## The prompt

```text
Show me every product feed with its channel, status, refresh interval and last generated time. Flag published feeds that have no refresh schedule. My prices and stock change [how often]. Suggest a refresh interval for each feed, hourly, twice daily or daily, and tell me why. Show me the plan and wait for my OK, then apply it.
```

## What happens when you paste it

You: Show me every product feed with its channel, status, refresh interval and last generated time…

Assistant: 9 feeds. 2 published feeds have no refresh schedule, 5 refresh daily and 2 refresh hourly. The 2 hourly feeds are drafts, so they never run. Calling: `adtribes/list-feeds`, `adtribes/set-feed-schedule`, `adtribes/bulk-update-feeds`.

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

Assistant: Google Shopping AU and US now refresh twice daily. The 2 unscheduled feeds now refresh daily. The Facebook feeds stay on daily. 4 feeds updated.
