OUTPUT STYLES · USERLAND · Claude Code OS

Custom output styles: terse engineer, friendly tutor, editorial blueprint, brutally honest.

It becomes a personality preset. Useful when the same agent serves different cases (debugging demands directness, pair programming demands dialogue).

Combines with slashes: each skill can ship with its own output style built in.
