What's Wrong?

The /feedback command constructs a GitHub issue URL with conversation/feedback data encoded in query parameters. When the conversation context is long, this URL exceeds browser/server URL length limits (typically ~2000-8000 characters depending on browser/server).

Environment:

  • Claude Code version: (run claude --version)
  • OS: macOS Darwin 25.2.0
  • Browser: (your default browser)

What Should Happen?

Expected behavior:
Feedback should be submitted successfully regardless of conversation length.

Suggested fix:
Instead of encoding feedback in URL query parameters, consider:

  1. Using a POST request to a feedback endpoint that then creates the GitHub issue
  2. Opening a blank issue template and copying feedback to clipboard for the user to paste
  3. Truncating the context to fit within URL limits with a note that full context was truncated

Error Messages/Logs

Github server responded with "oops url too long" or something similar.

Steps to Reproduce

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Have a moderately long conversation with Claude Code
  2. Run /feedback
  3. Browser opens GitHub but returns an error about URL being too long
