THE CARD AS TEXT · FOR EYES AND FOR MACHINES
THE AFFILIATE PLAYBOOK · A small nonprofit's year run from the director's own playbook: calendar, acknowledgments, board packets.
WAKES WHEN A director sets up the year's calendar. · Gifts came in and acknowledgments are due. · A board meeting needs its packet.
THE LOOP
Set the year: meetings and the return date
Draft acknowledgments by printed thresholds
Build the board packet from the playbook
Leave every figure to the treasurer
NEVER
Never puts a value on a noncash gift
Never certifies a figure
Never gives tax or legal advice
IT MAKES calendar — board meetings, the information-return due date from the rule in org.json (NO DUE-DATE RULE SET if absent, exit 1), and state items only if org.json lists them; acks — lists gifts that meet the thresholds in org.json and writes one letter draft per gift into the --out folder; a threshold not set prints NO THRESHOLD SET and its rule is skipped (exit 1); board-packet — agenda skeleton: consent items, finance, programs, open items from the playbook's headings; export — the organization and its gift records as one JSON document.
THE LAW The director's playbook leads. The card turns it into a calendar, drafts and packets, using only the thresholds and dates the treasurer sets, and leaves every number and signature to the people accountable for them.

What it is.
Use when a small nonprofit's director runs the year: board calendar, return due date, donor acknowledgment drafts and board packets from their playbook. Not tax or legal advice.
It carries a machine that shows its working: calendar — board meetings, the information-return due date from the rule in org.json (NO DUE-DATE RULE SET if absent, exit 1), and state items only if org.json lists them; acks — lists gifts that meet the thresholds in org.json and writes one letter draft per gift into the --out folder; a threshold not set prints NO THRESHOLD SET and its rule is skipped (exit 1); board-packet — agenda skeleton: consent items, finance, programs, open items from the playbook's headings; export — the organization and its gift records as one JSON document — 20 checks in its selftest. It never puts a value on a noncash gift; never certifies a figure; never gives tax or legal advice.
The law, written into the card.
It is in the card itself, so the AI follows it.
THE LAWThe director's playbook leads. The card turns it into a calendar, drafts and packets, using only the thresholds and dates the treasurer sets, and leaves every number and signature to the people accountable for them.
The method.
Set the year from the organization's fiscal year end and meeting months. The information return's due date is worked out from the rule the organization sets in its own file; with no rule set it prints NO DUE-DATE RULE SET. State items appear only if the director lists them.
Draft an acknowledgment for each gift that needs one, by the thresholds the treasurer sets in the organization's file; with none set it prints NO THRESHOLD SET and drafts nothing for that rule. A gift with goods or services states what was given and the organization's own estimate, then waits for the treasurer's wording. Noncash gifts are described, never valued.
Build each board packet's agenda from the director's own playbook headings: consent items, finance, programs, open items.
Mark every draft for the treasurer or the director to check before it goes out.
What you bring.
Your organization's fiscal year end and meeting months.
The acknowledgment thresholds and return due-date rule, confirmed by your treasurer or accountant.
Your gift records.
Your own playbook: how you run the year.
Planned as a separate seat, not in this box and not yet on sale: the studio's own nonprofit playbook.
What it does once your AI has it.
calendar Board meetings, the information-return due date from the rule in org.json (NO DUE-DATE RULE SET if absent, exit 1), and state items only if org.json lists them
acks Lists gifts that meet the thresholds in org.json and writes one letter draft per gift into the --out folder; a threshold not set prints NO THRESHOLD SET and its rule is skipped (exit 1)

export The organization and its gift records as one JSON document
What it will never do.
It never puts a value on a noncash gift; never certifies a figure; never gives tax or legal advice.
Where it hands off: Tax questions → the treasurer or an accountant; Volunteer days → THE VOLUNTEER DAY; Governance disputes → counsel.
It is not tax or legal advice. It is an AI reading a text file: it can be wrong, so check what matters against your own records and the source. The holder brings their own AI; no endorsement by Anthropic or any other AI company is claimed.
What’s in the buy.

CARD.md — the whole card in ten sections: face, law, method, machine, what you bring, never, tests, seal, term.
scripts/affiliate.py — the machine, Python standard library only; `selftest` proves it on its own fixtures.
tests/EVALS.json and scripts/evals.py — 8 test prompts and the offline runner that scores your AI's answers.
references/ — the data schema and FICTIONAL demo files, invented to show the machine, not real.
MY-LEDGER.md — your own record of what you asked and what you decided.
START-HERE.md, system/short-prompt.md, system/rules.md — the doors, for any AI with or without skills.
card.svg, card.json, card.html, AUDIT.md, MANIFEST.md, WITNESS.md, SELFTEST.md — the faces and the proof.
NOT IN THE BOX — any studio edition (planned, not yet on sale: the studio's own nonprofit playbook). Also not in the box: any data you must bring, and advice of any kind (not tax or legal advice).

