[FEATURE] Add a --append-system-prompt-file <path> argument
Resolved 💬 13 comments Opened Aug 20, 2025 by grantcarthew Closed Feb 27, 2026
I'm currently using:
claude --append-system-prompt "$(cat ROLE.md)" --permission-mode acceptEdits "Read the @SPEC.md file and start implementing the solution"
My role file is typically 30 to 200 lines of content.
The above command works but is not ideal. This is a feature request.
By adding a --append-system-prompt-file <path> argument, the command would become:
claude --append-system-prompt-file ROLE.md --permission-mode acceptEdits "Read the @SPEC.md file and start implementing the solution"This issue has 13 comments on GitHub. Read the full discussion on GitHub ↗
