+# Introduction to the Abilities API
+
+The Abilities API is a proposed WordPress feature for defining and checking custom permissions (called "abilities") in a standardized way.
+
+It allows plugins and themes to:
+
+- Register new abilities
+- Assign abilities to specific roles or users
+- Check if a user has a specific ability before performing an action
+- Expose abilities through the REST API for integration with external systems
+
+This documentation will guide you through getting started, registering abilities, using abilities in your code, and interacting with the REST API.

+# Using Abilities
+
+After registering abilities, you can check them in your code to control access.
+
+## Check if Current User Has Ability
+
+```php
+
+if ( user_can( get_current_user_id(), 'my_plugin_edit_data' ) ) {
+    // Perform action
+} else {
+    wp_die( __( 'You do not have permission to do this.', 'my-plugin' ) );
+}
+```
+
+```
+
+```Abilities can be assigned via:
+
+WordPress role management functions
+
+Custom role editing plugins
+
+Direct database queries (not recommended unless necessary)
+
+Removing Abilities :
+
+remove_ability( 'my_plugin_edit_data' );
