Prompt
"Build a landing page with a dark hero, three feature cards and a call to action."
Respira
Page created as a YOOtheme layout: a hero section with a headline, text and a primary button, a row of three columns with a headline and text in each, and a closing section. It opens in the YOOtheme customizer.

Capabilities
What Respira does on a YOOtheme site.
Native layouts
Pages are written as YOOtheme builder layouts: sections, rows, columns and YOOtheme's own elements. They open in the YOOtheme customizer exactly like a page you built there, never as one block of HTML.
YOOtheme's own save
Every write goes through YOOtheme's builder, the same way its customizer saves: the layout is migrated and normalised by YOOtheme, and the search text WordPress reads is rendered by YOOtheme too.
The live element registry
Your AI reads every element's fields and allowed values from the running theme, custom elements from child themes and extensions included. A setting an element does not have is named, not silently stored.
Site templates
Read and change the templates YOOtheme renders on single posts, the blog, archives, search and the 404 page. A new template starts disabled, so you review it in the customizer before it goes live.
HTML to YOOtheme
Respira Exhale converts a finished HTML page into YOOtheme elements: grids become rows of columns, lists keep their items, buttons their links. Only forms and tables stay HTML.
Element-level editing
Find an element by its text or position, change one setting, move or remove it. A snapshot is saved before every write, and one call restores it.
What it knows
The details that decide whether a YOOtheme page renders.
Column widths live on the column
A row's layout only labels the choice in the editor; each column carries its own width. Columns sent without one would stack, so Respira sets them side by side.
Items, not settings
A YOOtheme button, list, grid or accordion shows only its items. Respira writes a button with its button item and a list with its list items, so nothing saves empty.
Colour through the style
Elements pick named styles from the YOOtheme style instead of hex values, and a section with its own background colour gets the setting YOOtheme needs to draw it.
Pages and templates
A page with its own layout ignores templates; a page without one renders the template for its view. Respira tells your AI which is which before it edits.
How it works
Detect the theme. Read its elements. Write what YOOtheme renders.
1. Detect
Respira sees YOOtheme as the active theme
Detection reads the active theme and its parent, so a child theme counts. Pages with a YOOtheme layout are edited as YOOtheme; block pages on the same site stay block pages.
2. Understand
The agent gets the theme's own vocabulary
Element schemas come from the running YOOtheme, with a catalog of the 75 elements of YOOtheme Pro 5.0.50 as the fallback. Builder info adds the active style and every site template with its assignment.
3. Write
Structure that YOOtheme can render
Missing sections, rows and columns are added, columns get their widths, buttons and lists get their items, and the write is saved by YOOtheme's own builder with a snapshot first.
Example prompts
What you can ask, right now.
These work with any MCP client. Respira turns them into YOOtheme sections, rows, columns and elements, so you never describe the layout format yourself.
