Description
Fork a terminal session to a new terminal window. Use this when the user requests 'fork terminal' or 'create a new terminal' or 'new terminal: <command>' or 'fork session: <command>'.

Purpose

Fork a terminal session to a new terminal window. Using one agentic coding tools or raw cli commands. Follow the Instructions, execute the Workflow, based on the Cookbook.

Variables

ENABLE_RAW_CLI_COMMANDS: true ENABLE_GEMINI_CLI: true ENABLE_CODEX_CLI: true ENABLE_CLAUDE_CODE: true AGENTIC_CODING_TOOLS: claude-code, codex-cli, gemini-cli

Instructions

  • Based on the user's request, follow the Cookbook to determine which tool to use.

Fork Summary User Prompts

  • IF: The user requests a fork terminal with a summary. This ONLY works for our agentic coding tools AGENTIC_CODING_TOOLS. The tool MUST BE enabled as well.
  • THEN:
    • Read, and REPLACE the .claude/skills/fork-terminal/prompts/fork_summary_user_prompt.md with the history of the conversation between you and the user so far.
    • Include the next users request in the Next User Request section.
    • This will be what you pass into the PROMPT parameter of the agentic coding tool.
    • IMPORTANT: To be clear, don't update the file directly, just read it, fill it out IN YOUR MEMORY and use it to craft a new prompt in the structure provided for the new fork agent.
    • Let's be super clear here, the fork_summary_user_prompt.md is a template for you to fill out IN YOUR MEMORY. Once you've filled it out, pass that prompt to the agentic coding tool.
    • XML Tags have been added to let you know exactly what you need to replace. You'll be replacing the <fill in the history here> and <fill in the next user request here> sections.
  • EXAMPLES:
    • "fork terminal use claude code to <xyz> summarize work so far"
    • "spin up a new terminal request <xyz> using claude code include summary"
    • "create a new terminal to <xyz> with claude code with summary"

Workflow

  1. Understand the user's request.
  2. READ: .claude/skills/fork-terminal/tools/fork_terminal.py to understand our tooling.
  3. Follow the Cookbook to determine which tool to use.
  4. Execute the .claude/skills/fork-terminal/tools/fork_terminal.py: fork_terminal(command: str) tool.

Cookbook

Raw CLI Commands
