## The prompt

```text
Create a new product from these notes: [name, price, SKU, stock count, a few lines about it]. First check that no product already uses that SKU or a very similar name. Show me the product you will create and wait for my OK. Then create it as a draft, not published, with stock tracking on. Write a long and short description for it, then suggest tags and add the ones I approve. Give me the edit link when it is done so I can add photos.
```

## What happens when you paste it

You: Create a new product from these notes: [name, price, SKU, stock count, a few lines about it]…

Assistant: No product uses SKU MUG-OAT-12. The closest name is "Oat Ceramic Mug 8oz", a different size, so it is not a duplicate. Calling: `woocommerce/products-query`, `woocommerce/product-create`, `storeagent/generate-product-description`, `storeagent/generate-product-tags`, `storeagent/apply-product-tags`.

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

Assistant: Created "Oat Ceramic Mug 12oz" as a draft at $24, 40 in stock, with both descriptions. Added 5 tags you approved. It is ready for photos.
