Issue
/ultraplan fails to launch a remote session with the error:
ultraplan: cannot launch remote session —
The Claude GitHub app must be installed on this repository first.
https://github.com/apps/claude/installations/new
This error persists even after the Claude GitHub app has been correctly installed on the repository.
Steps taken
- Initialized a git repository locally
- Added a GitHub remote (
git remote add origin https://github.com/ashwinksv/commoners.git) - Committed and pushed files to the remote
- Installed the Claude GitHub app on the
ashwinksv/commonersrepository (via https://github.com/apps/claude/installations/new, selecting only the specific repository) - Verified the app appears under the repository's installations settings
- Retried
/ultraplan <prompt>— same error every time
Expected behaviour
Remote session should launch and return a browser link for web editing.
Actual behaviour
Fails with "Claude GitHub app must be installed" even though it is installed.
Environment
- Platform: Windows 10
- Shell: PowerShell
