Use /fork to clone a workspace with its full conversation history and UI state. The forked workspace gets a new workspace on a new branch (using the same backend as the current workspace). Usage: 
/fork <new-workspace-name>

[start-message (optional)]

​
Use cases

  • Explore alternatives: Fork mid-conversation to try a different implementation approach.
  • Isolate tangents: See an unrelated bug or opportunity in the course of a change? Fork to keep the main conversation on track.
  • Create backup: Fork to keep a copy of an old conversation before a risky change in direction.

​
What happens when you fork

The new workspace:
  • Appears at the top of the workspace list (most recent)
  • Gets a unique auto-generated name (customize via rename after creation)
  • Branches from the current workspace’s HEAD commit
What’s copied: Conversation history, model selection, thinking level, auto-retry setting, UI mode (plan/exec), chat input text What’s not copied: Uncommitted file changes (new branch starts from HEAD)
