# Generating Output Styles Creates custom output styles for Claude Code following Anthropic's standards and best practices. ## Context Output styles modify Claude Code's system prompt to adapt its behavior beyond software engineering. They directly affect the main agent loop and control response tone, structure, and approach. **Key capabilities:** - Generate valid output style markdown files with frontmatter - Apply proper naming and description standards - Structure instructions following progressive disclosure - Configure keep-coding-instructions appropriately - Place files in correct locations (user vs project level) ## Workflow ### Phase 1: Gather Requirements 1. Determine the output style purpose and target behavior 2. Identify if coding instructions should be retained 3. Choose placement: `~/.claude/output-styles/` (user) or `.claude/output-styles/` (project) 4. Reference output style documentation at `.claude/skills/output-style/references/output-style-docs.md` ### Phase 2: Create Output Style File 1. **Craft frontmatter:** - `name`: Clear, descriptive name (shown in UI) - `description`: Brief explanation for users - `keep-coding-instructions`: true/false (default: false) 2. **Write system prompt modifications:** - Start with role definition - Define specific behaviors and approaches - Include formatting guidelines - Add any special instructions or constraints - Keep instructions concise and actionable 3. **Structure content:** - U
