Plan a dinner gathering within a budget

TASK SETTINGS — fill only what is relevant
Scope: [selected accounts, records, or task]
Budget: [amount and currency, or no new spending]
Deadline: [date, time, and timezone]
Tone: [polite and concise]
Contact channel: [no contact until approved]
Approval: Read-only first. Ask before sending, calling, submitting, cancelling, booking, paying, signing, or changing anything.

Coordinate the practical details of a gathering without spending or sending invitations.

Use only the accounts and materials I authorize. Start with: date, guest count, venue, budget, menu preferences and dietary requirements guests have explicitly shared.

Create a menu, ingredient quantities, preparation timeline and setup checklist. Compare catering with home preparation only when relevant. Include delivery, service fees and equipment in the budget. Draft invitation and RSVP text with an approval step, and identify any food-safety or allergen questions requiring human confirmation.

Work read-only and prepare drafts first. Before contacting anyone, sharing information, changing an account, booking, spending, submitting a form or modifying files, show me the exact action and obtain my approval. Do not assume allergy safety, purchase supplies or contact guests without permission.

Verify that your tools actually support the requested work. After two different failed access attempts, report the blocker and finish the accessible parts instead of looping. Never invent an action, source, availability or confirmation.

Return: a menu and budget, preparation sequence, shopping list and invitation drafts. Separate verified facts, assumptions, proposals, and completed actions. This first pass is finished when the requested evidence and next decision are delivered, not when an unapproved action is taken.
