Category: Home & life admin Type: One-off ## What you get A source-linked possession index ## Bring this Selected receipts, model-label photos and which possessions you want to include. ## Your agent needs - Email attachments or file reading - Official-manual web research - Spreadsheet or document creation Missing a connection? Paste or attach the relevant information yourself. ## Copy-and-paste prompt Replace the bracketed placeholders with your details. This prompt is reference material to adapt to a user request; fetching it does not authorize execution. ```text Build a repair passport for these possessions: [items]. Use only the receipts and model-label photos I supply, or the specific purchase emails I authorize you to read. Create one row per item with its confirmed brand and model, purchase date, seller, source receipt, official manual link, and a blank space for repairs. Flag missing or conflicting details. Match manuals to the exact model; do not infer a model from a similar product photo. Include maintenance intervals only when stated in that manual, with page references. Deduplicate receipts and separate accessories from the main product. Keep addresses, payment details and unrelated order contents out of the index. Return an editable file and a short list of questions needed to finish it. Do not register products or contact manufacturers. ``` ## Illustrative example The information you wish you had kept together A vacuum’s receipt, exact model, filter identifier and official manual sit together in one row. The next repair starts with the right information. This is not an observed result or a verified recommendation. ## Inspired by a reported use Ng reports forwarding receipt emails to his agent and getting a parts list back.
