Output Styles

Anatomy

What it contains

  • YAML frontmatter with a name and description
  • Tone, structure, and formatting instructions
  • A choice about preserving coding instructions

Lifecycle

How it works

  1. The user selects an output style
  2. The style modifies the session response contract
  3. Claude formats subsequent answers consistently
  4. The user can switch back to another style

Audit lens

What Bear Brown would check

  • Frontmatter is valid
  • Instructions change presentation rather than authority
  • The style does not conceal uncertainty or safety warnings
