marketing-vs-product-system skillA

marketing-vs-product-system is agent-read markdown (skill) from dembrandt/dembrandt-skills: A marketing site and the product it sells share a brand but not a design system. The surfaces differ in density, type scale, radius and weight for good reasons, and those differences are legitimate, but the token layer underneath them must stay single. The same rule covers the other surfaces a brand runs, including documentation, transactional email and a status page. Use when a product app and its public site drift apart, when deciding which values may differ between surfaces, when a signed-in .

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns 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
