A site can now hold one design direction, and every builder obeys it
addA site can now hold one design direction, and every builder obeys it. Nine new tools. wordpress_save_design_direction, wordpress_get_design_direction, wordpress_list_design_directions, wordpress_activate_design_direction
addwordpress_import_design_tokens reads DTCG 2025.10, Tokens Studio exports, Tailwind configs, or a plain :root CSS block into the direction. Dry-run by default, so what would change is visible before anything is written
addwordpress_apply_design_direction pushes the direction's tokens into each builder's own stores: Bricks global colors, the Elementor kit, Oxygen variables, nine builders in all. Approval-gated, with a per-builder report of

The plugin now tells the same story as your dashboard
The setup and connection screens were rebuilt around one source of truth. You link a site once, then watch the moment your first agent reaches it: the screen updates on its own and names what just happened, for example "connected. Claude just ran update_page on page #42". The plugin, the dashboard and your agent now read the same connection state, so they always agree on whether a site is connected and what access it has. One-click installs (the Desktop app, Cursor, Cowork) lead the way in, with browser sign-in still there for ChatGPT and claude.ai. Sites also arrive in the dashboard with their real WordPress title instead of a bare URL, which matters the moment you run more than one. And seven builder fixes land across Bricks, Divi, Elementor 4.x and Gutenberg.

fixBricks: a link set to open in the same tab now does. Bricks decides whether to open a new tab based on whether the setting is present at all, so switching the toggle off still opened a new tab. The setting is now removed
fixDivi: editing a single module now refreshes the cached CSS. A single-module or update-page edit on Divi did not clear Divi's static CSS cache, so a change could look like it had not applied until the next full save. The

What the agent writes is what actually lands on the page
A deep pass through every supported builder, closing the gaps where a write reported success but the page stayed stale or blank. Styling now lands on Oxygen, Beaver Builder, Elementor v4 Atomic, Bricks, Divi 4 and Divi 5. Brizy and Visual Composer move from read to write, with their caveats stated. Recovery gets deeper: custom CSS and page settings are captured, and globals are versioned, so deleting a Bricks global class, a Divi preset, or an Elementor kit color leaves a recovery point. And when something cannot be persisted in a way the builder reads, Respira says exactly what did not land instead of reporting success. Every fix verified on a real site by loading the actual rendered page.
addBrizy moved from read to write. Respira can now write Brizy pages that Brizy's own editor opens and the front end renders. Writes are labeled with their caveats in the docs (front-end compile depends on Brizy's compiler
addVisual Composer moved from read to write. Respira now writes in VC's canonical storage format, so the editor loads the page and the front end renders. Labeled with its caveats (VC recompiles on the next editor save)
addGlobals are now versioned. Deleting a Bricks global class, a Divi preset, or an Elementor kit color now leaves a recovery point. "The agent deleted my global class" used to be unrecoverable; now you can roll it back. Res

Redesigned admin, public add-on SDK, generate_activity_report
A React-first plugin admin built around live telemetry: a bridge view of agent ↔ Respira ↔ site, real cards driven by eleven new REST endpoints, and a personalised greeting. A public add-on SDK ships so third-party plugin authors can register their own MCP abilities. And a new MCP tool, generate_activity_report, turns this site's audit log into a structured report your own agent shapes into prose — six framings cover the use cases customers actually have, time-saved math is calibrated to conservative per-tool baselines, and Respira never writes a single line of prose itself.
