ccc-fork

ccc-fork is a command for coding agents from KevinZai/commander. It costs 16 tokens per session (1,165 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A session-branching workflow for trying separate implementation approaches in isolated Git branches. You can compare the branches and merge or discard one.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to fork a coding session, run parallel experiments, list active forks, and merge or discard results.
Why use it?
It lets you explore alternatives without changing the main session's work.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

ccc-fork scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Explore Fork

Split your current Claude Code session into parallel branches to explore multiple implementation approaches simultaneously. Try different solutions, compare results, and merge the best one back.

Usage

/branch                          # Fork current session into a new branch
/branch "try hooks approach"     # Fork with a description
/branch list                     # Show all active forks
/branch merge <id>               # Merge a fork back into main session
/branch discard <id>             # Discard a fork

How It Works

Fork a Session

/branch "approach A: use context API"

Forked session.
  Fork ID: fork-a1b2c3
  Description: approach A: use context API
  Base commit: abc1234
  Branch: explore/fork-a1b2c3

You're now in the fork. Changes here don't affect the main session.
Use /branch return to go back to the main session.

Resume with --fork-session

# From the CLI, fork an existing session
claude --resume --fork-session

# This creates a new session with the full context of the previous one
# but on a new git branch, so changes are isolated

Explore Multiple Approaches

# Main session: working on state management

/branch "approach A: React Context"
# ... implement with Context API ...
# ... run tests ...
/branch return

/branch "approach B: Zustand"
# ... implement with Zustand ...
# ... run tests ...
/branch return

/branch "approach C: Jotai"
# ... implement with Jotai ...
# ... run tests ...
/branch return

/branch list
# fork-a1b2c3: approach A: React Context (3 commits, tests passing)
# fork-d4e5f6: approach B: Zustand (2 commits, tests passing)
# fork-g7h8i9: approach C: Jotai (4 commits, 1 test failing)

/branch merge fork-d4e5f6
# Merged "approach B: Zustand" into main session.
# Discarding other forks...

Use Cases

Architecture Exploration

Compare different architectural approaches before committing:

"I need to implement caching. Fork three approaches:
1. In-memory with Map
2. Redis
3. SQLite

Each fork: implement, benchmark, and report performance numbers.
I'll merge the winner."

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

ccc-fork is a command published in the GitHub repository KevinZai/commander (6 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 16 tokens to every session and 1,165 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
