Problem Statement

Why can't I spawn /fork while claude is working?
This is when the ability to spawn a background agent is most needed! I don't want to press esc to stop claude, create /fork, and then write to the main claude to continue. I want to just write /fork do x and it will work.

Proposed Solution

You can /fork a background agent if you remember something while Claude is working
