Offer the user several spin-off conversations as clickable buttons on a single persistent card. Each click spawns a fresh seeded conversation in the sidebar; the user keeps their place in the current conversation. Use when you want to branch into N focused threads (research directions, draft choices, pending replies, triage of N items) without losing the current context. Not for single-destination pivots — just reply inline.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
Use this skill when you want to offer the user several spin-off conversations from the current one. You render **one** persistent card. Each button on the card spawns its own seeded conversation in the sidebar. The user can click multiple buttons without losing their place — the origin conversation (this one) keeps focus.
## When this fits
- Research branches — "here are three angles to pursue"
- Draft choices — "here are the reply drafts I could write"
- Triaging N items — "here are the five threads with pending replies"
- Pending-reply fan-out — each sender gets their own drafting conversation
## When this does NOT fit
- Single-destination pivots — if there's one obvious next conversation, just reply inline or navigate there directly. One button is not a menu.
- Options that share context and should stay in one thread — keep them here.
- Inline Q&A the user can skim in place — answer; don't fan out.
## How to render
Emit exactly one `ui_show` call with a card shaped like this, then end your turn:
```json
{
"surface_type": "card",
"display": "inline",
"persistent": true,
"await_action": false,
"data": {
"title": "<framing headline>",

How to install
mdr add vellum-ai/vellum-assistant/conversation-launcher@sha256:d3398c58ab1e27fdThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260603.ff934d9, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
