Output Styles Documentation
Anthropic's official documentation for output styles — how they modify Claude Code's system prompt, the built-in styles, and how to create custom ones with /output-style:new.
Output styles swap the "software engineering assistant" part of Claude Code's system prompt for behavior you define — turning Claude Code into a teaching assistant, a terse reviewer, or any persona your workflow needs, while keeping all its tools.
The official docs cover the built-in styles (Explanatory, Learning), creating custom styles with /output-style:new, where style files live (~/.claude/output-styles or .claude/output-styles), and how styles differ from CLAUDE.md instructions and --append-system-prompt.
