## What it is
A PHP library that extends WordPress custom post types and taxonomies with improved defaults, declarative admin columns, filters, and front-end features. It lets developers register post types and taxonomies quickly without repeating boilerplate code.

## Use cases
- register custom post types in wordpress with better defaults
- add sortable admin columns to a wordpress post listing screen
- add filter dropdowns to the wordpress admin post list
- create custom taxonomies with automatic labels and admin ui
- customize taxonomy metaboxes on the post editor
- reduce boilerplate when building wordpress content types

## When to choose
- you are a wordpress developer repeatedly registering custom post types and taxonomies
- you want declarative admin table columns and filters without writing custom admin code
- you want sensible defaults for labels, capabilities, and menu placement

## When to avoid
- you are not building on wordpress
- you need a no-code plugin with a settings UI rather than a developer library
- your project only needs a single simple post type with default behavior

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: developer-tools, plugin-system
- domain: cms, web-development, developer-tools
- platform: php, self-hosted
- tags: wordpress, custom-post-types, taxonomies, admin-ui, php-library, web-server
