claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix [BUG] /ultrareview fails with "no GitHub remote" on properly configured HTTPS origin (v2.1.119) [1 comments, 2 participants]

Summary

/ultrareview fails with a "no GitHub remote detected" style error on a repository that has a properly configured HTTPS origin, a valid merge-base with main, and a live GitHub Pull Request. All four documented invocation styles fail:

• /ultrareview (no args)
• /ultrareview main
• /ultrareview origin/main
• /ultrareview <PR#> (where the PR exists on origin)

Tried variants cover the full surface documented in v2.1.86+ release notes.

Environment

• Claude Code: 2.1.119
• OS: macOS (Darwin 25.1.0)
• Shell: zsh
• Repo: private, HTTPS origin on github.com
• Branch under review: a 13-commit feature branch diverged from main
• Target PR: a live Draft PR (base=main, head=feature branch)

Local verification — all healthy

$ git merge-base main <feature-branch>
<commit>                            # succeeds

$ git remote -v
origin  https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>.git (fetch)
origin  https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>.git (push)

$ git config --get branch.main.remote    # origin
$ git config --get branch.main.merge     # refs/heads/main
$ git symbolic-ref refs/remotes/origin/HEAD    # refs/remotes/origin/main

$ gh repo view --json name,owner
{"name":"<repo>","owner":{"login":"<owner>"}}    # gh authenticated

Nothing in the local environment suggests a broken remote.

Expected

/ultrareview should detect origin on https://github.com/... and proceed with the cloud review, either on the working diff or the specified PR.

Actual

The command returns immediately with a "no GitHub remote" / "no GitHub project context" style failure. All four argument shapes produce the same class of error.

Workaround

Fell back to a local multi-agent review flow. No cloud review was possible on this repo in this session.

Related issues

• #49458 — similar symptom shape but the reported error is about merge-base with main, which succeeds in our case
• #49534 — feature request to add directory validation
• #49510 — commands not visible despite eligibility
• #50029 — empty findings on large repos (different failure mode)

None of the above are exact matches: in our case the command is visible, quota is available, merge-base does resolve, and the remote is a standard HTTPS GitHub origin — yet detection still fails.

Note

The exact error string from the CLI was not captured verbatim in the failing session. Following the reproduction above on any similarly configured HTTPS-origin repo with a live PR should reproduce it; happy to capture the precise output on request.
