What it does
Reads a WooCommerce store's shipping zones, methods, and rates (flat rate, free shipping thresholds, local pickup) and turns them into a plain-language shipping policy page, rather than a generic template with placeholder numbers. Organizes the page by region if multiple shipping zones exist, and notes explicitly where information isn't available in the settings and needs to be supplied.

# Shipping Policy Writer
## When to use
A store needs a shipping policy page, or an update to an existing one, that reflects its real shipping zones, rates, and free-shipping thresholds rather than boilerplate.
## Procedure
1. Read the store's configured shipping zones, and for each zone list its methods (flat rate, free shipping, local pickup) and the associated cost or threshold.
2. Group the policy page by zone or region if more than one zone exists, so customers can find their own shipping terms quickly.
3. State free-shipping thresholds exactly as configured, the real dollar amount, not a rounded or example figure.
4. Where handling time, carrier name, or international restrictions aren't present in the shipping settings, add a clearly marked placeholder or note for the user to fill in rather than guessing.
5. Include a short section on lost or delayed packages only if the user provides that process, otherwise omit it.
6. Keep the tone plain and short, this is a reference page, not marketing copy.
## Guardrails
- Never state a shipping rate, carrier, or delivery time that isn't confirmed in the store's settings or by the user.
- Never publish the page directly, hand back a draft since policy pages often need legal or ops review.
