The problem

Variant errors hidden inside a family

Variant structure errors in Akeneo are hard to spot across parent and child records. A product model with no children or no categories hides inside a family, and checking means opening each model.

Without PopdockAI

Open each product model in the family
Count its child products
Check categories one by one
Miss the model with no variants

With PopdockAI

Family variants and product models read
Child products counted for up to 25 models
Models with no children or categories flagged
Sampling stated, nothing changed

Prompt

**Objective:** Review the variant structure of family `{family}`.

**Step 1: Structure**

Call `akeneo-get-family-variant` with family-code `{family}`, and `akeneo-get-product-model` with family `{family}`.

**Step 2: Children**

For each product model code (cap at 25), call `akeneo-get-product` with parent-model set to that code. Record the child count.

**Step 3: Report**

Table: product model code, family-variant, parent-model, child count, categories. Flag models with zero children and models with no categories. List the family variants and their variant-attribute-sets.

**Rules & Guidelines:**

* This prompt is read-only. Never call any `akeneo-add-*`, `akeneo-update-*`, `akeneo-delete-*`, `akeneo-submit-*`, `akeneo-upsert-*` or `akeneo-start-*` tool.
* If there are more than 25 models, say you sampled the first 25.

**Validation:**

* If the family has no variants or models, report that and stop.
