 Everything the [Foundation Container](https://github.com/stellarwp/foundation-container) can do,
 this wrapper can do too — binding, singletons, service providers, contextual bindings, and so on.
 
+## Service Providers
+
+When a provider needs WordPress-specific container helpers, extend the WordPress-aware provider base:
+
+```php
+<?php declare(strict_types=1);
+
+namespace My\App;
+
+use StellarWP\Foundation\ContainerWordPress\Contracts\Provider;
+
+final class My_Provider extends Provider
+{
+    public function register(): void {
+        $this->container->registerOnAction( 'init', Other_Provider::class );
+    }
+}
+```
+
+The base Foundation provider still works for providers that only need the standard container API.
+
 ## WordPress helpers
 
 On top of the base container API, this wrapper adds hook-aware service provider
