This is something I really wish was just built-in to Claude Code. I want it built in because I don't want to have to think about it beforehand. I should be able to jump back in conversation history and have the state of the code jump back with me, so it's restored to the same state it originally was at that point in the conversation.

(There does also need to be a way to jump back in the conversation history without reverting the code, there are times that is useful too!)

Cline gives you the ability to jump back to any point in the task. The three options are "Restore task", "restore files" and "restore task and files"

A common experience with these tools is that if you realize you want to change the direction you're heading, it's better to jump back to that point in the work and redo it than it is to try to redirect the tool from where you are. Here's a great post about it on the Cline blog
