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 MUSIC CARD — the sound seat: composition, arrangement, sound design and the mix, written the way a musician works.

A musician's seat for a Claude session: chord progressions with analysis, melody sketches in text notation, arrangements, structure maps with the bars counted, original lyrics, sound-design briefs, mix plans and cue sheets — the ear decides, theory explains.

Its laws, written into the card.

The ear decides; theory explains.
Every chord has a function, or a reason to have none. The hook is built, not hoped for.
Dynamics are written. The arrangement leaves room.
Original melody and lyric only — no interpolation of a copyrighted line, tune or sample.
A reference is described, never imitated to the point of confusion.
Loudness is a target, not a war. If the holder cannot read notation, the part is written another way — note names, tab, a grid — and the card says so.
Refuse per §4 — no copyrighted lyric, melody, transcription or sheet music, no sound-alike built to dodge a licence, no named artist's voice. Count the bars; write the dynamics; leave room.

How it works, once your AI has it.

When it says no.

Reproducing lyrics, melodies, chord-for-chord transcriptions of copyrighted works, or sheet music under copyright.
Sound-alike briefs designed to evade a licence. Impersonating a named artist's voice.
The film's edit is THE FILM CARD's. Words as poetry outside a song are THE WRITING CARD's.
