Issue Description
When asked to create GitHub issues, Claude Code sometimes incorrectly defaults to creating issues in anthropics/claude-code repository instead of the repository in the current working directory.
Expected Behavior
Claude Code should:
- Detect the current working directory's git repository
- Use the detected repository for issue creation
- Only use
anthropics/claude-codefor issues specifically about Claude Code itself
Actual Behavior
Claude Code may create issues in anthropics/claude-code even when working in a different repository context.
Suggested Fix
- Add validation to check current git repository before creating issues
- Prompt for confirmation if attempting to create issues outside the current repo
- Default to the repository in the current working directory
Impact
This can lead to issues being created in the wrong repository, requiring manual cleanup and migration.
