_share_buttons style="icons-only" icon_style="circular"] [ayudawp_share_buttons show_title="true" title_text="Share or Summarize" title_style="h3"] [ayudawp_share_buttons ai_title="Summarize with AI" social_title="Share" style="outline" show_icons="true"] [ayudawp_share_buttons buttons="chatgpt,qwen,meta_ai,mastodon,threads" size="compact" style="brand"] [ayudawp_share_buttons style="icons-only" icon_style="square" size="large"] [ayudawp_share_buttons size="fluid" style="outline" show_icons="true"] AI summary shortcode The [ayudawp_aiss_summary] shortcode renders the AI-generated summary as a standalone collapsible block. Useful when you want to place the summary somewhere other than where the share buttons are auto-inserted, or when you have buttons disabled but still want to surface the summary. post_id: Render the summary of a specific post – Example: [ayudawp_aiss_summary post_id="123"] – Defaults to the current post in the loop when omitted The shortcode outputs nothing when the post has no stored summary, so it is safe to drop into templates without conditional wrappers. CSS Customization Guide The plugin uses CSS custom properties for all brand colors. You can override these in your theme to change any platform color globally: Override platform colors: .ayudawp-share-buttons { –ayudawp-claude: #ff0000; –ayudawp-chatgpt: #00ff00; } Main container classes: – .ayudawp-share-buttons – Main wrapper container – .ayudawp-buttons-container – Direct container for all buttons – .ayudawp-title – Title element before buttons – .ayudawp-section-title – Section title with extra top margin – .ayudawp-aiss-centered – Applied when centered alignment is enabled Button classes: – .ayudawp-share-btn – Base class for all buttons (both and elements) – .ayudawp-icon-wrapper – Container for button icons – .ayudawp-button-text – Text label inside buttons – .ayudawp-icon – SVG icon element Style modifier classes: – .brand – Brand colors style – .outline – Outline style (brand-colored borders) – .minimal – Minimal style – .dark – Dark background style – .custom – Custom colors style – .icons-only – Icons-only mode – .with-icons – Text buttons with icons – .circular – Circular icon buttons – .square – Square icon buttons Size modifier classes: – .size-compact – Compact button size – .size-large – Large button size – .size-fluid – Fluid width buttons Platform-specific classes (on buttons): – .twitter, .linkedin, .facebook, .telegram, .whatsapp – .email, .raindrop, .reddit, .bluesky, .line – .mastodon, .threads, .pinterest – .claude, .chatgpt, .google-ai, .gemini, .grok – .perplexity, .deepseek, .mistral, .copilot – .qwen, .meta-ai – .ai – Applied to all AI platform buttons Example: Change Claude button color: .ayudawp-share-buttons { –ayudawp-claude: #your-color; } Example: Change all AI buttons background: .ayudawp-share-buttons .ayudawp-share-btn.ai { background: #f0f0f0; } Example: Hide specific button: .ayudawp-share-btn.facebook { display: none; } Customize or remove separator lines: The main container has top and bottom border lines. You can hide either of them from the settings (Share Buttons → Separator lines) with no code. CSS is only needed to replace them with your own style: .ayudawp-share-buttons { border-top: 2px dashed #ccc; border-bottom: 2px dashed #ccc; } Important notes: – The use of !important is no longer needed for most overrides – Use CSS custom properties to change brand colors cleanly – Test on both desktop and mobile viewports – Icons-only buttons have fixed dimensions (44px default, 36px compact, 54px large) Technical Details System requirements WordPress 6.1 or higher (7.0+ for AI-generated summaries) PHP 7.4 or higher (compatible up to PHP 8.4) Theme compatible with wp_head() and wp_footer() Performance features Modular file structure for maximum efficiency Selective loading of resources (CSS/JS only where buttons display) No external dependencies Optimized CSS with custom properties and minimal specificity Lightweight SVG icons (under 1KB each) Minimal database impact: analytics queries are cached (5 min) and compatible with persistent object cache (Redis, Memcached) Smart responsive layouts REST API for lightweight analytics data retrieval Developer features Clean, documented code WordPress coding standards compliant Hook-based architecture Modular class structure in /includes folder Extensible icon system using Simple Icons Translation ready Comprehensive shortcode API SEO-friendly markup options Post meta for individual exclusions Centralized platform color definitions Support Need private support or custom development?

