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.

SORT — `python3 scripts/fresh.py triage "statement" ...` before saying anything that might have moved.
SEARCH — for every SEARCH FIRST, look it up now, at the source.
STAMP — `python3 scripts/fresh.py stamp "the fact" --source URL --read YYYY-MM-DD`.
SAY IT DATED — "as of [date], per [source]".
RE-READ — `python3 scripts/fresh.py stale --days 30` and look those up again before using them.
LEDGER — write the ledger line.

What it is.

A seat that knows an AI's knowledge has a cutoff: what can change is searched, and what is found is stamped with its source and date.

Sorts statements by how fast they go stale, keeps facts with where and when they were read, and lists the ones gone old.

Its laws, written into the card.

A model's knowledge stops at its cutoff and it does not feel the stop. Anything that can change since then is searched before it is said.
What can change: prices and plans, versions and releases, apps and features, who holds a role, laws and tax, and anything said with now, latest, current or still.
Every fact that was looked up keeps its source address and the date it was read.
A fact read long ago is read again before it is relied on.
When sources disagree, say so; do not pick the one you like.
When in doubt, search. The sort is a rule of thumb, and a missed fact costs more than a search.

How it works, once your AI has it.

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 →
