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? ↩︎
