When this pattern helps
Choose the session strategy according to which facts must survive the next step. Preserve decisions, constraints, and verified findings explicitly; do not assume a long conversation retains every important detail equally well.
根据下一步需要保留哪些事实来选择会话策略。把决策、约束和已验证发现明确写下来,不要假设长对话能同等可靠地保留所有细节。
People often ask how to fork an existing session. Two ways:
- Run
/branch from your session
- From the CLI, run
claude --resume --fork-session
/branch creates a branched conversation — you are now in the branch. To resume the original, use claude -r .
