claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix Add ability to rename sessions for --resume [2 comments, 2 participants]

Common workflow: paste a Slack/GitHub URL as the first message, then do extensive work. The session becomes impossible to find later in --resume without trial and error.

TL;DR

Implementing a /title or /rename command to set a human-readable title for sessions would likely resolve the issue.

Guidance

• Introduce a new command, such as /title or /rename, that allows users to set a descriptive title for their sessions.
• Store the title along with the session data to display it in the --resume picker.
• Consider validating the title input to ensure it's descriptive and not empty.
• Update the --resume picker to display the session title instead of the first message.

Example

# Example usage of the proposed /title command
claude --session-id <id> /title "My Descriptive Session Title"

Notes

The implementation details of the /title command and session data storage are not specified, so the above guidance is high-level.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Implement the proposed /title or /rename command to improve session identification and management. This approach directly addresses the reported issue and provides a clear solution.
