4949Claude edits the recorded file only when it steered a run wrong, such as a command that failed or a missing step, so you can commit the file without per-session diffs. Before v2.1.205, the bundled skill told Claude to fold in anything a run learned, which caused frequent merge conflicts.

51### Run your checks before each commit
52 
53When a session starts with a skill named `verify` or `simplify` in place, Claude Code's commit instructions tell Claude to run it right before each commit, except for changes to docs or tests. This requires Claude Code v2.1.286 or later. Claude gets that instruction when these conditions hold at the start of the session:
54 
55* **Location**: the skill loads from the enterprise, personal, project, or additional-directory [location](#where-skills-live), or from a `.claude/commands/` file with that name. The recipe that `/verify` records at your repo root is a project skill, so it counts. The bundled `/verify` and `/simplify`, plugin skills, and skills from your claude.ai account don't count.
56* **Invocation**: Claude can invoke the skill. If you've [stopped Claude from invoking it](#control-who-invokes-a-skill), for example with `disable-model-invocation: true`, Claude doesn't get the instruction.
57* **Git instructions**: you haven't turned off [`includeGitInstructions`](/docs/en/settings-reference#includegitinstructions). Turning it off removes this instruction together with the rest of the built-in commit and PR instructions.

5159### Work on Claude API projects
5260 
5361The bundled `/claude-api` skill loads [Claude API](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/api/overview) and [Managed Agents](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/managed-agents/overview) reference material for your project's language. Claude also activates it automatically when your code imports `anthropic` or `@anthropic-ai/sdk`.
