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.
Stillpoint, the studio’s eye-strain reading format, as a card any developer can apply to any site: six colours — a walnut ground, never black; cream ink, never white; an amber touch, never blue — the numbers (17px, line-height 1.8, a 38em measure, φ paragraph spacing, 44px targets), a DAY · STILL · NIGHT reading control, and a warm veil that follows the hour. stillpoint.py applies the stylesheet and the control to any HTML file in one command, prints the stylesheet for any stack, and audits a page against the six laws — no pure black, no pure white, contrast 7:1 or better, a 45–75 character measure, line-height 1.6 or better, no blue links on dark — naming every fault. This site’s own STILL mode is this card, applied.
The six colours and the numbers are the format; a page that changes them is not Stillpoint, and the audit says so. A contrast is never rounded up. The audit reads stylesheets and inline styles; colours that arrive by script are audited by what the script leaves on the page. The Divinity Rule is not in this packet; the constants here are the format’s own.

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 is in this card’s box. 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.
