Clone the current conversation so the user can branch off and try a different approach.

Steps:

  1. Get the current session ID and project path: tail -1 ~/.claude/history.jsonl | jq -r '[.sessionId, .project] | @tsv'
  2. Find clone-conversation.sh with bash: find ~/.claude -name "clone-conversation.sh" 2>/dev/null | sort -V | tail -1
    • This finds the script whether installed via plugin or manual symlink
    • Uses version sort to prefer the latest version if multiple exist
  3. Run: <script-path> <session-id> <project-path>
    • Always pass the project path from the history entry, not the current working directory
  4. Tell the user they can access the cloned conversation with claude -r and look for the one marked [CLONED <timestamp>] (e.g., [CLONED Jan 7 14:30])
