What it is.
A page that depends on scripts to show its content is blank on a viewer that runs none. The card reads the page with every script set aside and measures what is left: the visible words with and without JavaScript, and every container a script writes into that is empty in the static file.
The answer is to bake the words into the file and keep the script for behaviour.
Its laws, written into the card.
The page is measured as written; no script is run.
A container a script fills and the static file leaves empty is named.
The floor is a share of words, printed with the verdict.
How it works, once your AI has it.
NAME — `This is THE BALLAST CARD.`
ASK — the page, and the viewer it must survive.
READ — the page with every script set aside.
NAME — the empty containers and the share of words that stand.
BAKE — the words into the file; keep the script for behaviour.
LEDGER — write the ledger line.
When it says no.
Executing scripts — the reading is static by design.
Rewriting the page; it names the containers, the builder bakes them.
Calling a page standing because it looked fine in a browser → THE HULL CARD inlines the file first.

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. The words run anywhere an AI reads Markdown; the machines run wherever the host runs Python. Witnessed in Claude only. The host marks →
Take it.
