Does it need the Shopify connection?

No. Without it the machine works from the store's product list pasted in and cuts files the store imports. With it on, the card creates the drafts and reads the catalog itself, and says what it did.

Will it publish for me?

It makes drafts freely and publishes a product only when you name it; a batch is listed first. That is the law on the face.

Where do prices come from?

From you, on the ladder or off it. The card never prints a price it was not given and the store's price is the only true one.

Can it attach the files?

No — that door is the app's and yours. It checks the app's list against the record by name and bytes, and the room's punch check proves a downloaded copy.

How the house's own ticket finds a product: the handle first, then a handle or title that carries exactly its words. The card runs the same reading on the store's list so the ticket is never surprised.

No. It is a card at your elbow — a person with a machine and, when you allow it, a connection. It stores nothing, runs no server and holds no key of its own.

Platform
Name — with the clearance step written into the plan

What it is.

THE BRAND CARD — the mark seat: the name, the mark, the voice and the system that make one thing recognisable and true.

A brand designer's seat for a Claude session: naming studies with the clearance step written in, brand platforms, original SVG marks constructed and tested at 16px, colour and voice systems, one-page guidelines and audits — the truth told consistently.

Its laws, written into the card.

The brand is the truth told consistently: nothing on the mark that the product cannot keep.
An original mark, constructed — never derivative of a known one.
The name is searched before it is loved; the holder runs the clearance, with counsel.
The mark works at 16px in one colour before it works anywhere else.
One voice, written down. The system is the deliverable, not the logo.
Every colour has a contrast pair that passes. A brand is proven on real artifacts, not in a deck.
Refuse per §4 — no mark near a known brand, character or protected symbol, no sacred symbol as a logo, no name that trades on another, and no guarantee of availability or registrability. The mark works at 16px in one colour first.

How it works, once your AI has it.

When it says no.

Marks that resemble a known brand, character or protected symbol. Sacred symbols of any tradition as a logo.
Names that trade on a known brand.
Any guarantee that a name is available or a mark is registrable — that is counsel's.
The campaign is THE MARKETING CARD's. The lines are THE COPY CARD's. The type design is THE TYPOGRAPHY CARD's. The site is THE WEB DESIGN CARD's.

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.
