Master prompt — California property tax appeal analysis

Works for any California county. Copy everything in the box below into a fresh chat with an AI assistant that can search the web and run code. Replace the bracketed lines at the top and delete anything that doesn't apply.

## Shell script to update a subdomain managed by Linode with the IP of a dyndns managed domain
##
## Use this script if you don't want to CNAME the dnydns domain for privacy/security reasons. You
## probably want to run this as a cronjob.
##
## You will find the DOMAIN_ID in the text zone file of your domain between square brackets. The
## RESOURCE_ID is the id arg on the edit url of your chosen subdomain entry.
