Fork Brainstorming Thread

The user wants to explore a tangent. Create a new branch in the brainstorming session.

Arguments

$ARGUMENTS contains the topic for the fork.

Actions to Perform

1. Update session state:

   • Push current thread onto the thread stack
   • Set current thread to the new fork name
   • Add fork to the list of open forks
   • Assign fork number (FORK 1, FORK 2, or nested like FORK 1.1)

2. Update session file:

   • Add a separator line ---
   • Add new section header: ## [FORK X] [topic name]
   • Add parent reference: Parent: [previous thread]

3. Acknowledge the fork to user:

FORKED: "[topic]"
Parent: [previous thread name]

Exploring this tangent now. Use /brainstorm:back to return.

[Then immediately start brainstorming on this new topic - ask a provocative question or offer initial ideas]

Fork Numbering

• First fork from MAIN: FORK 1
• Second fork from MAIN: FORK 2
• Fork from FORK 1: FORK 1.1
• Fork from FORK 1.1: FORK 1.1.1
• etc.

Important

• Stay in brainstorming mode
• Immediately start generating ideas for the new fork topic
• Keep the same energy and rules as the main brainstorm
• Don't ask "are you sure?" - just fork and go
• Forks can be nested as many levels as needed

If No Topic Provided

If $ARGUMENTS is empty, ask: "What tangent do you want to explore?"
