 4. Save the file to `~/notes/Inbox/agent/`. Use the format `YYMMDD-pro-dev-[short-name].md`.
 
 5. **Create a database entry** using the script:
    ```bash
-   uv run --with pymongo ~/notes/skills/professional-development-business-case/scripts/prodev_tasks.py create "<paragraph>"
+   uv run --with pymongo ~/notes/skills/professional-development-business-case/scripts/prodev_tasks.py create "<paragraph>" --price <price> --vendor "<vendor>" --product-type "<product type>"

+   This inserts into `wip.agent_tasks` with `type: "prodev expense"`, `status: "todo"`, and metadata fields `price`, `vendor`, `product_type`. Save the returned document ID.
 
 6. **If Connor asks to update the wording**, update both the saved file AND the database entry:
    ```bash
    uv run --with pymongo ~/notes/skills/professional-development-business-case/scripts/prodev_tasks.py update <document_id> "<updated_paragraph>"
    ```
+   You can also update individual metadata fields with `--price`, `--vendor`, `--product-type`.
 
 ## Database Commands
 
 The script supports three commands:
-- `create "<note>"` — insert a new prodev expense entry
-- `update <doc_id> "<note>"` — update the note for an existing entry
-- `list` — list all prodev expense entries
+- `create "<note>" [--price PRICE] [--vendor VENDOR] [--product-type TYPE]` — insert a new prodev expense entry
+- `update <doc_id> "<note>" [--price PRICE] [--vendor VENDOR] [--product-type TYPE]` — update the note and/or metadata for an existing entry
+- `list` — list all prodev expense entries with price, vendor, and product type
