Documentation

README

Excerpt

Use this skill when you want to offer the user several spin-off conversations from the current one. You render one persistent card. Each button on the card spawns its own seeded conversation in the sidebar. The user can click multiple buttons without losing their place — the origin conversation (this one) keeps focus.

When this fits

Research branches — "here are three angles to pursue"
Draft choices — "here are the reply drafts I could write"
Triaging N items — "here are the five threads with pending replies"
Pending-reply fan-out — each sender gets their own drafting conversation

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
