Gemini review (PR #14) flagged that 'X.Y.Z' in the Version Management section is problematic for AI agents — they may interpret it literally or fail to match it during automated edits. Replace with the actual current version '2.4.0' plus a parenthetical instruction '(replace 2.4.0 with the new version)' so the context is unambiguous: agents can grep for the exact string and know what to substitute. Resolves #19

AGENTS.md — AI Agent Guide for wp-fix-plugin-does-not-exist-notices
This file provides precise, verified guidance for AI agents working in this repository. Read it before editing any file to avoid read:file_not_found and edit:not_read_first errors.
Repository Purpose
Fix 'Plugin file does not exist' Notices — a WordPress plugin that detects active plugins whose files are missing, adds them to the Plugins list with a "Remove Notice" action link, and safely removes their database references.
- GitHub:
wpallstars/wp-fix-plugin-does-not-exist-notices - Namespace:
WPALLSTARS\FixPluginDoesNotExistNotices - Text domain:
wp-fix-plugin-does-not-exist-notices - Current version: see
wp-fix-plugin-does-not-exist-notices.phpheader
Exact File Map (authoritative — verified against git ls-files)
CRITICAL: PHP class files in includes/ use PascalCase. The docs and require_once paths must match exactly. On Linux (case-sensitive), wrong case = fatal error.
wp-fix-plugin-does-not-exist-notices.php # Plugin entry point — sets Version, requires includes/Plugin.php
includes/Plugin.php # Main Plugin class — loads dependencies, inits components
includes/Core.php # Core class — all WordPress hooks and plugin logic
includes/Updater.php # Updater class — handles Git Updater / WP.org update sources
admin/lib/admin.php # Admin\Admin class — admin page rendering, enqueues
admin/lib/modal.php # Admin\Modal class — update source selector modal
admin/css/admin-styles.css # General admin styles
admin/css/update-source-selector.css # Styles for the update source modal
admin/js/admin-scripts.js # General admin JS
admin/js/update-source-selector.js # JS for the update source modal

Directories that DO NOT exist (do not attempt to read or create files here):

Before Editing Any File
- Read the file first:
Read includes/Core.php— notincludes/core.php(wrong case fails). - Re-read the file if another tool call may have modified it since your last read.
- Verify the file path with
git ls-files '<pattern>'when uncertain.
Version Management
Version appears in four places — all must be updated together:
wp-fix-plugin-does-not-exist-notices.php—Version:header andnew Plugin(__FILE__, '2.4.0')(replace2.4.0with the new version)includes/Plugin.php— no direct version constant; version passed via constructorreadme.txt—Stable tag:and changelog sectionCHANGELOG.md— top entry
README.md changelog section must also stay in sync with CHANGELOG.md.
Common Tasks
Fix a bug in core plugin logic
Edit includes/Core.php. All WordPress hooks are registered in the constructor.
Change admin UI or settings
Edit admin/lib/admin.php (Admin class) and/or admin/lib/modal.php (Modal class).
CSS: admin/css/admin-styles.css or admin/css/update-source-selector.css.
JS: admin/js/admin-scripts.js or admin/js/update-source-selector.js.
Bump version for a release
- Update version in
wp-fix-plugin-does-not-exist-notices.php(both header and constructor call). - Update
Stable tag:inreadme.txt. - Add changelog entry to
readme.txt,CHANGELOG.md, andREADME.md.
Add or fix update source logic
Edit includes/Updater.php.
Git Workflow
- Branch naming:
feature/,fix/,patch/,refactor/prefixes - One branch per issue; one PR per issue
- Push to both
githubandgitearemotes - Do not include version numbers in branch names during development
