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.
