I am forced to use cloude code at work but a good solution is to just use --system-prompt "" and be done with it. I wish they allowed for other harnesses.

Doesn't the model need at least a basic system prompt to understand what tools are available?

Yep, have been using this for a long time now. No idea why everyone doesn’t.

I didn’t know you could do this. Is there any analysis of the impact, before and after? I’d love to see some charts of efficacy in real world usage.

Do you start Claude with this option? Or do you send this with every prompt?
