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…

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

# Identity Approaches for Claude Prompts

> **Calibration:** Tier 1 (Model-compatible) — runs cleanly on the current dual-primary tier (Opus 5.5, Sonnet 5.5) and on Haiku 5.5. Structured retrieval, rule evaluation, or template lookup — output shape does not depend on the model. Fallback-graceful on Opus 5 / Sonnet 5; legacy-graceful on Sonnet 4.6. 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

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add drayline/rootnode-skills/identity-blocks@sha256:f15b3500fc9cf61c

The line at the top of this page pins the label v6.0.0, 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.
