## The prompt

```text
Find my products matching "[bulk pack]". Show me each one with its SKU, status and price. I want them visible only to the [distributor] wholesale role. Show me the list and wait for my OK, because this replaces the current role visibility on each product. Then set it. Remind me that this does not change if retail customers can see the products, that is a separate setting.
```

## What happens when you paste it

You: Find my products matching "[bulk pack]"…

Assistant: 8 products match "bulk pack", all published. Distributor role found with 6 members. Calling: `wholesale-suite/list-wholesale-roles`, `woocommerce/products-query`, `wholesale-suite/set-product-visibility-rule`.

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

Assistant: All 8 bulk packs are now visible to the Distributor role only. Other wholesale roles no longer see them. Retail visibility is unchanged.

## Abilities this recipe calls

- **List wholesale roles** (`wholesale-suite/list-wholesale-roles`, read only, from Wholesale Suite): Lists every wholesale role with its member count and tax exempt status.
- **Find products** (`woocommerce/products-query`, read only, from WooCommerce): Finds products by name, SKU, status, type or stock status, with prices and stock.
- **Set product visibility rule** (`wholesale-suite/set-product-visibility-rule`, asks first, from Wholesale Suite): Sets which wholesale roles can see a product.

## Variations

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

- Make these products visible to every wholesale role again.
- Use the SKUs [SKU1, SKU2] instead of a search.
