Problem Statement
From my understanding when you activate Plan mode it loads the built-in Plan mode system prompt. Just as one can override the default system prompt (with claude --system-prompt-file system.md). One might want to override such built-in system prompts (e.g. to disable the built-in Plan subagent that keeps wasting tokens).
Proposed Solution
claude --plan-system-prompt-file plan.md
Alternative Solutions
Just found an alternative, tweakcc allows replacing all Claude Code system prompts:
Priority
Medium - Would be very helpful
Feature Category
CLI commands and flags
Use Case Example
To disable the built-in Plan subagent that keeps wasting tokens when in Plan mode.
