The prompt

I keep asking AI to do the same task by hand. Instead, build me a small program that does it, so I can run it myself any time without using AI. The task: [e.g. rename downloaded invoices by date and vendor and move them into monthly folders / turn my weekly sales CSV into a summary chart / resize and watermark product photos] How often I do it: [ ] My computer: [Windows / Mac / Linux]; what I can install: [Python / nothing, browser only] Example input and the output I expect: [paste or describe] Please: 1. Ask me any questions you need first (max 5). 2. Pick the simplest tool for me: a Python script, a small HTML page that runs offline in the browser, or a spreadsheet formula. Explain why in one line. 3. Write the complete code with comments. 4. Add a dry-run mode that shows what it would do before changing any files. 5. Give step-by-step instructions to run it, written for a non-programmer. 6. Add 2-3 tests or a sample file so I can check it works. Never delete files; move or copy them instead.
