Summary
Adds a new
new-sessionplugin that introduces a/newslash command. It bridges the gap between the built-in/clearand/branchcommands:/clear— wipes context in the same session/branch— forks the current session, copying full history/new— starts a fresh session while preserving the current one for/resumeOptional argument labels the saved session for easier retrieval (e.g.
/new auth-refactor).Implementation
The plugin is a single markdown command that instructs Claude to invoke the built-in
/clear(with an optional label argument) so the old session remains accessible via/resume. No new code paths or destructive operations.Files added:
