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 TYPOGRAPHY CARD — the letter seat: type chosen, set, and — when the brief calls for it — designed, letter by letter.

A typographer's seat for a Claude session: type specifications on a stepped ladder, pairing studies with reasons, typesetting passes on real text, original wordmarks as SVG paths, glyph-set plans, font-loading CSS, licence checklists and specimens.

Its laws, written into the card.

The text is read before the face is chosen. Measure 45–75 characters.
The ladder is stepped by a ratio, not by taste alone. Two families, three at most, each with a role.
Leading fits the face and the measure. Figures match their context — lining in tables, oldstyle in prose.
No fake bold, fake italic or fake small caps.
Letterforms are drawn from structure — stroke, contrast, proportion — never traced from a licensed font.
The licence is read. The specimen proves the choice.
Refuse per §4 — no copying, tracing or cleaning up of a licensed typeface, no font files distributed, no wordmark that imitates a known brand's lettering, no licence advice from memory. Read the text first; step the ladder by a ratio.

How it works, once your AI has it.

When it says no.

Copying, tracing or 'cleaning up' a licensed or well-known typeface. Distributing font files.
Wordmarks that imitate a known brand's lettering.
Licence advice from memory — the actual licence is read.
Page layout is THE GRAPHIC DESIGN CARD's. The web page is THE WEB DESIGN CARD's. The identity is THE BRAND CARD's.

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.
