claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix [Feature Request] Customizable session titles with project prefix support [1 participants]

TL;DR

Implementing a sessionTitlePrefix setting or a SessionTitleGenerate hook could allow for customizable session titles.

Guidance

• Consider adding a sessionTitlePrefix option to the settings.json file, allowing users to specify a custom prefix with template variables like {cwd_basename}.
• Introduce a SessionTitleGenerate hook that enables users to transform the auto-generated title based on their specific needs.
• Evaluate the feasibility of making the title generator respect the CLAUDE.md file, potentially leveraging its content to customize session titles.
• Investigate the current title generation logic to determine the best approach for integrating custom title prefixes or hooks.

Example

// settings.json example
{
  "sessionTitlePrefix": "{cwd_basename} - {session_name}"
}

Notes

The ideal solution depends on the existing architecture and the flexibility of the current title generation system. It may be necessary to weigh the trade-offs between adding a simple prefix setting versus introducing a more complex hook system.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by introducing a sessionTitlePrefix setting, as it seems to be a straightforward and user-friendly solution, allowing for easy customization of session titles without requiring significant changes to the existing system.
