Thiago: make the same change https://github.com/{org}/{repo2}/pull/5385 in this repo

Claude: I’ll help you apply the same changes from the {repo} PR to this repo. Let me first fetch the PR details to understand what changes need to be made.

Claude:

⏺ Fetch(https://github.com/{org}/{repo}/pull/5385)
⎿  Error: Request failed with status code 404

Claude: Let me try using the GitHub CLI to get the PR information:

Bash(gh pr view 5385 --repo {org}/{repo} --json title,body,files)

A clever idea! And it works.

Claude:

⏺ Fetch(https://github.com/{org}/{repo}/pull/5385)
⎿  Error: Request failed with status code 404

Claude: The PR link returns a 404 error, which means it might be a private repository or the PR doesn’t exist. Could you please provide:

  1. The specific changes that were made in that PR, or
  2. A description of what changes you’d like me to apply to this repo, or
  3. Access to view the PR if it’s in a private repository

Claude: This will help me understand exactly what modifications you need me to make in this repository.

Poor Claude is overworked and needs to sleep and dream of electric sheep1.


  1. Seriously: it was exactly the same prompt, a few minutes apart from each other. Is it so hard to achieve determinism and reproducibility? ↩︎
