For operations teams who keep a store catalog and an invoicing item list and want the gaps found by asking their AI assistant.

The problem
Store prices and invoice items quietly disagree
The WooCommerce catalog and the FreshBooks item list are kept separately, so prices and SKUs drift apart. Invoices go out at the wrong price, and checking each product against its item by hand rarely gets done.
Without PopdockAI
- Export products from WooCommerce
- Export items from FreshBooks
- Match them by SKU in a spreadsheet
- Find the price gap when a customer queries an invoice
With PopdockAI
- Products and items are read and matched on SKU
- A second look is made before calling an item missing
- Price and stock differences are shown side by side
- Blank and duplicate SKUs are listed, and nothing is changed

**Objective:** Compare WooCommerce products with FreshBooks items in company `{company}` by SKU, for products with status `{product-status}` (default: publish), and report gaps and price differences.
**Step 1: Read WooCommerce**
Call `woocommerce-get-product` with `status` set to `{product-status}`. Keep `product-id`, `name`, `sku`, `regular-price`, `sale-price`, `stock-quantity`. Products with no `sku` go in a "cannot match" list.
**Step 2: Read FreshBooks**
Call `freshbooks-get-item`. Keep `id`, `name`, `sku`, `unit-cost`, `inventory`, `currency-code`. For any WooCommerce SKU not found in that result, call `freshbooks-get-item` with the `sku` filter before calling it missing.
**Step 3: Join and report**
Match on SKU, case-insensitive and trimmed. Report counts, then: products with no FreshBooks item, FreshBooks items with no product, and matched pairs where `regular-price` differs from `unit-cost` or the stock figures differ. Show both values side by side.
**Rules & Guidelines:**
* FreshBooks tools (named freshbooks-...) are on the freshbooks server; WooCommerce tools (named woocommerce-...) are on the woocommerce server. Both servers must be connected.
* Pass `{company}` as the company parameter on every FreshBooks call when it is given; if FreshBooks reports more than one company and none was given, ask which one and stop.
* A sale price is not a mismatch with `unit-cost`; compare `regular-price`.
* This prompt is read-only. Never call any FreshBooks add, update, delete, mark or send tool (for example `freshbooks-add-invoice`, `freshbooks-add-payment`, `freshbooks-add-credit-note`, `freshbooks-send-invoice-by-email`) or any WooCommerce add, update or send tool (for example `woocommerce-add-order-note`, `woocommerce-update-order`, `woocommerce-send-order-details`).
**Validation:**
* If either side returns nothing, say so and report the other side as unmatched.
* If two records on one side share a SKU, list them as duplicates and do not pick one.Who it's for

Read
It reads WooCommerce products and FreshBooks items.
03
Match
It pairs them on SKU and lists blank and duplicate SKUs instead of guessing.
