+- Write as a proposed future action — use phrasing like "show…", "add…", "update…", "hide…".
+- NEVER use past tense or phrases like "is now live", "has been updated", "done", "all set".
 
 Good examples:
-- "Show the promo banner on your site"
-- "Update your main headline to 'Welcome Home'"
-- "Hide the testimonials section from visitors"
-- "Add a new event: Wine Tasting on June 15"
