# SYS-013 Template Override via CLI
## Statement
The tool shall allow users to override template content using the `-t` (title) and `-b` (body) CLI flags, which take precedence over template files.
## Implementation Notes
- Flags: `-t/--title <TITLE>` and `-b/--body <BODY>`
- If either flag provided, template is completely ignored
- Title flag formats content as markdown heading: `# {title}`
- Body flag uses raw content
- Both flags can be combined: `# {title}\n\n{body}`
- Empty content check occurs before template lookup
## Verification
- `req add USR -t "Title"` uses CLI title, ignores template
- `req add USR -b "Body"` uses CLI body, ignores template
- `req add USR -t "Title" -b "Body"` uses both CLI values, ignores template
- `req add USR` with no flags uses template (if exists)
- CLI override works even when template file exists
