## Beschrijving

BatchPilot is a single plugin that replaces the usual stack of bulk-delete, bulk-
edit, and duplicate-post plugins. Every action is previewed before it runs, can 
be undone, and is recorded in a history log you can re-run.

Three operations on posts, pages, and any registered public post type:

 * Delete. Trash by default, with a separate permanent option.
 * Duplicate. Copies meta, taxonomies, featured image, and optionally child posts.
 * Bulk edit. Change status, author, publish dates, taxonomies, password, comment
   status, or menu order.

Twelve filters narrow the matching set: post type, status, author, date ranges (
modified, published), taxonomy terms, has comments, has featured image, parent, 
children.

Four ways to drive it:

 * Admin UI. Stepper-driven Operations Builder with live preview.
 * WP-CLI. `wp batchpilot delete`, `duplicate`, `edit`, `history`, `undo`, `doctor`.
 * REST API. `/wp-json/batchpilot/v1/*` endpoints with capability-gated permissions.
 * WordPress Abilities API. Each Target × Operation pair is exposed as a registered
   ability so AI agents and other clients can drive operations.

Safety features:

 * Every operation is previewed (count plus sample rows) before it runs.
 * Preview tokens (HMAC-signed, 5-minute TTL) prevent stale state from being executed.
 * Snapshots are written before mutation so Undo restores the previous state.
 * Operations over a configurable threshold (default 100 items) run in the background
   via Action Scheduler.
 * Per-operation capabilities: `batchpilot_delete`, `batchpilot_edit`, `batchpilot_duplicate`,`
   batchpilot_move`, `batchpilot_schedule`. Grant per-role or per-user.

Use cases:

 * Trash old drafts, auto-drafts, or revisions on a schedule.
 * Re-attribute posts from a departing author.
 * Shift publish dates on a backlog.
 * Add or remove taxonomy terms across a content set.
 * Duplicate templates or landing pages.

### Development

Source code, including the un-minified JavaScript sources for the admin app, lives
at https://github.com/jgalea/batchpilot

The compiled assets in `assets/build/` are generated with [@wordpress/scripts](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@wordpress/scripts)
from the sources in `assets/src/`. To rebuild:

    ```
    npm install && npm run build
    ```

PHP dependencies are managed with Composer (`composer install`).

    screen.
 2. Activate the plugin.
 3. Open BatchPilot  Operations from the admin sidebar.

## FAQ

### Is everything undoable?

Yes, except a permanent delete (which you have to enable explicitly). Trash, bulk
edits, and duplicates all write before-state snapshots and can be reversed from 
the History screen.

### How long is the history kept?

Configurable in Settings. Default is 90 days. Snapshots older than the retention
window are pruned on a daily cron.

### Will it work on a large site?

Operations exceeding the async threshold (default 100 items) run in the background
via Action Scheduler, batched at 50 items per chunk. The plugin defers to WooCommerce’s
bundled Action Scheduler when present.

### Can AI agents use it?

Yes. With the WordPress Abilities API installed, each Target × Operation pair is
registered as an ability under the `batchpilot` category. Agents can query the catalog,
preview, execute, and undo via the standard abilities surface.

### Does it work with WooCommerce?

WooCommerce HPOS is detected (see the Doctor screen). Direct Woo product/order operations
are on the roadmap; current release covers posts, pages, and any registered public
post type.

### How do I uninstall cleanly?

By default, uninstall leaves your operation history in place. To drop everything
on uninstall, enable Settings  Delete data on uninstall before removing the plugin.
