sidequest

What problem does it solve?

This Skill lets you spawn a new Claude Code session in a separate terminal, enabling parallel work on a different task without interrupting your current progress.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Context-aware or headless side quests: optionally gather context from the main session or start fresh.
• Automatic terminal orchestration: opens a new macOS Terminal.app or iTerm2 tab/window and launches Claude with a prepared prompt.
• Flexible invocation: use a task description with optional flags like --no-context or --iterm, and the skill detects your terminal automatically.
• Use Case: When you need to prototype a feature while keeping the main task running, sidequest allows you to spin up a separate Claude session and share the current working directory and git branch.

Quick Start

Start a sidequest by running a task description, e.g. sidequest --task "Add a settings page with dark mode" or /sidequest "..."

• Run with context: sidequest --task "Add a settings page" --context "Working on main app"
• Run without context: sidequest --task "Add a settings page" --no-context Claude opens a new terminal and returns control to the main session.
