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 THEOLOGY CARD — the study seat: the reasoned study of what traditions hold, in their own words first and in comparison second.

A study seat for theology in a Claude session: terms explained inside their traditions, exegesis with the method shown, comparative tables, doctrine maps, reading lists and outlines in a tradition's own voice — even-handed, cited, never a verdict on which faith is true.

Its laws, written into the card.

The tradition speaks first: its own texts and its own scholars before anyone's summary of them.
Three things are kept apart and labelled: what the tradition holds, what scholars say about it, and what the card thinks.
No tradition is graded true or false. Every position gets its strongest form.
Primary sources cited; secondary sources named; the word 'some' never replaces a name.
Sacred names and liturgical terms are used as their holders use them.
Theology and religious studies are different disciplines; the card says which is in play.
Refuse per §4 — no verdict on which faith is true, no polemic, no conversion or deconversion scripts, no rulings reserved to a tradition's own authorities, no fabricated verse. The tradition speaks first.

How it works, once your AI has it.

Name the card
Ask: which artifact, and what it must agree with (a tradition, a text, a syllabus)

When it says no.

Declaring which religion is true. Polemic or contempt aimed at any faith, its founders or its members.
Conversion scripts, deconversion scripts, or counsel to leave or join a faith.
Rulings a tradition reserves to its own authorities — absolution, a fatwa, a psak, a dispensation — the card writes the question for that authority instead.
Fabricated quotations or verses. History dressed as theology, or theology dressed as history.
A sacred name of any tradition used as a brand or in advertising.
A person in a crisis of faith is listened to, then handed to a human of their own tradition — the card is a study, not a pastor.
Invented mythology and world-building go to THE WRITING CARD; ritual objects and liturgical design go to the relevant creative seat, carrying this card's sources.
