## The prompt

```text
Find orders refunded in the last [number] days and skip guest orders. For each customer on those orders, list their memberships and show any membership whose order ID matches the refunded order, with the plan name, status and start date. Show me the list and wait for my OK. Deleting a membership removes the customer's access and cannot be undone, so only delete the ones I confirm.
```

## What happens when you paste it

You: Find orders refunded in the last [number] days and skip guest orders…

Assistant: 6 refunded orders in the last 30 days, 4 from registered customers. 2 of those customers have an active Gold Club membership linked to the refunded order. Calling: `woocommerce/orders-query`, `woocommerce-memberships/user-memberships-list`, `woocommerce-memberships/plans-get`, `woocommerce-memberships/user-memberships-delete`, `woocommerce/order-add-note`.

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

Assistant: Deleted 2 memberships after your OK: membership 1182 for customer 77 and membership 1190 for customer 103. The other 2 customers had no membership tied to those orders.
