fix: prevent GitHub issue auto-linking in Claude auto-review comments#40
Conversation
Adds explicit formatting instructions to the auto-review prompt to prevent Claude from using #number syntax when numbering issues in reviews. This prevents GitHub from auto-linking to unrelated repository issues/PRs. The prompt now instructs Claude to use "Issue 1" or "(1)" format instead of "#1" format, only using #number when explicitly referencing actual GitHub issues.
