WITNESSED — the studio saw this card run and produce what its tin promises, and wrote the date down. What the marks mean →
What it is.
The second language of the Lund Studio family: twenty-two Phoenician letters as twenty-two operators. A program declares ports, lays routes, hands cargo to ships and drives the sea until every ship lands; every ship carries the purple seal — a checksum written in the letters — and a door refuses a broken one.
Phoenician was written right to left; the language reads left to right like code. The pictures behind the letters are the conventional scholarly readings, and several are debated. Edition 1 models a protocol — it does not implement sockets.
What’s in the buy.
phoenician-core.js + phoenician.js — the interpreter, Node and browser, zero dependencies
Five programs that run — hello, fibonacci, trade, seal, errors
PHOENICIAN-PLAYGROUND.html — the interpreter inside one page; nothing is sent anywhere
PHOENICIAN-CARD.md + SKILL.md — the card for your own Claude
The MCP server and the Worker — so an AI can write and run it
LICENSE + START-HERE — the term, plainly
PROOF · 15 CHECKS BY EXECUTION — A TAMPERED SHIP IS REFUSED AT THE DOOR, THE NEEDLE-EYE HOLDS, THE LEDGER LANDS
ON EVERY DOOR · A CARD FOR YOUR AI, A FILE FOR YOUR COMPUTER
This card is an Agent Skill on the open standard: the same folder loads unmodified in Claude, ChatGPT and Codex, Copilot and VS Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Goose, OpenCode and the rest of the showcase. Its words are Markdown, so any chat with an instructions box holds them, any local model runs them offline, and any MCP client can load them — THE UNIVERSAL CUT: a pasteable system card, the rules-file family, an Ollama Modelfile, an MCP server, all cut from this card’s own SKILL.md by THE CARD FORGE. The universal cut joins this card’s box as its package is re-cut. And card.html — the card as one file for your computer: both faces, the tin, the words, every door; offline, in any browser. The machines aboard run wherever the host can run Python; the words run everywhere. The host marks →
Take it.

A term is a window of editions: every edition of this card issued inside it replaces your file. When the window closes, the file you hold keeps working — freeze, not loss. Nothing auto-renews; come back and take another term when you want the next editions.
