Currently the only workaround is maintaining a separate log file index outside of Claude Code, which is redundant if session names were meaningful.

Problem

When using claude --resume, the session list shows auto-generated names that are often too generic or cryptic (e.g. "check something..."), making it hard to identify which session to resume — especially for users who work on multiple projects.

Requested behavior

  1. More descriptive auto-generated names — titles should summarize the main task of the session (e.g. "Dashboard fix: filter mapping on card 2015" instead of "check settings...")
  2. Support for non-English names — users who work in other languages (Spanish, etc.) would benefit from titles that reflect the actual language used in the session
  3. Optional: ability to manually rename sessions — a command like claude --rename-session <id> "My custom name" would give full control

Context
