What problem does this address?
The Abilities Explorer only allows filtering by Provider (Core, Plugin, Theme), which describes where an ability comes from. There is no way to filter by what an ability does, making it difficult to find abilities in large lists when you know the functional area you're interested in (e.g. image handling, content editing) but not the source.
What is your proposed solution?
Add a Category filter dropdown that groups abilities by functional area (Image, Editorial, Content, System, etc.). Categories are auto-derived from ability slugs via keyword matching, with WordPress filter hooks (ai_ability_category_map, ai_ability_tags) so third-party plugins can extend or override them. The filter behaves identically to the Provider dropdown server-side, persisted in the URL, submitted via the same Filter button.
