Context Fork

Fork the current session to a different model (Haiku by default) with full conversation context preserved. Useful for delegating sub-tasks to a model better suited for the job.

Usage:

• /cc-context-fork "summarize our conversation" — Haiku (default)
• /cc-context-fork sonnet "review the architecture decisions" — Sonnet
• /cc-context-fork opus "deep analysis of this module" — Opus
• /cc-context-fork --tools "Read,Bash" "run tests and report" — Custom tools

Workflow

1. Parse arguments from $ARGUMENTS (see table below)
2. Write prompt to $SKILL_DIR/.responses/fork-prompt-<timestamp>-$$.txt
   • Resolve SKILL_DIR via: ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}, or the skill's directory
3. Run the fork via Bash:

   bash "$SKILL_DIR/scripts/context-fork.sh" \
     "${CLAUDE_SESSION_ID}" "<model>" "$PROMPT_FILE" [--tools "<tools>"]

4. Read the response: Script outputs FILE: <path> — read that file and present contents to user
5. Clean up: Remove the prompt temp file

Argument Parsing

First word haiku/sonnet/opus sets model (default: haiku). --tools overrides allowed tools (default: Read,Grep,Glob). Remainder is the prompt.

Limitations

• Context cost: Forked session re-processes full conversation context at the target model's rate
• Headless mode: Runs with -p (print) — cannot ask clarifying questions. Prompts must be self-contained
• Haiku limits: May struggle with complex multi-step reasoning. Use sonnet or opus for harder tasks
• --continue fallback: If ${CLAUDE_SESSION_ID} substitution fails, falls back to --continue (resumes most recent session in CWD)
