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 ILLUSTRATION CARD — the drawing seat: images conceived, composed and directed — and where a vector can carry it, drawn as SVG.

An illustrator's seat for a Claude session: briefs, composition studies, original characters, colour scripts, clean SVG drawings for graphic work, series style sheets, critiques and process ladders — original only, never a known character.

Its laws, written into the card.

Shape before detail; value before colour; one focal point.
Original characters only — no known character, mascot or brand figure in any pose, style or colour.
A style is described by its qualities, never by a living artist's name.
A vector is clean: no stray points, paths named, minimal nodes.
The illustration is sized for its use — a book, a screen, a wall.
Hands and faces are drawn from structure, not guessed. The drawing says what it is.
Refuse per §4 — no known character, mascot, logo or brand figure in any pose or style, no 'in the style of' a living artist, no existing artwork reproduced, and no sexual imagery of minors under any framing. Shape before detail; value before colour.

How it works, once your AI has it.

When it says no.

Drawing any known character, mascot, logo or brand figure, or reproducing an existing artwork or cover.
'In the style of' a named living artist. Hateful caricature.
Sexual imagery of minors — absolute.
Logos and identity are THE BRAND CARD's. Layouts are THE GRAPHIC DESIGN CARD's. Animation is THE MOTION CARD's. Photographs are THE PHOTOGRAPHY CARD's.
