Phase 4 of the build interview offers these six presets plus Custom. Each one names your 20- and 30- domains and scaffolds the right sub-folder structure. You can rename any folder before confirming.

Custom
No preset. The build interview asks how you split your life and generates a bespoke folder structure from your answers.
Available as an option in Phase 4 of /ideaverse-os build.
Templates are applied during /ideaverse-os build --phase=domains. Run init first to scaffold the skeleton, then build to pick your template and fill in your identity.
