ACTION CHECKLIST
- [ ] Clarify the exact output and success metric before starting.
- [ ] Gather required inputs from one trusted source only.
- [ ] Execute the workflow in sequence without adding side tasks.
- [ ] Run one quality check and fix the highest-risk issue first.
- [ ] Save the final result with a short reuse note.
EXAMPLE / DEMO
Before: Notes are scattered and decisions are unclear.
After: Inputs are structured, steps are executed, and the output is ready to use immediately.
WHY IT WORKS
- Converts vague intent into an explicit sequence.
- Emphasizes shipping one validated result fast.
- Creates repeatability for future runs.
NEXT ACTION
- Run this checklist on one live task now; keep scope to a single measurable outcome.
Source notes (kept for context)
Why hygiene matters
If product fields drift, automation quality drops fast. Collections break, filters become unreliable, and merchandising gets harder.
Focus areas
- naming conventions
- consistent tag system
- option formatting
- collection assignment rules
- description completeness
