## The prompt

```text
List my current wholesale roles. Then create a new wholesale role called "[Gold Wholesale]" with the key [gold_wholesale]. Give it a flat [20]% discount off every product, a minimum order subtotal of [$500], and make it [not] tax exempt. Show me every step you will take and wait for my OK. Then do them in order and list the roles again at the end.
```
