The system prompt used in Claude Code's agent-claude setup has been rewritten. It still opens with \"You are an interactive agent that helps users with software engineering tasks.\"\n\n**Why**\n\nThese are Claude's own instructions, so changing them changes how Claude behaves in that setup.\n\n- Area: System Prompt\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 3\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
