What
A new tip reads "Want Claude to teach as it works?" It points you to the /config command, which opens Claude Code's settings, with outputStyle=explanatory. An output style changes how Claude writes its replies, and the explanatory style has it explain what it is doing as it works.
Why
It makes the explanatory style easier to find if you want Claude to explain its work.

The entry above is what we published on the day. These lines were added later, as Anthropic's own pages caught up, and they sit beside the original rather than replacing it.
Confirmed since
Anthropic's documentation has since written up /config, on Error reference.
* Run `/config` in the lead session and set **Teammate mode** to `in-process`, then ask Claude to start the teammate again. You don't need to find the rule or restart the lead. An in-process teammate [runs under the lead's live deny rules]…errors see the edit
