Claude Code Output Styles

A curated collection of custom output styles for Claude Code

Output styles change how Claude Code behaves by modifying its system prompt. They let you adapt Claude Code for different workflows, from adversarial code review to minimalist coding to explaining things like you're five.

Styles

- Breaker: Adversarial tester that tries to break everything you build.
- Challenger: Challenges every decision and stress-tests your designs before you commit.
- Concise: Talks less, gets to the point, no filler in responses.
- Minimal: Writes the least code possible, removes everything unnecessary.
- Opinionated: Has strong opinions about everything in your code.
- Paranoid: Security-obsessed, every input is hostile and every dependency is suspect.
- Performance: Obsessed with speed and efficiency, profiles and benchmarks everything.
- Roast: Brutally honest code critique that drags your code, then helps you fix it.
- Ship It: Aggressively pragmatic, shortest path to working software.
- Simple: Explains everything like you're five, no jargon, all metaphors.
- Socratic: Guides you to the answer through questions instead of giving it directly.
- TDD: Test-driven development, always writes tests first.
- Think Aloud: Reflects your thinking back and helps you debug by talking it out.
