Sera Core: Complete Feature Guide

Sera Core is the central hub of the Sera ecosystem. It provides the AI engine, workspace, knowledge base, and unified management dashboard that all spoke plugins connect to.

AI Workspace

The AI Workspace is a persistent chat interface accessible from Sera > Workspace. It connects to your configured AI provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google Gemini) and can:

• Answer questions about your WordPress site
• Generate code snippets and content
• Analyze performance data from Pulse
• Review security alerts from Sentinel
• Suggest SEO improvements based on AI Sitemap data

Configuring AI Providers

Go to Sera > Settings > AI Engine to configure your AI provider:

1. Select your provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, or Gemini)
2. Enter your API key
3. Choose your preferred model
4. Set token limits and temperature

You can configure multiple providers and switch between them. The AI Workspace will use whichever provider is set as the default.

Knowledge Base

The Knowledge Base (Sera > Knowledge Base) lets you store:

• Code Snippets — Reusable code with syntax highlighting and categories
• Q&A Pairs — Common questions and answers that the AI can reference
• Documents — Reference materials, style guides, and documentation

The AI Workspace draws from the Knowledge Base when answering questions, giving it context specific to your site and workflow.

Hub Registry

The Hub Registry (Sera > Dashboard) shows all installed spoke plugins with:

• Plugin name, version, and status (active/inactive)
• Health indicators (green/yellow/red)
• Quick links to each spoke's settings
• Last activity timestamp

Command System

The Command System lets you execute actions across spoke plugins:

• Manual commands — Run a Sentinel scan, trigger a Pulse health check, or rebuild the AI Sitemap
• Scheduled commands — Set up recurring tasks (e.g., daily malware scan at 2 AM)
• Chained commands — Execute a sequence of actions (e.g., scan for malware, then run a health check, then rebuild the sitemap)

Alert Center

The Alert Center aggregates notifications from all spoke plugins:

• Security alerts from Sentinel (blocked attacks, malware detected)
• Health warnings from Pulse (database issues, high error rate)
• Indexing reports from AI Sitemap (pages indexed, crawl errors)
• CLS alerts from CLS Guard Pro (layout shift detected)

Alerts are categorized by severity (critical, warning, info) and can be dismissed or marked as resolved.

Activity Log

The Activity Log records all actions taken across the ecosystem with timestamps, user attribution, and details. Useful for auditing and debugging.

Onboarding Wizard

First-time users are guided through a step-by-step wizard that covers:

1. AI provider setup
2. License activation
3. Spoke plugin detection
4. Basic configuration recommendations