Auto Release Posts for GitHub monitors GitHub repositories for new releases and uses AI to research each release and generate a human-readable blog post about it. Posts can be automatically published or held as drafts for review, with email notifications when new posts are ready. Built on the AI Client API and Connectors introduced in WordPress 7.0 — configure your AI provider (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, or any other connector) once under Settings → Connectors, and this plugin uses whatever you’ve set up. No AI API keys to manage in the plugin itself. How it works: Monitor — Add any GitHub repository and the plugin checks for new releases daily via WP-Cron. Generate — When a new release is detected, the AI researches the release and writes a blog post tailored to your audience. Publish — Posts are created as drafts for review, or published automatically based on your per-repository settings. You can also generate a post on demand at any time from the Repositories tab. Features: Monitor multiple GitHub repositories for new releases AI-powered post generation via WordPress Connectors — works with Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, and any other configured connector Significance-aware content — patch, minor, major, and security releases get tailored tone and structure Choose the research depth — Standard reviews release notes, linked issues and PRs, metadata, and the README; Deep adds commit messages and file changes since the last release SEO-friendly post slugs and excerpts generated automatically by AI Configurable publish/draft workflow with per-repository overrides Per-repository post defaults (categories, tags, post status) Choose your post title format — prefix with project name and version, version only, or no auto-prefix (let the AI write the full title in single-project sites) Generate posts on demand for any historical release — pick from a version dropdown when a repo has multiple releases; older releases are automatically backdated to keep the archive in chronological order Custom prompt instructions to guide AI writing style, tone, and voice Regenerate posts with feedback — refine AI output directly from the block editor sidebar Email notifications on draft creation, publication, or both Source attribution in the block editor — see which GitHub release generated each post Idempotency — the same release never creates duplicate posts Optional project link support — enter a URL or WordPress.org slug for download CTAs Optional pre-release tracking per repository — track stable releases by default, or opt in to include betas, release candidates, and other pre-release versions Monorepo support — per-repository tag patterns limit posts to selected packages (e.g. @headstartwp/core@*, @headstartwp/next@*) when one repository releases many packages For developers: Extensible via filter hooks at every stage of the pipeline Customize preferred AI models via the ghrp_wp_ai_client_model_preferences filter Override significance classification, prompt content, post terms, and post status per-release All prompt templates defined in code, versioned with the plugin Requirements: WordPress 7.0 or later PHP 8.2 or later At least one AI connector configured under Settings → Connectors (Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google recommended) Auto Release Posts for GitHub is an independent project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by GitHub, Inc. or the WordPress Foundation. “GitHub” and “WordPress” are used here for descriptive purposes only. External Services This plugin connects to external services to fetch release data and (via WordPress Connectors) generate post content. Each service is described below. GitHub REST API What it is: GitHub’s REST API (https://api.github.com) is used to read release data and repository metadata, and — when a Personal Access Token is configured — to list repositories the token can access. What is sent: HTTP requests to api.github.com containing the repository owner and name. If a GitHub Personal Access Token is configured (in the Settings tab, or via the GHRP_PAT constant or environment variable), the token is sent in the Authorization header. When it is sent: Daily via WP-Cron (configurable via the ghrp_check_frequency filter), and on demand when generating, regenerating, or refreshing posts from the plugin’s admin screens. Terms of Service: https://docs.github.com/en/site-policy/github-terms/github-terms-of-service Privacy Policy: https://docs.github.com/en/site-policy/privacy-policies/github-privacy-statement Image sideloading from GitHub-hosted domains What it is: When AI-generated post content references images hosted on github.com, githubusercontent.com, or github.io, the plugin downloads those images to the WordPress Media Library so posts render without external image dependencies. What is sent: HTTP GET requests to the specific image URLs referenced by the AI output. No data beyond a standard HTTP request. When it is sent: At post creation or regeneration time, for image URLs included in the AI-generated content. The allowed domains and limits are configurable via the ghrp_sideload_allowed_domains, ghrp_max_sideload_images, ghrp_sideload_time_budget, and related filters. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy: same as GitHub above. AI providers (via WordPress Connectors) What it is: AI-generated post content is produced by whichever AI connector you have configured under Settings → Connectors in WordPress 7.0+. The plugin does not call AI provider APIs directly — it dispatches prompts through the WordPress AI Client API. What is sent: The release title, release notes body, repository metadata (owner/name, language, description), and any custom prompt instructions you have configured are sent to the AI provider selected by your connector. Optional Deep research mode additionally sends recent commit messages and file change summaries between releases. When it is sent: When a new release is detected by the daily scheduled check, when you click “Generate post” or “Regenerate,” and when regenerating from the block editor sidebar. Privacy and terms for the AI provider depend on which connector is configured. Common providers: Anthropic — Terms — Privacy OpenAI — Terms — Privacy Google AI — Terms — Privacy Source Code The complete, human-readable source code for this plugin is published at: https://github.com/jakemgold/github-release-posts-wordpress Bundled JavaScript. The minified files under dist/js/ are built from the source files under assets/js/ using the @10up/scripts toolkit (which wraps Webpack). To rebuild: npm install && npm run build Source-to-build mapping: dist/js/admin.js is built from assets/js/admin/index.js dist/js/editor.js is built from assets/js/editor/index.js dist/css/admin-style.css is built from assets/css/admin/style.css Both source and build outputs ship with the plugin, so the source is available locally as well as in the public repository. Third-party libraries. The plugin has no third-party PHP dependencies. The vendor/ directory only contains Composer’s own PSR-4 autoloader scaffolding generated from the plugin’s own classes — it does not include any external libraries. The composer.json require block requires only php: >=8.2. PAT encryption uses libsodium, which has been part of PHP core since 7.2. Bundled npm packages used at build time (development only — not shipped at runtime): @10up/scripts (which itself bundles Webpack, ESLint, Babel, and the build-time-only wp-prettier and eslint-plugin-jsdoc overrides). All declared in package.json and package-lock.json. None of these end up in the distributed plugin.
