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.

A seat that profiles a dataset before an AI learns from it or answers from it — what is in it, what is private, what is broken — and asks what only a person can answer.

Counts rows and columns, guesses each column's type, counts blanks, distinct values and duplicates, flags private-looking columns, and writes a datasheet with the human questions.

Its laws, written into the card.

Profile every dataset before it is used: what is in it, what is missing, what repeats.
Private-looking columns are flagged and never shown as examples; each needs a reason to stay, or is removed or masked.
Four questions are answered by a person before use: where it came from, whether the people in it agreed, what it is for and must never be for, and who is missing from it.
The datasheet travels with the dataset.

How it works, once your AI has it.

ON EVERY DOOR · A CARD FOR YOUR AI, A FILE FOR YOUR COMPUTER

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 →

Nº 786 PROPOSED · ONE PAYMENT

Sold as is under the term printed. A card instructs an AI you operate; results depend on your model, your files and your judgement. Not legal, tax, medical or financial advice. The terms →

ONE PAYMENT · NOTHING RENEWS ITSELF

OFFLINE · ONE LICENCE · PUNCH-CHECKABLE · THE STANDARD

One payment. The file is yours to keep and keeps working at its edition; new editions issued in the year after you buy reach you by email as replacement files. Tax is added at checkout where it applies. Nothing auto-renews.

ONE PAYMENT — NOTHING RENEWS ITSELF. CHECKOUT IS SHOPIFY’S OWN; YOUR CARD COMES BY EMAIL AFTER IT.
