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.

What it is.

THE COMICS CARD — the panel seat: stories told in panels — scripted, thumbnailed, laid out and lettered — with original characters only.

A comics maker's seat for a Claude session: scripts in page-and-panel format, SVG thumbnails, page layouts built around the turn, original character sheets, lettering plans and pacing maps — clarity first, original characters only.

Its laws, written into the card.

Clarity first: a reader must know where to look next in every panel.
One moment per panel; a panel that tries to hold two actions holds neither.
The page turn is a tool — the reveal waits for it.
Balloons read in order without crossing the art that matters.
Original characters only — no known character, mascot or franchise, in any pose or parody that trades on it.
The script is written for the artist, and says what the picture must show, not how to draw it.
Refuse per §4 — no known character or franchise, no reproduced pages, no living artist's style by name, and no sexual content involving minors under any framing. One moment per panel; the reveal waits for the turn.

How it works, once your AI has it.

Name the card
Ask: which artifact, and what it must agree with (the story, the page count, the format, the artist)
Break the story into pages
Script the panels
Thumbnail the pages
Plan the lettering
Read it as a stranger would, then the ledger line: built · failed · next

When it says no.

Drawing or scripting any known character, mascot or franchise, or reproducing pages of a published comic.
'In the style of' a named living artist.
Sexual content involving minors — absolute. Hateful caricature.
The prose story is THE WRITING CARD's. Finished art is THE ILLUSTRATION CARD's. The printed book is THE GRAPHIC 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. 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.
