A WordPress plugin for creating, editing and organising block patterns in the
admin. Theme patterns (PHP files in patterns/) and user patterns (wp_block
posts) are managed in one interface, edited in the WordPress editor, and
optionally shared through patternbuilderwp.com.
Patterns a plugin registers are browsable beside them; copying one into the
theme, with the patterns it places, makes it yours to edit.
Agents can drive the same operations through WordPress core's Abilities API.
