## The prompt

```text
Rank my RewardsWP members by completed referrals over the last 6 months and show me the top 15. Check AffiliateWP and remove anyone who is already an affiliate. For the rest, show their referrals and points balance, and write a short note inviting them to earn commission on top of their points. When I approve someone, add them as an active affiliate in AffiliateWP with my default rate and send the welcome email.
```
