Carry AI drafts into editable WordPress articles.
Load Markdown created with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or another writing tool. Review the source and preview side by side, adjust post settings, and insert the article as standard WordPress blocks.
KOTOTSUGI is free software licensed under GPL-2.0-or-later. The current version is 0.4.1.
Receive Markdown. Pass on editable blocks.
Paste a draft or load a .md, .markdown, or .txt file. The resulting headings, paragraphs, tables, and images remain editable in the standard WordPress block editor.
Preview before applying
Review headings, lists, tables, quotes, code, links, images, and GitHub-style callouts before they enter the editor.
Know what will happen before applying
Review Front Matter under Post settings, then use Review before applying to inspect warnings, compare three insertion methods, and adjust conversion options.
Continue in the standard editor
KOTOTSUGI generates standard WordPress blocks instead of locking the body into a proprietary format. Edit, reorder, or replace content before publishing.
Draft. Review. Carry the article into WordPress.
Copy the bundled service-neutral AI authoring rules when asking a writing tool for a KOTOTSUGI-ready draft. A sample article is also included for a one-click first trial.
- 01Ask an AI for the article
Create Markdown with body copy, title, excerpt, tags, and image alternative text in the language requested by the reader.
- 02Review it in KOTOTSUGI
Check the source, preview, Front Matter, heading hierarchy, image URLs, and other preflight results.
- 03Apply editable blocks
Insert at the cursor, replace the current post body, or save the import as a separate WordPress draft.
Carry article content and post settings together.
KOTOTSUGI reads titles, excerpts, slugs, tags, categories, and featured images from YAML Front Matter. Edit each value before applying it or disable individual settings.
Supports the Markdown used in practical articles.
Convert ATX headings, paragraphs, bold, italic, inline code, links, images, ordered and unordered lists, tables, quotes, fenced code blocks, horizontal rules, and GitHub-style callouts such as NOTE.
Front Matter uses a focused YAML-compatible subset for post settings. Unknown keys are shown for review and are never applied automatically.
Front Matter example
---
title: Article title
excerpt: Article summary
slug: article-slug
tags: [WordPress, Markdown]
categories: [Guides]
featured_image_alt: Description of the image
---Review first. Never auto-save the current post.
KOTOTSUGI does not publish AI output automatically. It helps a person identify likely problems, inspect the result, and decide how the content should enter WordPress.
See syntax that may not convert and return to its source line.
Detect skipped heading levels and multiple H1 headings before insertion.
Review relative or malformed URLs and retain the original URL when import fails.
Adding or replacing blocks leaves final saving to the WordPress editor.
Validate permissions, URLs, formats, and size while rejecting SVG and private-network URLs.
Inserted articles remain as WordPress blocks even when the plugin is deactivated.
Download KOTOTSUGI free from GitHub Releases.
Download the latest distribution ZIP, upload it from Add Plugins in WordPress, and activate it. Open the workspace from the KOTOTSUGI button in the block editor toolbar.
