claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix [Feature Request] Persistent session names and colors with settings.json defaults [1 comments, 2 participants]

Bug Description Feature request: persistent session name + color

Currently /rename and /color set in-memory state that is lost on /clear and on session restart. There is no way to configure defaults via settings.json, and SessionStart hooks cannot invoke slash commands.

Proposal: support defaultSessionName and defaultSessionColor in ~/.claude/settings.json (and project-level overrides). Bonus: allow defaultSessionName to accept a template like "{repoName}" so each project gets its own label automatically.

Use case: I work across multiple repos and color-code sessions to tell them apart at a glance. Today I re-type /rename <repo> and /color <x> after every /clear, which adds friction to a workflow that should be invisible.
