Today we're launching new ways to learn in Claude Code and the Claude app.
First up: Claude Code now lets you customize communication styles with /output-style
We're introducing two output styles to help students and developers build skills:
- Explanatory: Claude explains its reasoning step-by-step
- Learning: You take turns coding with Claude
Use 'Explanatory' for Claude to go deeper on what it's doing and why—it shares the reasoning behind architectural decisions, explains tradeoffs, and teaches you best practices as it codes.
Use 'Learning' for Claude to occasionally pause and ask you to code some of the to-do tasks. It's like pair programming with a mentor that helps you learn while getting real work done.

And for all app users: We're bringing our 'Learning' style (first introduced in Claude for Education) to everyone. Select the 'Learning' style in any chat to have Claude guide you through hard concepts rather than providing immediate answers.
