Add positioning doc: free generative core, paid variant pack - #69
Merged
Conversation
Resolves #51's business-fork decision. The core engine (palette generator, structure/diversification, narrative arc, anti-slop gates, verbs) stays free and MIT; specialized aesthetic variants (brutalist/minimalist/soft-calm) become the paid "tastemaker pro" differentiator, built as a thin mode-override layer on the shared engine rather than taste-skill's flat per-variant file duplication. Also resolves the #50 restructuring question this issue was blocking: no multi-skill public repo layout needed, since paid variants don't ship through the public npx-installable path at all.

…elog current (#71) Resolves #53. Added version: 1.0.0 to SKILL.md's frontmatter — a real, considered call: the generative core (palette gen, structure/diversification, gates, verbs) has been exercised across many real builds, not just written and left untested, which is past a 0.x designation honestly. The site changelog (site/changelog.html) was 12 merged PRs behind (#47, #48, #57, #58, #59, #64-67, #69-70 were missing) — backfilled those before generating the root file from it, so the two don't start out already drifted. CHANGELOG.md is a condensed summary pointing to the site as the canonical, PR-linked detailed record, per the issue's second option. Also fixes a real, already-merged bug: the marketing site's actual live domain is tastemaker-ai-skill.netlify.app, not tastemaker-skill.online — the wrong domain had been used in #70's sponsor-pitch.md draft; corrected here before it's used for real outreach.

Summary
Records the business decision requested in #51: the generative engine (palette generator, structure/diversification, narrative arc, anti-slop gates, verbs) stays free and MIT. Specialized aesthetic variants (brutalist/minimalist/soft-calm) become the paid "tastemaker pro" differentiator, built as a thin mode-override layer on the shared engine — not taste-skill's flat per-variant file duplication.
Also resolves the #50 restructuring question this issue was blocking on: no multi-skill public repo layout needed, since paid variants won't ship through the public npx-installable path.
Closes #51
