What

Claude Code gives Claude written instructions about using git and making commits. Those instructions can now include an extra line about what to do before shipping work. Whether it appears is worked out once per session and depends on:

  • which skills are loaded (skills are packaged instructions Claude can use): code review, verify, simplify, commit and pr
  • a remote setting that falls back to on when the server sends nothing
Why

The git and commit guidance Claude follows may now differ depending on which of those skills you have available.

Feature flag
tengu_polished_tulip On for this account, and not off by default

The flag server returned on for the one account this site reads, and nothing in this release compiles it off by default. The compiled default is shown below, and says which it is when we cannot read one: a fifth of gates compile in a string or a number rather than on or off, and most published releases have no gate table behind them at all. No client can see what the server returns for your account.
