rootnode-identity-blockslisted

Eight tested identity approaches for Claude prompts, each shaping depth, vocabulary, reasoning style, and what Claude treats as obvious vs. requiring explanation. Use when the user wants a specific identity template — retrieving, reviewing, customizing, or building a role definition. Trigger on: "give me the Strategic Advisor identity," "show me the identity template for," "I need a Technical Architect role," "build a custom role for," "show me all available identities." Also use when reviewing a prompt's identity layer or when output lacks domain-appropriate depth. Provides 8 tested approaches across strategy, technical, research, communications, and operations domains plus a template for building custom identities. If the user is unsure which identity fits their task, use rootnode-block-selection first if available. Do NOT use for evaluating complete prompts — use rootnode-prompt-validation if available. Do NOT use for full prompt assembly — use rootnode-prompt-compilation if available.

# Identity Approaches for Claude Prompts > **Calibration:** Tier 1 (Model-compatible) - runs cleanly on the current dual-primary tier (Opus 5, Sonnet 5) as well as Haiku 4.5 with extended thinking. Structured retrieval, rule evaluation, or template lookup - output shape does not depend on model class. Correct-shape output also on Opus 4.8 (fallback-graceful) and Sonnet 4.6 (legacy-graceful). See repository README for model compatibility. Identity is the first layer of a well-structured Claude prompt. It defines WHO Claude is for a task — shaping the depth of analysis, the vocabulary used, the reasoning style applied, and what Claude treats as obvious versus what requires explanation. A prompt without a clear identity produces generic output. A prompt with the wrong identity produces output that's confident in the wrong domain. Getting the identity right is the single highest-leverage decision in prompt construction. ## When to Use This Skill - You are building a Claude prompt and need to choose or define a role/persona - You have a prompt whose output lacks domain-appropriate depth or vocabulary - You need to decide which expert perspective fits a task - You want to build a custom identity for a specialized domain ## Choosing the Right Identity ### Quick Selection Table | If the task involves... | Use this approach | |---|---| | Business strategy, competitive dynamics, market opportunity, executive decisions | **Strategic Advisor** | | System design, infrastructure, m
