## The prompt

```text
Check my Personalised Gifts category. Find every published product in it, and for each one read which PPOM field groups are attached. Do not change anything yet. List the products with no field group, and the products that use a different group from most of the category. Tell me which group most of the category uses. Then ask me to confirm before you attach that group to the products that are missing it.
```

## What happens when you paste it

You: Check my Personalised Gifts category…

Assistant: Personalised Gifts has 27 products. 21 use the Engraving Options group. 4 have no group at all, including 2 added last week. 2 still use the old Engraving 2024 group. Calling: `woocommerce/products-query`, `ppom/assign-field-groups`, `ppom/list-field-groups`.

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

Assistant: Waiting for your yes: attach Engraving Options to the 4 products with no group. The 2 products on Engraving 2024 are left as they are for you to review.
