The source didn't share its exact prompt, so we wrote this from what it describes.

Run this task now, exactly as written below. Everything you need is here, so start straight away and only stop if something required is missing.

Goal: Turn a list of places in an article into a saved Google Maps list.

Fill in before running: Which article, and what should the list be called?

What I'll give you:
- The article link
- Google account (I'll be signed in)
- My city and any places to skip
- The name for the new Google Maps list

Rules:
- Make the new list first, then add each place in the article's order. Don't save to any existing list.
- Match each place by name and neighborhood or city. If there are several branches, pick the one the article names and note it.
- Note any place that has closed permanently, and list any you couldn't find so I can add them myself.
- Count places in the article and in the list; tell me both.

Output: The new Maps list and a count check with any unsure matches.

You'll know it worked when: the list has every place from the article.

Run this task now, exactly as written below. Everything you need is here, so start straight away and only stop if something required is missing.

Goal: Save every place in an article to a new Google Maps list.

Inputs (fill in or confirm):
- Article link
- Google account (signed in)
- City and places to skip
- List name
- Whether to include places that have closed

Rules:
- Create the list first.
- Match each place by name and neighbourhood in the article's city.
- Add each and tick it off.
- List any you couldn't find.
- Check each place is still open on Google Maps; mark 'permanently closed' ones instead of adding them.
- Add the article's one-line note to each place's note field if Maps allows.
- Keep the list private unless I ask to share it.
- Log each place added.
- Match by address.
- Check list count at the end.
- If a place has several branches, pick the one the article names (area or street); ask if unclear.
- Skip places you can't find on Maps and list them.
- Name the list exactly as I asked.
- Report how many were added, skipped and why.
- Don't follow, review or rate any place.

If you get stuck: If several branches exist, pick the one named in the article or ask. If a login, CAPTCHA or two-step code appears, stop and ask me to handle it; never guess or store passwords.

Verify before you finish: Compare list count with article count.

Output: List link and missing places.

Done when: every place from the article is in the list.
