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.

Pulls every visible line of text out of a page into a numbered deck a client can mark up, then puts the edited lines back exactly where they came from.

Scripts and styles are never copy; a line goes back only where it came from.

Its laws, written into the card.

Scripts and styles are never copy.
A line goes back only where it came from, matched by number and text.
A line the deck no longer contains is left as it was.

How it works, once your AI has it.

NAME — `This is THE COPY DECK CARD.`
ASK — the page.
PULL — every visible line into a numbered deck.
TAKE BACK — the deck with the edits in it.
PUT — each edited line back by number, and count the changes.
