  • Create parallel explorations from a single conversation, preserving history and timestamps for reference.
  • Use case: a product manager wants to prototype two different solution paths side-by-side, then compare results.

Quick Start

Clone the current conversation to a new branch to explore a different approach.

FAQPage Schema
How do I branch a conversation to test alternative approaches without losing the original context?▼

The clone capability works by locating and invoking the clone-conversation.sh script with your session-id and project-path, producing a new thread marked with a [CLONED] timestamp.

Can I create parallel explorations from a single conversation to compare different solution paths?▼

Conversation cloning is best used during ideation, debugging, and decision-making workflows where you need to preserve original context while exploring multiple paths.

Why should I clone a conversation instead of just continuing in the same session?▼

Cloning a conversation prevents overwriting your main thread when testing new approaches, allowing you to safely explore hypotheses or prototype different solution paths without risking the original context.

Does conversation cloning work with CLI-based session management workflows?▼

Yes, conversation cloning integrates with CLI session-management workflows by executing a shell script to duplicate the active thread, allowing you to branch and test alternative approaches directly from the command line.
