Quick start

How it fits together

Your hub (ChecklistDek plugin)
    │
    ├── You build checklists & start runs
    │
    └── REST + Application Password ──► Each client site
                                              │
                                              └── Client checklist panel (mu-plugin)
                                                  Clients complete steps here

Important: Every managed site needs the bundled client checklist panel in wp-content/mu-plugins/. That is how checklists appear in client wp-admin and how manual steps, notes, and progress sync back to the hub. Hub-only workflows without the panel are not supported.

Who it’s for

• WordPress agencies and freelancers managing many sites
• In-house web teams running repeatable launches, migrations, security, and maintenance
• Teams who want client-visible checklists without moving SOPs into another SaaS product
