DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

Claude Code v2.1.215

/code-review and /simplify Skip Redundant Model Invocation

The /code-review and /simplify slash commands now carry disableModelInvocation: true in their skill definition. Previously, Claude's main model re-processed the command after the skill loaded, which was redundant because both skills immediately hand off to an embedded multi-agent workflow. With this flag set, the skill executes its own agentic logic directly without an extra round-trip through the main model. Users should notice no behavioral change, but the commands may start slightly faster and consume fewer tokens on the initial dispatch.

Evidence

disableModelInvocation: !0 added to both skill objects (search for "disableModelInvocation" near the /simplify and /code-review command definitions)

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
