claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix Allow hooks or tools to set session title programmatically [2 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

Implementing a SetSessionTitle tool or exposing the /rename command for hooks to trigger programmatically could enable renaming sessions from within conversations.

Guidance

• Investigate the feasibility of adding a sessionTitle output field to hook scripts, allowing them to set the session name.
• Explore modifying the existing renameSession() function in the Agent SDK to make it accessible from within a running session.
• Consider creating a new tool, such as SetSessionTitle, that can be called by Claude to rename the current session.
• Evaluate the potential impact of exposing the /rename command to hooks, ensuring it does not introduce security vulnerabilities or other issues.

Example

No explicit code example is provided due to the lack of specific implementation details in the issue.

Notes

The proposed solutions require careful consideration of potential security implications and the need for proper validation and error handling to prevent abuse or unintended behavior.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by implementing a custom tool or hook output field, as upgrading to a fixed version is not mentioned in the issue. This approach allows for a more immediate solution to the problem, enabling programmatic renaming of sessions from within conversations.
