Conversion Agent Discovery

Conversion Agent Discovery helps WordPress sites expose public, read-only discovery surfaces for AI agents without pretending to support capabilities that are not implemented.

It is designed to improve measurable agent accessibility for public, read-only discovery checks without calling external scanners automatically.

Features include:

• Markdown negotiation for public content with Accept: text/markdown.
• Content Signals in robots.txt.
• Generated llms.txt and /.well-known/llms.txt.
• Editable AI Instructions page for official brand facts and LLM guidance, starting empty with English templates by default.
• Runtime Front-end Placement for exact, design-safe AI Instructions link placement across matching public header, footer, or page content components.
• [conversion_ai_instructions_link] shortcode for manual placement.
• Generated /.well-known/api-catalog.
• Generated /.well-known/agent-skills/index.json and virtual SKILL.md files.
• Local Agent Skills discovery schema generated by the site.
• Read-only WebMCP tool registration for compatible browsers.
• Public read-only REST endpoints for site search, recent content, single content reads, site context, and contact handoff.
• Admin settings page with a global kill switch.

Conversion Agent Discovery does not publish fake OAuth, MCP Server Card, A2A, or commerce metadata.

The AI Instructions feature was inspired by Chris Long’s public LinkedIn post and Nectiv case study showing that AI Instructions pages can be cited by ChatGPT in branded queries. It also credits the earlier Seer Interactive AI Information page by Wil Reynolds and Alisa Scharf that Chris Long identified as an important example.

Important: this plugin does not guarantee LLM citations, search rankings, AI Overview visibility, or model behavior. It provides controlled public discovery surfaces for experimentation.

External Services

This plugin does not send requests to external services automatically and does not transmit visitor or site data to third parties.

The generated Agent Skills discovery document uses a local schema URL served by the WordPress site at /.well-known/agent-skills/discovery-0.2.schema.json; it does not depend on an external schema service.

The plugin contains optional external links that administrators or users may open manually:

• https://conversion.ag/ is linked for Conversion attribution and plugin author information. The plugin does not send visitor or site data to Conversion; the link is opened only when a user clicks it manually. Conversion’s privacy policy is available at https://www.conversion.com.br/politica-de-privacidade/.
• https://github.com/agencia-conversion/conversion-agent-discovery is linked as the public development repository and release source. The plugin does not send visitor or site data to GitHub; the link is opened only when a user clicks it manually. GitHub’s terms are available at https://docs.github.com/en/site-policy/github-terms/github-terms-of-service and GitHub’s privacy statement is available at https://docs.github.com/en/site-policy/privacy-policies/github-general-privacy-statement.
• https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-graphql/ is linked from the admin screen when WPGraphQL is not detected, so administrators can optionally install it. The plugin does not send visitor or site data to WordPress.org; the link is opened only when an administrator clicks it manually. WordPress.org’s privacy policy is available at https://wordpress.org/about/privacy/ and terms are available at https://wordpress.org/about/terms-of-service/.

Privacy

Conversion Agent Discovery does not track users and does not send site data to external services automatically. Outbound links in the admin screen and readme are plain manual links.

Development

Development happens at https://github.com/agencia-conversion/conversion-agent-discovery. The distributed plugin contains readable PHP, JavaScript, CSS, and SVG source files; no build step is required to run the plugin.
