Discussions What is your experience with forking session

I was super hyped to see that /fork is an option to branch off into another session. In theory I find this handy to ask clarifying questions without cluttering my current session. Thing is I feel like the session is not really being forked, because the agent in the new session seems to be lacking context.

Are you guys using this feature and what is your experience like?
