claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix [FEATURE] programmatic conversation renaming in Claude Cowork

Problem Statement

Currently, there is no tool available in Claude Cowork (or the Claude API) that allows an agent to set or update the name of the current conversation — neither on user instruction nor based on rules in CLAUDE.md. This seems like a small but high-value addition. Use cases:

Agents working with structured workflows (e.g., workstation-based setups) could automatically prefix the chat title with the active context (e.g., Brandpreventie | I/O-matrix) Users managing multiple parallel sessions would benefit from meaningful titles without manual effort CLAUDE.md instructions could drive consistent naming conventions across sessions

Proposed Solution

Suggested implementation: a simple MCP tool such as rename_conversation(title: string) that the agent can call when a new context is loaded or when the user explicitly requests a rename.

Alternative Solutions

Changing the name manually
