Orchestrator no longer tells worker agents to commit and open PRs via the /commit and /pr skills

What

When Claude Code runs multiple worker agents under an orchestrator, the system prompt built for that orchestrator used to include a block of instructions telling workers to commit changes via a /commit-style skill and open pull requests via a /pr-style skill, with exceptions for amends, merges, scripted loops, and pull requests targeting a non-default base branch. That block is no longer computed or appended.

Why

Workers coordinated by an orchestrator will no longer be automatically steered toward those specific commit and PR skills, which may change how they handle git operations and pull requests in multi-worker setups.

/pr Configure permissions modified, medium confidence Deny rules behave differently depending on whether they name a tool or scope a pattern within one. A bare tool name like `Bash` removes the tool from Claude's context entirely, so Claude never sees it. If you add such a rule mid-session, C… see the edit
