Issue refunds to customers — AI Prompts for Stripe

The four heights

The same task, four distances: today's deadline, the next reviewer, the stuck moment, the pattern.

Execute — do the immediate task

Issue a full refund of $720 to Jordan Miles for invoice INV-2026-0420; refund the card used on April 20, include the reason 'event canceled', notify Jordan at jordan.miles@eventspro.com, and mark the refund in our books against revenue line 'Workshop Apr' before completing.

Every task here came from the work, not from a feature list — which is why the prompts name what you want done and never the button that does it. The tool changes; the work does not.
