Claude Code v2.1.215: /verify and /code-review No Longer Automatic

Claude Code v2.1.215 changes how the /verify and /code-review skills behave. Previously, the agent ran these automatically during certain operations. Starting with this release, they no longer run on their own — you must explicitly invoke them with the /verify or /code-review commands.

Key Changes

• Automatic execution removed: Claude will no longer trigger /verify or /code-review unprompted.
• Manual invocation required: Use /verify or /code-review directly in the chat when you want those skills to run.

Impact on Workflow

This change gives you tighter control over when verification and code review happen. If you relied on the automatic behavior, you'll need to add explicit commands to your prompts or scripts. For users who found auto-verification disruptive, this is a welcome reduction in noise.

Updating

If you're on an older version, update Claude Code to v2.1.215 to apply this change. You can check your version and update via your package manager or download from the releases page.
