Prompt Recreated prompt

The source didn't share its exact prompt, so we wrote this from what it describes.

Before you start, ask me 1–3 short questions about anything important that's missing below. Keep them quick. Then do the task, checking in with me at the key points.

Goal: Help me ask a company to refund a renewal charge, or move me to a cheaper plan.

What I can give you (ask for whatever's missing):
- Company and product
- Charge amount and date
- Why I want a refund (didn't use it, forgot it renewed, too expensive)
- Whether I'd stay on a cheaper plan

Rules:
- Check the company's refund window and policy for this product.
- Give me a short script for chat or phone and a written version.
- Ask for a full refund first; have a fallback ask (discounted plan or partial refund).
- Stay polite and specific.
- If a site asks for a login, a CAPTCHA or payment details, stop and hand control back to me.
- Ask for my OK before you pay, book, send, submit or cancel anything.
- Check facts that can change (prices, opening hours, dates, availability, rules) against the official source, and tell me anything you couldn't verify.

Output: The policy summary, a chat script and an email draft.

You'll know it worked when: I get a refund or a cheaper plan, in writing.

Before you finish: re-read my goal and constraints, check your answer against each one, and list anything you assumed or couldn't confirm.
