# Managing branched context threads for code tasks

Fork conversational sessions to test multiple technical approaches without polluting working context

When tackling complex technical designs or refactoring tasks, linear chats easily get bogged down by discarded experiments. The bot isolates alternative hypotheses into distinct branches, explores trade-offs in parallel, and extracts only the viable solution back into the primary project context.

## Prompt to start with

BotBentoRecommended

```
Maintain clean conversational context by spinning off tangent questions and alternative code implementations into separate sub-threads. When an exploratory branch concludes, extract key findings and summarize them back to the main thread. Log discarded approaches into notes for future reference. Always request confirmation before applying patches or committing updates to github.
