Add a way to pin a short (one-line) "current task" or session note that stays visible at the top of the Claude Code session UI throughout the conversation. This could be set via a slash command (e.g. /note My task: implement cohort apply flow) or a config setting, and cleared/updated at will.

The status line at the bottom already shows model/context info — this would be the complementary top anchor for user-defined session context.

Context

When working on long sessions, it's easy to lose track of what the current task or command is without scrolling back up. A pinned, always-visible summary at the top of the session pane would eliminate this friction.

Description

Add a way to pin a short (one-line) "current task" or session note that stays visible at the top of the Claude Code session UI throughout the conversation. This could be set via a slash command (e.g. /note My task: implement cohort apply flow) or a config setting, and cleared/updated at will.

Acceptance criteria

  • User can set a short sticky note for the session via a slash command or settings key
  • The note persists visibly at the top of the session without requiring scrolling
  • The note can be updated or cleared during the session
  • Works in both terminal and IDE extension surfaces (or gracefully degrades)

Notes

Related: the existing status line (/statusline) shows built-in variables but does not support free-form user text. This request is for a complementary, user-controlled anchor.
