The system prompt of claude code changes constantly. I use this site to see what has changed between versions: https://cchistory.mariozechner.at/

It is a bit weird why anthropic doesn't make that available more openly. Depending on your preferences there is stuff in the default system prompt that you may want to change.

I personally have a list of phrases that I patch out from the system prompt after each update by running sed on cc's main.js

What are those phrases? Why do you exclude them?
