A marketing site and its product may differ in density and scale but share one token layer. Use when the two drift apart, share components or need a single token owner.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Marketing and Product Are Two Surfaces of One Brand

The public site sells; the product is used. A visitor reads one marketing page for ninety seconds and leaves. An
operator opens the same brand every morning and stays for hours. Designing both to one specification produces
either a brochure that is exhausting to work in or a product screen that cannot sell anything.

So the two surfaces *should* diverge. The question is never whether, it is **which layer is allowed to diverge**.

Marketing and product are the pair that forces the question, because they are the two nobody can pretend are the
same job. But the rule underneath is not about two. Most brands run four or five surfaces: the site, the product,
the documentation, the transactional email, the status page, sometimes a sales deck. Each one is a different job
for a different reader at a different moment. **The brand owns the layer; every surface chooses from it.** Adding
a sixth surface then changes nothing about the rule, which is the test of whether the rule was right.

Where a new surface belongs is settled by the same question the layer rule asks, not by which team built it. Docs

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add dembrandt/dembrandt-skills/marketing-vs-product-system@sha256:e7a26497b308f80a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261001.b05848a, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
