README

Fork From First for Pi (pi-fork-from-first)

Fork the current Pi session from its first user message and switch into the new fork immediately. Useful especially in combination with npm:pi-session-ask and handoff/pickup prompt patterns.

Install

From npm:

pi install npm:pi-fork-from-first

From the dot314 git bundle (filtered install):

{
  "packages": [
    {
      "source": "git:github.com/w-winter/dot314",
      "extensions": ["extensions/fork-from-first.ts"],
      "skills": [],
      "themes": [],
      "prompts": []
    }
  ]
}

Usage

/fork-from-first

Rewind integration

If pi-rewind-hook is installed, /fork-from-first automatically requests a conversation-only fork ("keep current files"), so filesystem state is preserved while the conversation resets.
