What

Before bundling a pull request for review, Claude Code now checks in parallel with gh pr view whether your linked GitHub account can actually see the repo. If it cannot, the review stops immediately with advice to connect an account, install the Claude GitHub app, or run /web-setup to reuse your existing gh CLI login, instead of failing later with a generic HTTP error. It is on unless a server-side config sets github_access_precheck_enabled to false.

Details
  • Two failure verdicts short-circuit the review: github_not_connected and github_repo_not_found.
  • The probe has a time budget of 5000 ms unless a caller supplies its own accessProbeBudgetMs.
  • The /web-setup suggestion additionally requires the allow_remote_sessions and allow_quick_web_setup account entitlements.
  • A telemetry event, tengu_review_remote_github_access_probe, records the verdict and HTTP status.

Ultrareview clones <owner>/<repo> in the cloud with the GitHub account connected to your Claude account, and none is connected (or the connection expired).

Confirmed since Anthropic's documentation has since written up /web-setup, on Claude Code changelog. * Fixed `/autofix-pr` and other cloud-session commands saying to retry or install the Claude GitHub App when no GitHub account is connected; they now point to `/web-setup` or the web connect page changelog see the edit
