claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix Agent name lost when session continues from context compaction [2 comments, 3 participants]

TL;DR

The agent name assigned via the rename feature may need to be persisted across sessions to prevent loss during context compaction.

Guidance

• Verify if the rename feature stores the agent name in a session-specific or global configuration to understand why it's lost during context compaction.
• Check if there's an existing mechanism to save agent names across sessions, such as a configuration file or database.
• Investigate the context compaction process to see if it resets or clears any stored agent information.
• Consider adding a feature to automatically save and restore agent names during session continuation.

Example

No code snippet can be provided without more information about the internal workings of the Claude Code session management.

Notes

The solution may depend on the internal implementation of the Claude Code rename feature and session management. Without access to the codebase or more detailed documentation, it's difficult to provide a specific fix.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround, such as manually saving and restoring agent names during session continuation, until a more permanent solution can be implemented.
