THE PROMPT
Find all orders that have been in Pending payment for more than 7 days. Show me the order number, customer email, total, payment method, items and how long each has been waiting. Point out any customer who placed a paid order after the pending one, since they probably just tried again. Wait for my OK, then cancel only the orders I approve and add a private note to each that says it was cancelled for no payment.

What Happens When You Paste It

Your assistant picks the right abilities, pulls live data from your store and does the work. Here’s roughly how the conversation goes.

1
It reads first. Read abilities run straight away, so it’s working from your real catalog, not guessing.
2
It checks with you. Anything that writes to your store stops and asks before it goes ahead.
3
It’s all logged. Every ability call shows up in wp-admin, so you can see exactly what changed.
