# IGNY8 Phase 3: Toolkit Plugin (03D)
## Utility Plugin — Performance, Forms, Security, SMTP, WooCommerce

**Document Version:** 1.0
**Date:** 2026-03-23
**Phase:** IGNY8 Phase 3 — WordPress Ecosystem
**Status:** Build Ready
**Source of Truth:** Codebase at `/data/app/igny8/`
**Audience:** Claude Code, WordPress Developers, Architects

---

## 1. CURRENT STATE

### No Toolkit Exists
- Users rely on multiple plugins for common utilities: WP Super Cache, Contact Form 7, Wordfence, WP Mail SMTP, etc.
- Each additional plugin adds overhead, potential conflicts, and security surface area
- No IGNY8-branded utility layer exists

### Relationship to IGNY8 Ecosystem
- **Independent** — toolkit works without the main IGNY8 plugin or companion theme
- **Complementary** — designed to pair with the companion theme (03C) for a complete site stack
- **Defers** — if both toolkit and main IGNY8 plugin are installed, toolkit's SMTP module defers to IGNY8's SMTP (03A Module 9b) to avoid conflict
- **Same module pattern** — uses identical `register()`, `activate()`, `deactivate()`, `is_active()`, `boot()` module architecture as 03A

### Plugin Identity
- **Plugin Name:** IGNY8 Toolkit
- **Text Domain:** `igny8-toolkit`
- **Option Prefix:** `igny8_toolkit_`
- **Table Prefix:** `{wp_prefix}igny8_toolkit_`
- **Min Requirements:** WordPress 5.9+, PHP 7.4+
- **License:** GPL v2+
- **Freemium Model:** Core features free, advanced features premium (detailed per module below)

**Conflict Resolution:** On `boot()`, check `class_exists('IGNY8_SMTP_Module')` — if main plugin SMTP is active, this module auto-deactivates and shows admin notice: "SMTP is handled by the IGNY8 plugin."

**Database Table: `{prefix}igny8_toolkit_email_log`**
```sql
CREATE TABLE {prefix}igny8_toolkit_email_log (
  id              BIGINT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
  to_email        VARCHAR(320) NOT NULL,
  subject         VARCHAR(500) NOT NULL,
  status          VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,

  sent_at         DATETIME NOT NULL
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8mb4;
```

### Module 5: WooCommerce Enhancements

## 6. CLAUDE CODE INSTRUCTIONS

### Context Requirements
Before starting implementation:
1. Read 03A (main plugin) — understand module manager pattern to replicate
2. Read 03C (companion theme) — understand theme as primary consumer of toolkit features

### Execution Order
```
Foundation → Performance → Forms → Security → SMTP → WooCommerce → Compliance
```

### Critical Rules
1. **Independent plugin** — must work without main IGNY8 plugin or companion theme
2. **Same module pattern** — `register()`, `activate()`, `deactivate()`, `is_active()`, `boot()` — identical to 03A
3. **SMTP conflict resolution** — check `class_exists('IGNY8_SMTP_Module')` on boot, auto-defer if main plugin active
4. **WooCommerce conditional** — Module 5 only loads when `class_exists('WooCommerce')` is true
5. **Table prefix** — all tables use `{wp_prefix}igny8_toolkit_` (different from main plugin's `{wp_prefix}igny8_`)
6. **Option prefix** — all options use `igny8_toolkit_` prefix
7. **Text domain** — `igny8-toolkit` (different from plugin's `igny8` and theme's `igny8-theme`)
8. **Freemium** — free features work without license, premium features check `class-license.php` validation
9. **Sanitize/escape** — same WordPress standards as 03A
10. **No external dependencies** — no CDN scripts, no external API calls (except SMTP + optional license check)

### File Creation Order
```
1. igny8-toolkit.php (plugin header + bootstrap)
2. includes/class-toolkit.php (singleton)
3. includes/class-module-manager.php (module orchestration)
4. includes/class-installer.php (4 DB tables)
5. includes/class-license.php (premium validation)
6. includes/admin/class-dashboard.php (overview page)
7. includes/modules/performance/* (9 files)
8. includes/modules/forms/* (7 files)
9. includes/modules/security/* (6 files)
10. includes/modules/smtp/* (4 files)
11. includes/modules/woocommerce/* (6 files)
12. admin/ (CSS + JS assets)
13. frontend/ (CSS + JS assets)
14. uninstall.php (cleanup)
15. languages/igny8-toolkit.pot (i18n)
```
