Output styles

Claude Code's output styles modify the system prompt to transform Claude into different types of agents while preserving core capabilities like script execution and file handling. Three built-in styles exist: Default (software engineering tasks), Explanatory (educational insights during coding), and Learning (collaborative mode with human code contributions). Custom output styles can be created as Markdown files with frontmatter metadata and saved at user or project level, with options to retain or exclude coding-specific instructions.
