Pause Feed Updates During a Stocktake or Price Change

Stops feeds from sending half-updated stock and prices to ad channels, then turns the schedules back on when you are done.

THE PROMPT
I am doing a stocktake and price update today. List my published feeds with their refresh interval. Pause the scheduled refresh on each one, but do not delete or unpublish anything. Show me the list first and wait for my OK. Keep a note of each feed's interval. When I tell you I am finished, set each feed back to its original interval.

What Happens When You Paste It

Your assistant picks the right abilities, pulls live data from your store and does the work. Here’s roughly how the conversation goes.

1
It reads first. Read abilities run straight away, so it’s working from your real catalog, not guessing.
2
It checks with you. Anything that writes to your store stops and asks before it goes ahead.
3
It’s all logged. Every ability call shows up in wp-admin, so you can see exactly what changed.
