What's Wrong?
/ultrareview has crashed on 4 of my last 5 invocations, including the 2 most recent. Each crashed run was billed but did not return a completed review.
The command appears to be broken right now.
Environment
- Tool: Claude Code CLI
- Command: /ultrareview (no-arg form, reviewing local branch)
- Platform: macOS (Darwin 25.3.0), zsh
- Model: Claude Opus 4.7
- Date observed: 2026-05-17 (most recent failures), plus several attempts in the prior days
Reproduction
- From a git repo with a feature branch checked out, run /ultrareview with no arguments
- Wait for the remote review to spin up
- Run crashes before returning a completed review
In my case the crash happens after the "Remote review completed" status appears, so the failure looks like it's late in the pipeline (post-review,
possibly during result delivery / aggregation) rather than at dispatch.
Expected behavior
/ultrareview returns a completed multi-agent review of the current branch, OR fails before billing if the service is unavailable.
Actual behavior
Run is billed, then crashes without delivering a usable review. Repeated retries hit the same failure.
Impact
- 4 of 5 recent runs failed
- Both most recent paid attempts crashed
- Filing a separate refund request via Anthropic support for the failed charges
What Should Happen?
Expected: /ultrareview returns a completed review of the branch.
Actual: Run is billed, then crashes without returning a review. 4 of 5 recent attempts failed.
