## The prompt

```text
Help me clean up my coupon list. Find coupons that expired more than 90 days ago, and coupons that have never been used. Show me a table with the code, type, amount, usage count and expiry date. Before you trash anything, export the full settings of those coupons and show me the export so I have a copy. Then wait for my OK. Only trash the coupons I confirm, one by one, and tell me if any of them fail.
```

## What happens when you paste it

You: Help me clean up my coupon list…

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