Sub-chats

Sub-chats let you run multiple parallel conversations within the same p0 session. Each sub-chat is an independent thread with its own conversation history and context.

​

Creating a sub-chat

To create a new sub-chat within your current session:

• Type /clear in the chat to start a fresh conversation thread
• The new sub-chat opens as a tab alongside your existing threads
• Start chatting with p0 in the new thread

All sub-chats within a session share the same git worktree but maintain independent conversation histories.

​

Managing sub-chats

Sub-chats appear as tabs in the session interface, making it easy to navigate between different conversations:

• Tab navigation - Click tabs to switch between sub-chats
• Pinning - Pin important sub-chats to keep them easily accessible
• Renaming - Give sub-chats descriptive names to organize your work

Each sub-chat maintains its own metadata including ID, name, creation timestamp, and mode.

​

Independent modes

Each sub-chat can operate in its own mode independently:

• Sub-chat A could be in Plan mode exploring a new feature
• Sub-chat B could be in Agent mode implementing a bug fix
• Sub-chat C could be in Plan mode analyzing architecture options

The mode setting is stored per sub-chat and persists across sessions using localStorage.

​

Use cases

Sub-chats are useful for:

• Exploring different approaches - Try multiple solutions in parallel and compare results
• Separating concerns - Have one sub-chat for frontend changes and another for backend
• Quick questions - Ask questions without interrupting your main implementation thread
• Parallel tasks - Work on multiple independent features simultaneously
• Documentation - Keep a sub-chat for documentation updates separate from code changes
