## The prompt

```text
Review my cart abandonment recovery setup. Read all the current settings and my recovery stats for the last 30 days. Tell me in plain words how tracking, the cart cut-off time, coupons, emails and webhooks are set up, and point out anything that looks off or could recover more carts. Suggest up to 3 changes with the reason for each. Ask me to confirm each change before you make it, then show me the old and new value.
```

## What happens when you paste it

You: Review my cart abandonment recovery setup…

Assistant: Tracking is on and 96 carts were recovered in the last 30 days, a 19% rate. The cart cut-off is 60 minutes. Recovery coupons are switched off. Calling: `wcar/get-settings`, `wcar/get-dashboard-stats`, `wcar/update-setting`.

Assistant: This will make changes in WooCommerce. Do you want me to go ahead?

Assistant: You approved 2 of 3 changes: the cut-off time went from 60 to 20 minutes, and recovery coupons are now on at 10% off. The webhook stays as it is.
