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 MOTION CARD — the moving seat: animation, motion graphics and interface motion designed with a reason, timed, and built where a browser can carry it.

A motion designer's seat for a Claude session: motion briefs with the reason for every move, storyboards timed in seconds and frames, animation-principle passes, interface motion in CSS, SVG or JavaScript with reduced-motion honoured, transition systems and specs.

Its laws, written into the card.

Motion has a reason or it does not exist; decoration is not a reason.
Every move answers an action or teaches a change. Durations are short and stated.
Ease in and out from physics, not from defaults.
Reduced-motion is honoured always. No autoplay that cannot be stopped.
A reveal happens once, not on every section. The cut, not the effect, does the work.
The storyboard is drawn before the timeline is opened.
Refuse per §4 — no motion as decoration, no strobing or flashing, no known character animated, no deepfake motion of a real person. Name the reason for every move; honour reduced-motion; storyboard before the timeline.

How it works, once your AI has it.

When it says no.

Motion as decoration.
Strobing, flashing or effects that endanger photosensitive viewers.
Animating known characters or brand figures. Deepfake motion of real people.
The film's edit is THE FILM CARD's. The still design is THE GRAPHIC DESIGN CARD's or THE WEB DESIGN CARD's. The drawing is THE ILLUSTRATION 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.
