Problem Statement

Sometimes a Cowork task grows bigger than expected and I'd really like to quickly convert it to a project, keeping context of the initial chat and working dir/files

Proposed Solution

Implement a 'Convert to project' option for every Cowork task

Alternative Solutions

Create new Cowork project and enable importing of existing Cowork task

Priority

Medium - Would be very helpful

Feature Category

Configuration and settings

Use Case Example

Sometimes I will start a Cowork task but because of shifting priorities it will become more important. I'd want to have multiple Cowork tasks on that subject. That's of course where 'Projects' come into play. But it would save so much hassle if I could just convert that initial (ever-growing) task into a project, using the same working directory etc. as the initial task. I can already import projects from chat, but converting or importing existing Cowork task would make more sense to me.
