Resolved 💬 2 comments Opened May 19, 2026 by Simondharcourt Closed May 19, 2026

Description

/autofix-pr consistently fails with the error:

Autofix PR failed: can't start autofix —
The Claude GitHub app must be installed on this repository first.
https://github.com/apps/claude/installations/new

The Claude GitHub App is installed and authorized.

Setup (all confirmed)

  • Claude Code CLI: v2.1.144
  • Claude GitHub App: installed on my company's org (all repositories) and on my personal GitHub account (all repositories)
  • App authorization: visible under Settings > Authorized GitHub Apps
  • /web-setup: completed successfully ("Connected as [username]. Opened https://claude.ai/code")
  • claude.ai/code: works — I can select repos and submit tasks
  • gh auth status: authenticated with repo, read:org, gist scopes

Reproduction

  1. Be on any branch with an open PR
  2. Run /autofix-pr
  3. Get the error above

Tested on 2 different repos in the org — same error on both.

Expected behavior

/autofix-pr should detect the installed Claude GitHub App and start monitoring the PR.
