 ### Final Steps Before Review
 #### Your PR should pass scalafix check (lint) and scalafmt check. 
-- To check lint, under `core` run command `sbt "scalafixAll --check"`; to fix lint issues, run `sbt scalafixAll`.
-- To check format, under `core` run command `sbt scalafmtCheckAll`; to fix format, run `sbt scalafmtAll`. 
+- To check lint, run command `sbt "scalafixAll --check"`; to fix lint issues, run `sbt scalafixAll`.
