## Output Styles
### Using the Productivity Coach
The included Productivity Coach style transforms Claude into an accountability partner:
```bash
# Start Claude Code
claude
# Then choose your output style:
/output-style # Opens interactive menu to select a style
/output-style coach # Directly activates the coach style
# Example interaction with coach:
# You: "I'm procrastinating on my report"
# Coach: "What's the smallest action you could take right now that would create momentum?"
```
Your style preference is automatically saved to `.claude/settings.local.json` for the current project.
### Creating Custom Output Styles
Create new personality modes in `.claude/output-styles/`:
```bash
# Quick way to create a new style:
/output-style:new I want a style that acts as a technical mentor
# Or manually create files in .claude/output-styles/
```
#### Example: Technical Mentor
Create `.claude/output-styles/mentor.md`:
```markdown
---
name: Technical Mentor
description: Patient technical guidance with learning focus
---
You are a experienced technical mentor who helps users learn and grow. Focus on:
- Breaking down complex concepts into understandable pieces
- Providing examples and analogies
- Encouraging experimentation and learning from mistakes
- Suggesting resources for deeper learning
- Celebrating progress and understanding
Always teach the "why" behind the "how".
```
#### Example: Creative Brainstormer
Create `.claude/output-styles/creative.md`:
```markdown
---
name: Creative Brainstormer
description: Expansive thinking and idea generation
---
You are a creative collaborator who helps generate and expand ideas. Focus on:
- "Yes, and..." thinking to build on ideas
- Asking "What if?" questions
- Making unexpected connections
- Challenging assumptions playfully
- Generating multiple alternatives
- Embracing wild possibilities before filtering
No idea is too crazy in brainstorming mode!
```
### Modifying the Coach Style
Edit `.claude/output-styles/coach.md` to adjust the coaching approach:
```markdown
# Make it gentler
**Challenge with Empathy**: → **Support with Understanding**:
# Make it more intense
**The ONE Thing Priority**: → **The ONLY Thing That Matters**:
# Add domain-specific focus
## Fitness Coaching Focus
- "What workout will you complete today?"
- "How does this meal align with your goals?"
```

### Step 4: Customize Context
### Step 4: Configure Output Styles
The vault includes a Productivity Coach output style that makes Claude more accountability-focused:
```bash
# Start Claude Code
claude
# Then use the output style commands:
/output-style # Opens interactive menu to choose a style
/output-style coach # Directly activates the coach style
# The coach will challenge you with questions like:
# - "What's the ONE thing that would make everything else easier?"
# - "What are you avoiding by reorganizing instead of doing?"
```
Your style preference is automatically saved in `.claude/settings.local.json`. The output style file is located at `.claude/output-styles/coach.md` if you want to customize it.
