side-fork

Fork the current session into a new terminal window. Unlike the built-in /branch (which replaces the current terminal with the fork), this keeps the current terminal as the original session and opens the fork in a new window.

Instructions

Run the following command:

${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/side-fork.sh ${CLAUDE_SESSION_ID}

On success, tell the user:

• A new window has been opened with the forked session
• This terminal continues as the original session

Supported Terminals

• tmux: Opens a new window (tmux new-window)
• screen: Opens a new window (screen -X screen)

Troubleshooting

"unsupported terminal"

The script only supports tmux and screen. If you're using another terminal, run the fork manually:

claude --resume <session_id> --fork-session
