You type one line per item. Claude proposes groups, routes and descriptions. You correct everything against the real items.
Type the item list
Sort into groups
Correct groups, routes
Draft sale descriptions
Check and keep list
Use: You
Have ready: one room or cupboard of items. Type one line per item (item 1, item 2...), noting condition, age, size or missing parts.
Write only what you know about condition; leave out what you cannot confirm.
Use: Claude
Ask Claude to sort items into keep, sell, give away or recycle, with route, reason and facts not stated in the files.
What to paste into the tool
Task: My item list sorted into four groups with a suggested route per item, using only what I wrote. Sort my items into four groups: keep, sell, give away, recycle. Give a table with columns: item, group, route, reason (one line, using only what I wrote), facts known, facts not stated in the files. Routes may be: sell to someone I know, sell online, give to a friend or family member, donate, recycle, or keep in place. For a kept item write the route 'keep in place'. If you cannot set a route from what I wrote, leave the route blank for me to set; that does not change the group. If you need a fact I did not give, such as condition, list it under facts not stated in the files. Do not invent prices, brands, ages or condition. Do not post, send or contact anyone. I make the final choice. Items: [paste the checked item list here].
Use: You
Accept or change every group and route against the real items; check no item was dropped or added.
Look at the real item when unsure. Mark anything with a safety, hygiene or data concern to handle yourself. Where a route needs local rules, set the route yourself from your local rules before you act on it. The item stays in the group you chose while you set its route. If no route fits, choose a disposal route yourself; disposal is not the same as recycling. Set prices from real listings.
Use: Claude
Ask Claude for a short draft description per sell item, with a 'facts to add' line for gaps.
What to paste into the tool
Task: A short, plain draft description for each sell item below, using only the facts I give. Do not add features, brand claims, age, size, condition or price. Where a fact is missing, write 'not stated in the files' and add it to a 'facts to add' line. Keep the tone honest and simple. Do not post or contact anyone. Items: [paste the sell-group rows here].
Use: You
Correct each description against the real item; keep the sorted list with routes and descriptions.
Check every fact, flaw and missing part. Fill 'facts to add' gaps yourself. Add any flaw the assistant left out. Do not add a price unless you set it. Check each item has one group and route. Nothing is posted or sent. You decide when and whether to act on any route.
You write one numbered note per item. Gemini flags missing facts first, then sorts and drafts. You confirm each stage.
Write item notes
List missing facts
Fill the gaps
Sort with reasons
Accept or change
Draft descriptions
Check and keep
Use: You
Have ready: a short numbered note per item (I1, I2...): what it is, its condition as you see it, why you part with it.
Check each note has only facts you know.
Use: Gemini
Ask Gemini which facts each note is missing, without sorting yet.
What to paste into the tool
Task: A list of the facts missing from each item note, and nothing else. Read only these item notes. For each note, list what fact is missing to decide between keep, sell, give away and recycle. Do not sort yet. Do not guess condition, price or age. Do not contact anyone. Notes: [paste the item notes here].
Use: You
Add the missing facts by looking at each item, or write 'not stated'.
Check each answer against the item. Do not guess to fill a gap.
Use: Gemini
Ask Gemini for groups, routes and reasons citing note numbers, with facts known and facts not stated.
What to paste into the tool
Task: My notes sorted into groups with routes, citing the note numbers as the only source. Give a table with columns: note number, item, group (keep, sell, give away or recycle), route, reason that cites the note number, facts known, facts not stated. For a kept item write the route 'keep in place'. If a route is not stated, write 'not stated - check'; that does not change the group. If the notes are not enough, say which note needs a fact. Do not invent prices, brands, age or condition. Do not contact anyone. Notes: [paste the updated item notes here].
Use: You
Make the final choice on every group and route against the real items.
Check each reason matches its note. Mark anything needing local rules or a safety step as 'not stated - check'. Such an item stays in the group you chose; only its route is not stated. Items the table left out go back into the list.
Use: Gemini
Ask Gemini for a draft description per sell item, citing its note, with a 'not in notes' line.
What to paste into the tool
Task: A short plain draft description for each sell item below, using only its note and citing the note number. Do not add features, claims, size, age, condition or price. List anything a buyer would likely ask that the note does not answer as 'not in notes'. Do not post or contact anyone. Notes: [paste the sell-item notes here].
Use: You
Correct every statement against the item and keep the sorted list with routes and descriptions.
Remove unconfirmed claims. Check nothing was posted or sent and you still have the final say.
You decide every group and route by hand. ChatGPT only words the sale descriptions from facts you confirmed.
Sort items by hand
Pick each route
Word the descriptions
Correct and finish
Use: You
Have ready: the items. Put each into keep, sell, give away or recycle, with reason, facts known and facts not stated in the files.
Check every item is in one group with a label, reason, known facts and gaps marked 'not stated in the files'.
Use: You
Give each item a route you can really do, from your local options, plus a short list of local rules to check.
Check each route is something you can really do. Where you do not know the local rule or whether the route accepts the item, write 'not stated in the files - check'. Such an item stays in the group you chose; only its route is not stated in the files. Do not rely on guesses.
Use: ChatGPT
Ask ChatGPT to word a short draft description per sell item from your confirmed facts, with a 'facts to add' line.