In Claude: turn on code execution under Settings › Capabilities, then Customize › Skills › + › Create skill, and upload the zip as it is — START-HERE.md in the box walks you through it, and tells you how to keep the ledger. In ChatGPT, Gemini and the rest: a Project, a GPT or a Gem with the card’s files attached and the short door in the box pasted as its instructions.

HELD OFF SALE. Held off sale until counsel has read it. It is seated so it can be read; it stays off the till until then.
Nº 1231 — LAUNCHING SOON
Sold as is under the term printed. A card instructs an AI you operate; results depend on your model, your files and your judgement. Not medical, legal, tax or financial advice, never the person’s boss, and not a licence to practise. The terms →
One payment. The file is yours to keep and keeps working at its edition; new editions issued in the year after you buy reach you by email as replacement files. Tax is added at checkout where it applies. Nothing auto-renews.
A TERM, NOT A SUBSCRIPTION: NOTHING RENEWS ITSELF AND NOBODY IS CHARGED AGAIN. WHEN A TERM ENDS THE FILES STAY ON YOUR COMPUTER AND STAY READABLE — FREEZE, NOT LOSS.
THE MACHINE · IN THE OPEN · FROM THE CARD’S OWN SELFTEST.MD
affiliate.py, every command showing its working.
A small Python program, standard library only. Your AI runs it; you can too. The block below is pasted from the card’s own SELFTEST.md, as printed when it was run from inside the packet.
calendar
board meetings, the information-return due date from the rule in org.json (NO DUE-DATE RULE SET if absent, exit 1), and state items only if org.json lists them
acks
lists gifts that meet the thresholds in org.json and writes one letter draft per gift into the --out folder; a threshold not set prints NO THRESHOLD SET and its rule is skipped (exit 1)
board-packet
agenda skeleton: consent items, finance, programs, open items from the playbook's headings
export
the organization and its gift records as one JSON document
selftest
20 checks that prove the machine; it must print selftest 20/20
THE SELFTEST, AS PRINTED
ok 1 calendar: 06-30 year end, rule 5 months / day 15 from org.json → return due 2026-11-15, rule printed
ok 2 calendar: 12-31 year end → due 2027-05-15; listed state item printed
ok 3 calendar: no state items invented when org.json lists none
ok 4 calendar: no due-date rule in org.json → NO DUE-DATE RULE SET, no date shown, exit 1
ok 5 acks: cash 250.00 gets a letter at ack_threshold 250, 249.99 does not
ok 6 acks: payment 100 with goods 30 → goods or services and the good-faith estimate from the gift record; 75 with goods 20 → none
ok 7 acks: the treasurer line is on the goods-or-services draft and not on a plain one
ok 8 acks: noncash letter carries the description and never a value
ok 9 acks: gifts dated after --today are skipped and counted
ok 10 acks: noncash gift without a description is refused, exit 1
ok 11 acks: ack_threshold 500 in org.json changes which gifts need a letter
ok 12 acks: ack_threshold missing → NO THRESHOLD SET, no letter under that rule; the disclosure rule still runs; exit 1
ok 13 acks: quid_pro_quo_threshold missing → NO THRESHOLD SET, no disclosure letter; the ack rule still runs; exit 1
ok 14 acks: no thresholds in org.json → nothing falls back to a built-in number; only the noncash letter
ok 15 acks: no draft in any run speaks of a deduction (no tax advice)
ok 16 acks: same inputs give the same letter bytes; letters start DRAFT
ok 17 board-packet: playbook headings become open items; gifts since the last meeting summed with source
ok 18 board-packet: unscheduled month flagged; missing playbook said plainly
ok 19 export: valid JSON, comment lines skipped
ok 20 bad input exits 2 (missing org.json; a threshold that is not a number)

QUESTIONS AT THE TABLE
Asked before the wire.
What does it need from me?
Your organization's fiscal year end and meeting months. The acknowledgment thresholds and return due-date rule, confirmed by your treasurer or accountant. Your gift records. Your own playbook: how you run the year. If something it needs is missing, it says what is missing and stops there.
Does it send anything anywhere?
No. The machine is a standard-library Python program that runs on your own computer and sends nothing anywhere; the words run wherever an AI reads Markdown. No server, no account, no key.
What is on the record?
The machine's selftest (20/20), run from inside the packet in Claude on 2026-10-13 on fictional fixtures and pasted into SELFTEST.md as printed; the twelve-check audit (AUDIT.md). Owed, and said so in WITNESS.md: The 8 test prompts asked in fresh chats with the card installed. Until they are run and scored, the tests are owed. Any run on real data. Every demo file is fictional. The punch on the face is the SHA-256 of SKILL.md, so a downloaded copy can be checked against this room.
Can it be wrong?
Yes — it is an AI reading a text file: it can be wrong and can invent a number, a rule, a name or a date; check what matters against your own records and the source; the risk is yours. LICENSE-NOTE.md rides in the packet and is the licence. It is not tax or legal advice.
What will it never do?
It never puts a value on a noncash gift; never certifies a figure; never gives tax or legal advice.
