Problem Statement
outputStyle can be set in user, project, or managed settings, but there's no env-var override — same gap as permissions.defaultMode.
Proposed Solution
Add CLAUDE_CODE_OUTPUT_STYLE env var, mirroring CLAUDE_CODE_EFFORT_LEVEL's precedence and semantics.
Alternative Solutions
/output-styleper session- Editing user settings directly
Priority
Low - Nice to have
Feature Category
Configuration and settings
Use Case Example
Per-machine output-style personalization (e.g., terse on laptop, verbose on workstation) without modifying shared project or managed settings.
