731
+ ## Template Customization Guide
732
+
733
+ ### Step 1: Choose Base Tier
734
+ Determine complexity based on task requirements and trigger keywords.
735
+
736
+ ### Step 2: Fill Placeholders
737
+ Replace `{PLACEHOLDER}` values with specific content for your agent/command.
738
+
739
+ ### Step 3: Remove Unused Sections
740
+ Delete optional sections that don't apply to your use case.
741
+
742
+ ### Step 4: Verify Token Budget
743
+ Use token counter to ensure you're within tier limits:
744
+ - Minimal: 400-600 tokens
745
+ - Standard: 1800-2200 tokens
746
+ - Professional: 4500-5500 tokens
747
+ - Enterprise: 9000-12000 tokens
748
+
749
+ ### Step 5: Test and Iterate
750
+ Deploy prompt, measure effectiveness, refine based on results.

754
+ ## Priority Markers Reference
755
+
756
+ Use these consistently across all tiers:
757
+
758
+ | Marker | Meaning | Usage |
759
+ |--------|---------|-------|
760
+ | **CRITICAL** | Absolute requirement, never violate | Safety, security, data integrity |
761
+ | **MANDATORY** | Required behavior, no exceptions | Core functionality, essential patterns |
762
+ | **PRIORITY** | High importance, takes precedence | Important workflows, key decisions |
763
+ | **IMPORTANT** | Significant, consider carefully | Best practices, optimizations |
764
+ | **NOTE** | Helpful context, informational | Background info, tips |
765
+

+ ## Quick Reference: Layer Token Allocation
769

770
+ Based on Claude 4 analysis:
771
+
772
+ | Layer | Minimal | Standard | Professional | Enterprise |
773
+ |-------|---------|----------|--------------|------------|
774
+ | 1. Identity | 50-100 | 100-150 | 150-200 | 200-300 |
775
+ | 2. Behavioral | 150-200 | 300-400 | 500-700 | 700-1000 |
776
+ | 3. Standards | 100-150 | 300-400 | 400-600 | 600-800 |
777
+ | 4. Domain | - | 800-1000 | 1500-2000 | 2000-3000 |
778
+ | 5. Cross-Cutting | - | - | 1500-2000 | 2000-3000 |
779
+ | 6. Reference | - | - | - | 4000-5000 |
780
+ | 7. User Input | 100-150 | 200-300 | 300-400 | 400-500 |
781
+ | **Total** | **500** | **2000** | **5000** | **10000** |
