Output style
A setting that changes the way Claude answers you. For example, in the Learning style it explains what it’s doing and lets you write small pieces of code yourself.
How it appears in the course
You can change what you see on the screen (the status line) and the way Claude talks to you (output styles).
An output style changes Claude’s “way of being”. For example, a learning mode: Claude explains its decisions and leaves you small pieces of code to write, so you learn.
