Add output styles prompts
Author: richardkmichaelCreated Aug 1, 2026Updated Aug 15, 2026
It would be helpful if the prompts for the built-in Proactive, Explanatory and Learning output styles were included here. Also, The "learning mode" prompt seems mislabelled, I believe that's a concept in "Claude for Education" (a service level), not Claude Code.
I extracted them and compared with the repo structure. Claude suggested these changes:
| File | Content | Action |
|---|---|---|
system-prompt-output-style-proactive.md |
intro + # Proactive Style Active + the numbered The user chose continuous, autonomous execution block, inline |
new |
system-prompt-output-style-explanatory.md |
intro + # Explanatory Style Active + ${INSIGHTS_INSTRUCTIONS} |
new |
system-prompt-output-style-learning.md |
intro + Learn-by-Doing body + ## Insights + ${INSIGHTS_INSTRUCTIONS} |
rename of system-prompt-learning-mode.md |
system-prompt-output-style-insights-fragment.md |
the ## Insights block — interpolated by both Explanatory and Learning |
rename of system-prompt-learning-mode-insights.md |
system-prompt-output-style-injection-wrapper.md |
# Output Style: ${OUTPUT_STYLE_NAME} + ${OUTPUT_STYLE_PROMPT} |
new |
system-reminder-output-style-active.md |
add the one Proactive turn-reminder sentence; no other built-in defines one |
amend |
system-prompt-auto-mode.md |
the numbered block alone — auto mode's reminder body at 2.1.139, the Proactive body at 2.1.220 | delete once inlined above |
Already exist and correct at 2.1.220 — leave alone:
| File | Holds at 2.1.220 |
|---|---|
system-reminder-auto-mode-clarification-bias.md |
## ${AUTO_MODE_HEADING} + bias-against-clarifying-questions + git-safety paragraphs |
system-reminder-auto-mode-consent-flow.md |
the consent appendix appended when autoModeConsentFlow is set |
system-prompt-autonomous-operation-guidelines.md |
You are operating autonomously. The user is not watching… — the autonomy_append prompt section |
system-prompt-interactive-agent-intro-output-style-conditional.md |
the intro line that branches on whether a style is configured |
