Connect Bitly, pick your AI tool and paste the prompt.
The problem
Old short links clutter every Bitly view and report
Years of campaigns leave a Bitly account full of links nobody clicks, cluttering every view and report. Clearing them means checking each link's recent clicks by hand, and it is easy to archive one that still earns traffic.
Without PopdockAI
- Page through every link in the group
- Open each one to check recent clicks
- Decide which are safe to archive
- Archive a link that still gets traffic
With PopdockAI
- Every unarchived link is checked against recent daily clicks
- Links too new to judge are skipped
- You pick from a numbered list, and nothing changes until you answer
- Only the archived flag is set, and each link is read back

**Objective:** Archive the bitlinks in `{group-name}` (default: all groups) that have had no clicks in the last `{lookback-days}` days (default 180), after the user confirms the list.
**Step 1: Find candidates**
* Call `bitly-get-bitlink` with `archived` = false, and `group-name` when given. Drop links created inside the lookback window.
* Call `bitly-get-click-day` with `archived-link` = false, `date.from` = today minus `{lookback-days}` days, `date.to` = today, and `group-name` when given.
* A link from the first call with no clicks in the second is a candidate.
**Step 2: Confirm**
Show the candidates as a numbered table: link, title, long-url, tags, created-date. Ask the user which to archive (all, none, or a list of numbers). Do not proceed without an explicit answer.
**Step 3: Archive**
For each confirmed link, call `bitly-update-bitlink` once with `id` set to that row's `bitlink-id` and `archived` = true. Do not pass `title`, `tags` or `long-url`.
**Step 4: Confirm the result**
Call `bitly-get-bitlink` with `archived` = true and `link` for each archived link, and report which succeeded and which failed (with the error).
**Rules & Guidelines:**
* `bitly-update-bitlink` is the only write allowed, only with `archived` = true, and only on links the user confirmed in Step 2.
* Never call `bitly-add-bitlink`.
* Archiving does not stop a short link redirecting, but it hides the link from the default views and reports. Tell the user this before they confirm.
* Never archive on a truncated read: if either read hits `max-records`, raise it and read again first.
**Validation:**
* If there are no candidates, say so and stop without writing anything.
* If the user's selection is unclear, ask again rather than guess.Who it's for
