ReDock + Gutenberg
Real blocks. Real receipts.
ReDock ships a small plugin that gives the agent a live channel into the block editor: it reads the page as blocks, writes patterns-first, and WordPress revisions keep the undo.
Free · works with Gutenberg as Gutenberg · official marks, interoperability only What ReDock does with it
Block-perfect edits, with a receipt.
Patterns first The agent composes from your theme's block patterns and core blocks: output that opens cleanly in the editor, not a wall of HTML.
Block-aware reads It sees headings, groups, columns and media as the structure they are, so "move the pricing table above the FAQ" is one change, not a regex.
Revisions are the undo Every write is a WordPress revision. Reopen the receipt, click Undo, the previous revision is back.
