One of the fancy things within WordPress-plugins, is the availability of shortcodes. 
These codes will provide access to plugin-specific things, like displaying a gallery, or a Google-Map. 
The downside about this, is that there’s no generic overview of all available shortcodes within your environment.
This plugin will provide a list of all available shortcodes, right where the action is. When you’re editing your content. And it won’t skip the details: it’ll show you what its origin is. 
Most of all, if it’s available in the sourcecode, the documentation will be shown.
The plugin is largely based on <a href="http://php.net/manual/en/book.reflection.php" rel="nofollow ugc">PHP’s Reflection functionality</a>, and therefore only available from PHP version 5.0.0.

Shortcode Reference

This plugin will provide a list and details about available shortcodes in your current installment. All when you need it most - when editing content.

It’s common practice for digital agencies to build a WordPress site/theme then simply hand it off to the client for day-to-day updating. The developers work hard to strike a balance between replicating the designer’s vision and making the theme easy for the client to use. As the design becomes more complex the developer faces questions: Will the client remember to wrap this in a <code><blockquote></code>? Can we count on the content manager remembering to add <code>class="btn"</code> to that link?
It can be equally frustrating from the client side. You don’t want to deal with learning HTML but you want your content to look just as well formatted as the stuff the agency put in at launch. The agency sent over a formatting/style guide but it never seems to be around when you need it.
WP Client Reference attempts to solve these problems by embedding client documentation directly into WordPress. Now agencies can include style guides, tutorials, FAQs, and more without worrying about content managers on the client side not knowing how to format that complicated call-to-action. It’s also useful for any type of team to keep track of information (with versioning) right within WordPress.
