The ask
Sent verbatim as the prompt. The agent works in a copy of the workspace below and sees nothing else.
Can you cost out every dish on the fall menu from Dana's recipe cards and the Harbor price sheet, so I can see what each plate costs us and what we keep? Save it as menu_costs.xlsx with the math as live formulas. Dana left a note about how the kitchen counts it.
