Meta Box ships an agent skill so ChatGPT, Claude and Cursor write correct Meta Box code.

◆Current state
Meta Box now offers a free agent skill and a Coding with AI guide so assistants such as ChatGPT, Claude and Cursor produce correct Meta Box code instead of guessing at its API. It follows a week in which customers gained downloads of older and beta builds from their account, and AIO 3.14's view previews, slug-free URLs and login limits.
◆Where it's heading
Meta Box is building two tracks at once: deeper data modeling for WordPress (custom models, relationships, block bindings) and making that model usable by AI tools, starting with July's agent-driven field building and now coding assistants. Release management is also maturing, with rollbacks available to customers.
◆Prediction
Expect the agent skill to grow to cover custom models and relationships, the areas Meta Box shipped most recently. Whether it ties into the July agent feature is not stated.
