Source-backed example. Practical decision guidance is proposed and untested; this is not a full implementation guide.
The problem
Slow-moving inventory needs attention, but turning product data into relevant promotional materials requires additional creative and offer setup work.
Agent job
Identify slow-selling products and generate related advertising creatives and promotional codes.
Expected output
Product-focused promotional creative and codes for review before use.

Case-specific decision guidance · untested
Case-specific decision guidance and first checks are original proposals. The linked source supports the attributed task; this added guidance has not been executed.
A retailer may identify stock that is moving slowly but still need to decide whether a promotion is appropriate and how the offer should be expressed. Creative generation can get ahead of inventory accuracy, margin constraints or discount rules.
This job could connect a clearly defined slow-stock signal to reviewable promotional ideas and proposed code settings. Keeping commercial assumptions visible lets the owner decide whether an offer makes sense before it becomes active.
Why an agent / simpler alternative
Useful judgment
Distinguish stale inventory from temporarily low sales and align product-specific creative with approved offer constraints.
Simpler alternative
Use a standard clearance collection when the products and discount rules are already decided.
Unsuitable when
The data cannot support stock decisions or the workflow would activate discounts, spend or publish without approval.
Proposed inputs
Name
Inventory/sales extract
Owner
Retail owner
Minimum scope
Relevant products, stock, sales window and exclusions
Quality check
Check variants, returns and data date
Name
Promotion brief
Owner
Merchant
Minimum scope
Allowed offer concepts, margin constraints and brand rules
Quality check

Access and setup — proposed or unknown
Proposed minimum
Read a limited export and draft creative/code proposals; no live store writes, ad spend or code activation.
Compatibility unknowns
Current store integration, inventory definitions, promotion features and runtime compatibility are unknown.
External actions requiring approval
Creating live discount codes, changing prices, publishing ads or sharing customer/product data externally requires approval.
Expected deliverable and review checks
Proposed artifact
Candidate product list, creative concepts and proposed promotion-code configuration with review questions.
Critical checks
Verify stock and variant scope; distinguish slow sales from recent listing; check offer dates, exclusions and code stacking.
Missing output evidence
This overlay adds no new output inspection, execution or validation; consult the referenced canonical source outcome limits.
Failure signals and proposed responses
Signal
A new product is classified as slow-moving
Why it matters
A short observation window creates a false signal
Proposed response
Separate recent launches and request a suitable comparison window.
Signal
A code applies beyond selected variants
Why it matters
The offer can exceed intended commercial scope
Proposed response
Specify exact eligibility and inspect configuration before activation.
Effort and cost — unknown
Setup work
Define slow-stock criteria and offer boundaries.
Ongoing review
Review inventory changes and commercial terms before use.
Unknowns
Margin data, seasonal effects, promotion behavior and service costs are unknown.
First check — proposed, unexecuted
Status
proposed_unexecuted
Synthetic fixture
Invent four products including a recent launch, an excluded variant and stale stock; draft candidate offers without activating codes.
