CLAUDE CODE 2.1.215 SHIPS WITH SKILL BEHAVIOR CHANGES

By RepoJournal · Filed · About Anthropic · Composed from the cited sources · methodology

Claude Code no longer auto-invokes verify and code-review skills - you now call them explicitly when needed.

The Claude Code v2.1.215 release [1] marks a shift in how the agent handles code validation. Previously, Claude would run /verify and /code-review automatically; now these are opt-in via explicit commands. This change propagates across the entire agent ecosystem. The TypeScript SDK pushed v0.3.215 [2] to maintain parity with Claude Code, while the Python SDK [3] bundled the updated CLI at v2.1.215. Both the code-action [4] and code-base-action [5] repositories synced the changes immediately. If you're running Claude Code in CI/CD pipelines or automated workflows, this is a breaking change that requires explicit skill invocation.
