AI-native block system for WordPress. Build with AI — keep it clean.

== Description ==

EditNative is the AI-native block system for WordPress. 34 patterns, design tokens via theme.json, 6 style variations — all native blocks. Zero plugin dependencies, zero lock-in. Everything AI generates stays editable in the Site Editor.

Features:

* 34 block patterns (hero, features, testimonials, pricing, FAQ, CTA, contact, stats, team, gallery, services, newsletter, latest posts, AI setup prompt, comparison table, how-it-works, before-after, WP 7.0 readiness, 8 full-page layouts)
* 12 page templates (index, front-page, home, page, single, 404, archive, search, blank, sidebar, FAQ, full-width)
* 6 style variations (default, dark, warm, ocean, forest, minimal)
* Complete design token system (14 colors, 7 font sizes, 9 spacing levels, 3 shadows)
* Inter font bundled locally (no external requests)
* WCAG accessibility features (skip-to-content, focus rings, reduced motion)

== Installation ==

1. Download the editnative-starter ZIP file.
2. Go to Appearance > Themes > Add New > Upload Theme.
3. Upload the ZIP file and click "Install Now".
4. Activate the theme.

== Quick Start ==

1. Go to Appearance > Editor to open the Site Editor.
2. Use Styles to customize colors, fonts, and spacing visually.
3. Insert patterns from the block inserter (look for EditNative categories).
4. Switch style variations via Styles > Browse Styles.

== Using with AI Tools ==

EditNative Starter is designed to work with AI code generation tools like Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor. The structured patterns and design tokens ensure AI-generated content stays clean and editable.

The theme ships with an AI Building Guide (AI-GUIDE.md) that includes:
* Ready-to-use prompts for Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor
* Page recipes for landing pages, about pages, services pages, and contact pages
* Block markup patterns you can reference
* Anti-drift rules to prevent common AI mistakes
* Complete pattern reference table

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Do I need a companion plugin? =

No. The theme works fully on its own. An optional companion plugin (EditNative Code) adds custom CSS/JS/PHP editors, Brand Config import/export, lightweight SEO, and security hardening.

= Does this work with WooCommerce? =

The theme uses standard WordPress block architecture and does not conflict with WooCommerce. For WooCommerce-specific layouts, you may want to add custom templates.

= Can I use this with page builders? =

EditNative Starter is built for the native WordPress Site Editor. It works without any page builder plugins. Using it with Elementor, Divi, or similar builders is not recommended as it defeats the purpose of native block editing.

= Is EditNative ready for WordPress 7.0? =

Yes. EditNative uses native blocks, theme.json design tokens, and standard template hierarchy — all of which WordPress 7.0's AI features are designed to work with. When WordPress 7.0 ships its AI Client and provider connectors, EditNative sites will benefit automatically because the markup is already clean and standards-compliant.
