Custom Output Styles Collection for Claude Code
Custom Output Styles for Claude Code
A developer has published a collection of 13 custom output styles for Claude Code, an AI coding assistant. Output styles are a feature that lets you change how Claude Code talks and behaves by modifying its system prompt.
How to Use Output Styles
To use output styles in Claude Code:
- Set an output style through
/config > Output style - Copy a
.mdfile into~/.claude/output-styles/ - Select it from
/config
Available Styles
The collection includes 13 styles. Some highlights:
- Roast: Brutally honest code critique that drags your code, then helps you fix it
- Socratic: Guides you to the answer through questions instead of handing it to you
- Breaker: Adversarial tester that tries to break everything you build
- Ship It: Aggressively pragmatic, shortest path to working software
- Paranoid: Security-obsessed, treats every input as hostile
- TDD: Test-driven development, always writes tests first
Repository and Contributions
The repository is open source and contributions are welcome. The styles are available as .md files that can be dropped directly into the output-styles directory.
