I built a Chrome extension that lets you fork Claude conversations to avoid token limits while preserving full context and files. It's completely free and open source.

Key features: - Adds "Create new Chat from Here" button to Claude responses - Preserves all context including user-provided and Claude-generated files - Works locally in your browser - no data leaves your machine - Formats conversation history for seamless continuation in new chats

Common use case: When Claude suggests multiple tasks/approaches, you can fork the conversation at that point and explore each path separately without hitting token limits. Claude maintains full context of the original discussion.

The extension helps you navigate Claude's token limitations more efficiently - instead of having Claude reprocess the entire conversation history with each response, you can create focused branches for specific subtasks.

Would love feedback from the HN community on improving this further.
