What's Wrong?
Body to paste:
## Summary
/ultrareview is unusable for me on a private monorepo on the Claude Max plan. Both invocation modes fail and there's no UI path I can find to fix the underlying GitHub authorization.
## Environment
- CLI version: 2.1.126
- Plan: Claude Max
- OS: macOS (Darwin 25.4.0)
- Repo: private monorepo, ~21K LoC diff in current PR
- Branch:
feat/react-19-next-16-migration→main(PR exists, OPEN)
## Repro
/ultrareview <PR#>→Ultrareview could not start the remote session: GitHub repository access check failed — re-authorize GitHub in settings/ultrareview(no arg) →Repo is too large. Push a PR and use /ultrareview <PR#> instead.
So the only viable mode (PR mode) is blocked by the auth error, and the suggested fallback (no-arg mode) is blocked by repo size. There is no working path.
## What I tried
claude auth logout+claude auth login(fresh session) — no change- Settings → Connectors → GitHub Integration: shows "Connected" — no change
- Settings → Claude Code → enabled "Create pull requests automatically" toggle — no change
- claude.ai/code: cloud environment shows the repo correctly attached (checkmark in repo picker) — but CLI still fails
- Settings → Claude Code → Authorization tokens: ALL tokens have only
user:*scopes (file_upload, inference,
mcp_servers, profile, sessions:claude_code). No repo or github scope on any token. No "Connect GitHub for Claude Code" UI surfaced anywhere.
## Hypothesis
/ultrareview PR-mode needs a GitHub-scoped token attached to my Claude account, but no UI path exists to grant it.
The "GitHub Integration" connector under Settings → Connectors appears to be for chat sessions only and doesn't grant the scope /ultrareview needs.
## Ask
Either expose the GitHub-scope grant UI (Settings → Claude Code section), or have /ultrareview trigger the OAuth flow directly when the auth check fails.
