 # Output styles
 
-> [DEPRECATED] Adapt Claude Code for uses beyond software engineering
-
-<Warning>
-  Output styles are **DEPRECATED.**  On **November 5, 2025** or later, we'll
-  stop supporting the output styles feature. Use `--system-prompt-file`,
-  `--system-prompt`, `--append-system-prompt`, CLAUDE.md, or [plugins](/en/docs/claude-code/plugins) instead.
-  For **Explanatory** output style users, you can reference the ([explanatory-output-style
-  plugin](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/tree/main/plugins/explanatory-output-style)
-  in our public repository.)
-</Warning>
-
-## Deprecation timeline
-
-As of **November 5, 2025**, Claude Code will:
-
-* Stop supporting the output styles feature
-* Remove the `/output-style` command and related functionality
-
-## Alternative for Custom Output Styles
-
-Use `--system-prompt-file` to start a Claude Code session with your own system
-prompt. You can also use `--system-prompt` to pass in a string to use as the system prompt, or
-`--append-system-prompt` to add to the default Claude Code system prompt.
-
-## Alternative for Explanatory Output Style: explanatory-output-style Plugin
-
-Plugins provide more powerful and flexible ways to customize Claude Code's
-behavior. The
-[`explanatory-output-style` plugin](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/tree/main/plugins/explanatory-output-style)
-recreates the deprecated Explanatory output style functionality.
-
-### Example: Explanatory Output Style Plugin
-
-The `explanatory-output-style` plugin uses a SessionStart hook to inject
-additional context that encourages Claude to provide educational insights.
-Here's what it does:
-
-* Provides educational insights about implementation choices
-* Explains codebase patterns and decisions
-* Balances task completion with learning opportunities
-
-### Installing a plugin
-
-To install a plugin like `explanatory-output-style`:
-
-```shell Add the marketplace (if not already added) theme={null}
-/plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-code
-```
-
-```shell Install the plugin theme={null}
-/plugin install explanatory-output-style@claude-code-plugins
-```
-
-```shell Restart Claude Code to activate the plugin theme={null}
-/exit
-```
-
-```shell Disable the plugin theme={null}
-/plugin manage explanatory-output-style@claude-code-plugins
-
-1. Press enter when you see claude-code-marketplace
-2. Press space when you see explanatory-output-style to toggle enabled
-3. Press down to "Apply changes", then press enter
-    You should see "Disabled 1 plugin. Restart Claude Code to apply changes."
-
-/exit
-```
-
-For more details on plugins, see the
-[Plugins documentation](/en/docs/claude-code/plugins).

-* `--append-system-prompt`: Appends text to the end of the default system prompt
-* `--system-prompt`: Replaces the entire default system prompt with custom text

 about when to use the agent.
