What's Wrong?
❯ /ultraplan try plan
◇ ultraplan
⎿ Starting Claude Code on the web…
❯ ultraplan: cannot launch remote session —
The Claude GitHub app must be installed on this repository first.
https://github.com/apps/claude/installations/new
● This is definitely a bug on Ultraplan's side — the app is correctly installed. I'd suggest filing an issue at https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues so the team can investigate.
Want to skip Ultraplan and just start building the service here? We have everything we need from the handout.
What Should Happen?
i am not sure, i guess ultraplan needs to start

● Still the same error — the app install likely didn't take. A few things to check:
1. Go to https://github.com/settings/installations and confirm the Claude app appears there
2. If it does, click Configure and make sure drvodom-ai-ocr is in the list of selected repositories
3. If it doesn't appear at all, try the install link again: https://github.com/apps/claude/installations/new
What do you see at that settings page?
✻ Cogitated for 4s
❯ it's installed, and it has myrepo repo
● Try running /ultraplan try plan once more — there can be a short propagation delay after app installation. If it still fails, it may be worth checking https://github.com/sturlan/drvodom-ai-ocr is accessible (not empty, has at least
one commit) — which it is — so it should work now.

The Claude GitHub app must be installed on this repository first.
https://github.com/apps/claude/installations/new
● This looks like a bug — the app is installed and the repo is accessible, but Ultraplan isn't picking it up. I'd suggest reporting it at https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues with these details:
- Repo: sturlan/myrepo
- App installed: yes (visible at github.com/settings/installations)
- Error: "Claude GitHub app must be installed on this repository first"
