A small collection of [output styles](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/output-styles) for Claude Code that change how it *talks to you*, not how it codes. Answer-first, plain English, easy to skim. Each one is a single markdown file you drop in and switch on.

The concise-by-default rules are kind to your attention first. Trimming Claude's output is a welcome side effect, not the point.
