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 portfolio template system: forty-four concept studies across six categories, each drawn by one of twenty-eight generative field engines, with the AI-native page editor that takes plain language and makes live edits and token exports.

The theme itself goes inside the packet: the portfolio system, the engines and the page editor, from its chats (Jun–Jul 2026). Until it is sealed in, theme/README.md says what goes there; seal.py writes it into the manifest without touching the door, so the punch stays true.

Its laws, written into the card.

Read the source before you change it; never generate what the app already has.
Prove every change by running the app; report what you checked and what you did not.
No key, token or password is ever written into the app or this card.
A card instructs an AI you operate; results depend on your model, your files and your judgement.

How it works, once your AI has it.

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.
