Forking Iteration

Overview

Create new autonomy branch forked from current commit or any iteration tag in git history. Enables "slime mold strategy" of parallel exploration.

Core principle: Branch creation is independent of iteration management. Fork creates branch, start-iteration begins work.

When to Use

Use this skill when:

• User runs /fork-iteration command
• User wants to create new exploration branch
• User wants to try alternative approach from past iteration
• User wants to bootstrap autonomy workflow from non-autonomy branch

DO NOT use for:

• Creating non-autonomy branches (use git directly)
• Starting iterations (use starting-an-iteration instead)
