How an agent calls it
Agents call this ability by name and pass the inputs it needs. A call looks roughly like this:
{
"ability": "html-editor-syntax-highlighter.add-syntax-highlighting-in-the-classic-p",
"args": { "input": ... }
}The agent runs the ability, then hands the result back for you to review before anything is published.
