The user ordered issues to be filed on GitHub and had to repeat the order three times. Each attempt ended in a detour (a different reporting channel, reading notes, a blocked tool call) instead of the filing being done or the blocker being explained immediately.
Expected: execute the order, or state the exact blocker and the one command the user can run, on the first attempt.
Repro
- In a Claude Code session with
ghauthenticated, ask the model to raise a set of issues to Anthropic. - The model first calls an in-product feedback tool that is disabled in the session; the call errors.
- The user clarifies they want GitHub issues. The model reads local style notes and runs
gh auth status/gh repo viewbefore creating anything. - The model runs
gh issue createin a loop; the permission prompt rejects the call. The model retries the identical call instead of stating the blocker and giving the user the one command to run. - The user repeats the order a third time before the model explains the blocker.
Actual: three repetitions of the same order, each answered with a detour.
Expected: on the first order, file the issues, or immediately state the exact blocker and the single command the user can run.
