Shop / Prompts & Skills / Craft Fair Shelf Signs from Verified Maker Facts

Shelf signs that say the material, the price — and nothing else

Tiny shelf signs need clear materials and prices — and one accidental claim can turn a price card into a labeling problem. At a market stall the sign is the label: a shopper reads it as fact. The shelf-sign prompt writes each sign from the maker's verified item facts — and its sample output shows two signs that made the cut and two words that did not.

Two signs, taken apart

**READY (two claim words withheld):** Cedar Notes bookmark — "Cedar Notes Bookmark | Paper · cotton tassel | $6". Citrus print card — "Citrus Print Card | Cardstock | $4". **Audit:** each noun, material, and price comes from item facts. Two claim words from the input are NOT printed: "hand-cut" (a handmade-process claim) and "recycled" (a recycled-content claim). The prompt allows such wording on a sign only when the maker provides the wording **and confirms it can be substantiated**; this input lists the words but records no substantiation confirmation

Sample data above is fictional, shown so you can judge the output before buying.

Each sign carries three fields and no more: the item name, its materials, its price. 'Cedar Notes Bookmark | Paper · cotton tassel | $6'. Nothing in either sign goes beyond the item facts the maker supplied — every noun, material and price in the audit traces back to the input.

The words that stayed off the sign

The input also contained two claim words — 'hand-cut', a handmade-process claim, and 'recycled', a recycled-content claim. Neither was printed. The rule is narrow: wording like that reaches a sign only when the maker provides the wording and confirms it can be substantiated. This input listed the words but recorded no substantiation confirmation, so the output withheld both and said so in the audit — two claim words withheld, named, with the reason.

The register behind the stall

Alongside the sign text, the prompt keeps an internal verification register — the record of which facts support which sign — and raises labeling-check questions when they apply. The signs themselves are drafts for the maker's review before anything is printed: a claim caught at the desk costs nothing; the same claim caught on a label at the stall is a different conversation.
