THE PROOF · EVERY CARD, RUN BEFORE IT SELLS
Every card on the shelf, checked by a machine.
On Oct 5 2026 the studio ran THE VALIDATION CARD over every AI skill card packet it sells — 594 of them — with THE BATCH CARD. A card is not read and trusted: its machine is run, its files are counted against its list, its claims are checked against what is inside.
What the marks mean
- PROVEN — the card passed every check the machine runs, on that date. It appears on the card’s tile, its row on the shelf and its own page.
- No mark — the card works but is not ready to sell yet: an app not yet sealed inside it, or a seat waiting on its contents. It gets its mark when it passes.
Check a card now, right here
Drop any card bought here. Your browser opens it, fingerprints its SKILL.md with SHA-256 and checks it against the studio’s register of all cards. Nothing is uploaded; nothing leaves this page.
Check a card by hand
Every card carries a punch: the first 24 characters of the SHA-256 of its SKILL.md, printed on its face and its page. Unzip the card and run:
shasum -a 256 SKILL.md
The first 24 characters must match the punch. If one character differs, the card is not the one the studio cut.
What is checked
- The machine runs, its self-test passes, and it meets bad input with a message, not a crash.
- Every file the card lists is in the box, at the size and fingerprint it lists.
- What the card claims is in the box is in the box.
- The thing sold is inside it — never an empty slot.
THE VALIDATION CARD and THE BATCH CARD are on the shelf too, for anyone who sells cards of their own. THE VALIDATION CARD →
