 ## System prompt
 
-Deep Agents ship with a built-in base system prompt that teaches the agent how to use the harness scaffolding (planning, filesystem tools, subagents). Pass `system_prompt=` to prepend your own instructions before that base prompt:

-`SystemPromptConfig` requires `deepagents>=0.7.0a6`.

-For full control over prompt assembly, pass a @[`SystemPromptConfig`] dict with `prefix`, `base`, and `suffix` keys:
-
-- **`prefix`**: text placed before the base prompt (same as passing a bare string).
-- **`base`**: replaces the built-in base prompt. Omit the key to keep the built-in base, or set it to `None` to drop the base entirely.
-- **`suffix`**: text placed after the base prompt.
-
-Parts are assembled in order: `prefix` -> `base` -> `suffix` -> any model-specific [profile](/oss/deepagents/profiles) suffix. Each part accepts a `str` or a `SystemMessage` (to preserve `cache_control` markers for Anthropic prompt caching).

-```python
-# Overwrite the default base prompt:
-create_deep_agent(..., system_prompt={"base": "..."})
-
-# No system prompt except from middleware:
-create_deep_agent(..., system_prompt={"base": None})
-
-# Sandwich the default base prompt:
-create_deep_agent(..., system_prompt={"prefix": "...", "suffix": "..."})
-```
-
-For model-specific system prompt customization, such as replacing the base prompt or appending a suffix for a particular provider, use a [harness profile](/oss/deepagents/profiles#harness-profiles).
