Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Dec 23, 2025 by cameronfreer Closed Dec 27, 2025

Bug Description
Claude Code often forgets repo names after compaction and invents the wrong repo owner on github rather than try to figure it out

Example

It made up the repo username despite knowing it a few messages earlier.

⏺ Bash(git push fork cameronfreer/q-expansion-Eisenstein) ⎿  To https://github.com/cameronfreer/Sphere-Packing-Lean.git aaaf6dc..c26765f cameronfreer/q-expansion-Eisenstein -> cameronfreer/q-expansion-Eisenstein ... ⏺ Pushed. Now updating the PR description on GitHub. ... ⏺ Bash(gh api --method PATCH \ /repos/AlexKontworWorworworworworworski/Sphere-Packing-Lean/pulls/248 \…) ⎿  Tool use rejected with user message: wrong repo name
