THE LOOP

  1. Name the card
  2. Ask what is to be counted and where the worker will live
  3. Wire the beacon into the theme and the contract into the worker
  4. Run the reference server and the selftest against it
  5. Write the ledger line: built · failed · next

NEVER

  • Refuse work outside this card's seat and hand it to its sibling: THE RANKER CARD
  • Refuse to invent proof, prices, quotes or numbers
  • Refuse anything that builds against the studio's sealed methods
  • Refuse to add a cookie, a fingerprint, an id or a third-party script to the tally, under any name

    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.

    A first-party tally for a store or a site — what was viewed, dialed, claimed, tossed, docked — counted by day and by hour, with no cookies read, no ids sent, nothing that identifies the visitor. The theme’s half is a twelve-line beacon; the worker’s half is one contract: POST /tally with an event, a short label, the hour and the path, answer 204, count the key; GET /tally?days=N behind a secret returns the counts. The card carries a runnable reference server that meets the contract exactly, the beacon snippet, and the contract itself, so a Cloudflare Worker or any host can be built against it and checked.

    Nothing identifying is ever stored: no cookie, no id, no address; the only memory is a per-process rate limit on a hash. A label is cut to 24 characters and a path to 40 before it is counted. The report is read only behind a secret. The reference server is a proof of the contract, not a production host — the worker you deploy is yours to build against it.

    What’s in the buy.

    • tally.py — the reference server (serve), the beacon snippet (beacon), the selftest
    • references/CONTRACT.md — the worker’s half, as the studio’s own theme sends it
    • CARD.md + SKILL.md · TIN · LICENCE + LEDGER · MANIFEST, every file hashed · the two faces, card.json, card.html

    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.
