Problem Statement

When using the new claude agents view (amazing feature btw <3), when I use a /branch or /fork it replaces the current chat with the branched chat. The original chat is no longer accessible in agents view, and cannot be resumed (due to this bug https://github.com/issues/created?issue=anthropics%7Cclaude-code%7C60203).

Proposed Solution

However, in agents view, it would make way more sense to add the new branch to the list of chats, so I can quickly navigate in between the original, the branch, and any other branch that I create.

Priority

High - Significant impact on productivity

Feature Category

Interactive mode (TUI)

Use Case Example

  1. Working on shareholder value feature
  2. Want a quick change / adjustment to the feature I am working on (layout issues for example) without taking up my main chat that does the large important stuff.
  3. Or if I want to ask follow up questions after a /btw.
  4. Branch to fix the small stuff with all of the relevant context from the original chat
  5. Quickly go back to original chat to continue work
