## The prompt

```text
Find wishlists with no items, and wishlists not updated in the last [12 months]. Show me how many there are and a sample of 10 with the owner and last update date. Deleting cannot be undone, so wait for my OK, then delete only the empty ones I approve.
```

## What happens when you paste it

You: Find wishlists with no items, and wishlists not updated in the last [12 months]…

Assistant: 612 wishlists are empty and 230 more have not changed in 12 months. Calling: `saveto-wishlist/list-wishlists`, `saveto-wishlist/delete-wishlist`.

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

Assistant: Deleted the 612 empty wishlists. I left the 230 old ones with items, so shoppers keep what they saved.

## Abilities this recipe calls

- **List wishlists** (`saveto-wishlist/list-wishlists`, read only, from SaveTo Wishlist): Lists wishlists with their items, filtered by owner, status, item count or date.
- **Delete wishlists** (`saveto-wishlist/delete-wishlist`, asks first, from SaveTo Wishlist): Deletes one or more wishlists. This cannot be undone.

## Variations

Add one of these to the end of the prompt. Swap anything in [brackets] for your own details.

- Also delete old wishlists that have only [1] item.
- Only show me the numbers, do not delete anything.
