## The prompt

```text
Build my production list for today. Find all my orders in Processing status, oldest first. For each order, read what the customer chose in the product options: the text to print or engrave, the colours, sizes, dates and the names of any uploaded files. Group the list by product so I can make similar items together. Flag any order where a text field looks misspelled, is empty, or an expected file is missing, so I can contact the customer before I start.
```

## What happens when you paste it

You: Build my production list for today…

Assistant: 18 orders are in Processing: 11 engraved cutting boards, 5 custom mugs and 2 photo prints. Order 4127 has an empty engraving field. Order 4133 has no photo file. Calling: `woocommerce/orders-query`, `ppom/get-order-selections`.

Assistant: Start with the 11 cutting boards: 7 in walnut, 4 in maple, with the engraving text listed in order. Email the customers on orders 4127 and 4133 before you begin those two.
