Get Design Guide is a WordPress ability from Premium Addons for Elementor — usable via Easy MCP AI, which connects Claude, ChatGPT, and any AI assistant to your site.
Install Free Plugin →Get Design Guide
Read-onlyFetch the bundled Premium Addons design guide that AI build tools should follow before building or restyling any page.
Requires the Premium Addons for Elementor plugin on WordPress 7.0+ for the Abilities API (abilities are registered only when the wp_register_ability() function exists). Dashboard, settings and site-inventory abilities (get-id-by-title, list-pages, list-templates, get-global-settings, get-settings, update-setting, scan-usage, disable-unused-widgets, clear-dynamic-assets, subscribe-newsletter) require the caller hold the 'manage_options' capability. premium-addons/create-page requires 'edit_pages'. premium-addons/get-widget-schema, premium-addons/get-addon-schema, premium-addons/list-available-elements, premium-addons/list-pa-addons, premium-addons/detect-atomic-support, premium-addons/check-elementor-element and premium-addons/create-elementor-template require 'edit_posts'. premium-addons/get-page-structure, premium-addons/get-element-settings, premium-addons/add-flexbox, premium-addons/add-container, premium-addons/update-element-settings, premium-addons/insert-widget, premium-addons/remove-element, premium-addons/change-post-status and premium-addons/duplicate-post require 'edit_post' on the target post_id, and deny requests for a nonexistent post_id outright.
What it does
This ability returns the full text of Premium Addons' bundled design guide (in Markdown), read from a file shipped with the plugin. The guide lays out the rules an AI assistant should follow when building or restyling with the other abilities — reusing the exact colors, fonts and sizes returned by premium-addons/get-global-settings and premium-addons/get-theme-styles rather than introducing new ones mid-build, checking widget/element schemas before writing settings, using containers instead of legacy sections/columns, and judging the finished result against the rendered front end rather than just the stored settings. The plugin also delivers this same guide to MCP-aware clients as a dedicated prompt and injects a condensed reminder into the results of the build abilities (insert-widget, add-container, add-flexbox); this ability is the fallback for callers that can't reach the MCP prompt directly. It takes no input, and returns a WP_Error if the guide file can't be read.
