## The prompt

```text
List my published VidShop videos and the WooCommerce products tagged in each one. Check those products in WooCommerce and flag any that are out of stock, on backorder or not published. For each video, tell me if every product is unavailable or only some of them, and suggest an in-stock product from the same category to tag instead. Do not change any video.
```

## What happens when you paste it

You: List my published VidShop videos and the WooCommerce products tagged in each one…

Assistant: Your 26 published videos tag 41 products. 5 videos tag something you cannot sell right now. 2 of them, Autumn Layers and Gift Box Unboxing, have no buyable product left at all. Calling: `vidshop/list-videos`, `woocommerce/products-query`.

Assistant: Fix Autumn Layers and Gift Box Unboxing first: shoppers can watch them but not buy. Swap the sold-out Cord Overshirt for the Twill Overshirt in 3 other videos.

## Abilities this recipe calls

- **List shoppable videos** (`vidshop/list-videos`, read only, from VidShop): Lists your shoppable videos by status, origin or popularity, with the products tagged in each one.
- **Find products** (`woocommerce/products-query`, read only, from WooCommerce): Finds products by name, SKU, status, type or stock status, with prices and stock.

## Variations

Add one of these to the end of the prompt. Swap anything in [brackets] for your own details.

- Unpublish the videos with nothing to buy after I confirm.
- Also flag products with fewer than 5 in stock.
