The shared purpose

SharetoBoard helps Poppy users move useful material into the place where they develop it. Android is the flagship capture product. Chrome is the browser companion. Chrome Pro adds user-configured Poppy Specialist links. Tentaclaw is the MCP server and first-party skill kit for external agents.

Credential ownership

State-changing behavior

Product manuals must distinguish capture from persistence. Android and Chrome actions are user-triggered. Chrome Pro requires explicit copy and paste; it does not auto-submit. Tentaclaw separates one-time poppy_ask from conversation creation and continuation, with history saving disabled by default unless explicitly requested.

Security controls belong to the component that can enforce them

A skill can tell an agent to resolve an exact board and reject ambiguity. Tentaclaw must enforce configured board/chat allowlists. Chrome copy can explain that a public Specialist link may consume credits; Poppy controls whether that link is public, private, revoked, or available. Android can expose only supported capture types; Poppy controls its board and recorder behavior.

Release evidence stays separate too

An Android AAB, Chrome ZIP, Python wheel, skill directory, and website page need different validation. The ecosystem status page records exact candidate identity, tests, live integrations, package contents, signing or checksums, marketplace assets, and approval separately for each product.
