FAQPage Schema

How do I hand off a Claude conversation to a fresh session?▼

You hand off a conversation by compacting the current context into a sidequest document. This creates a ready handoff file and provisions a new worktree, Kitty tab, and Claude session to continue the task.

What is a sidequest document for Claude context handoff?▼

A sidequest document is a compacted summary of your current conversation context saved as markdown. It provides a fresh Claude session with the exact state and instructions needed to resume your work.

How do I create a Kitty tab and worktree for a new Claude session?▼

You create a Kitty tab and worktree by finalizing your sidequest document with the sidequest-end command. This automatically provisions the isolated worktree and opens the associated Kitty tab for the new session.

Where are sidequest handoff documents stored?▼

Sidequest handoff documents are stored as markdown files at /tmp/oroshi/claude/sidequests/<slug>.md. The slug is a kebab-case string of at most two words derived from the conversation content.

Can I use sidequest for Claude context handoff without a Kitty terminal?▼

No, the sidequest skill explicitly provisions a Kitty tab and creates a worktree as part of the session handoff. Kitty is a required dependency for instantiating the fresh Claude session.
