Organizing threads

A thread is one conversation and its continuing work history inside a project. Use separate threads for separate questions or outcomes so their instructions, results, and follow-up work remain easy to find. You can run several threads in parallel; use an isolated worktree when simultaneous tasks should not edit the same project files.

Pin a thread from its context menu to keep it in the pinned section above your active work. Pinned threads are shown independently of their project, including when you connect to more than one environment.

Pinned threads still move to Settled when they become inactive. They also move when their pull request merges if Auto-settle merged threads is enabled.

When you un-settle a thread, it returns to the top of the active list so you can find it right away. Its timestamps do not change. Other threads keep their positions.

Right-click a pull request link in a thread and choose Link to thread to show that pull request in the sidebar. The thread settles when the linked pull request merges if Auto-settle merged threads is enabled. Right-click the same link and choose Unlink from thread to remove it.

Drag a pinned thread to change its position. The order is stored by the selected environment and appears on other compatible connected clients.

If reordering is unavailable for one environment, update the Scient server running there using the version guidance shown in the app.

To generate a fresh title from the conversation, open a thread’s context menu and choose Regenerate title. While Scient is generating it, the action reads Regenerating… and cannot be selected again. The option is hidden when the connected environment needs a server update.
