Claude Code Output Styles Optimizer

About

This skill provides essential interpretive guidance for Claude Code's output styles, helping users understand the critical distinction between session-level personas and isolated agent prompts. It offers a decision framework to determine whether a workflow benefits from a custom personality, a CLAUDE.md context file, or specialized sub-agents. By clarifying how styles affect the main session without leaking into delegated tasks, this skill ensures developers maintain an efficient, noise-free environment while leveraging specialized learning and explanatory modes.
