Bug Description

After using /rename to give a session a display name, Claude Code prints:

Resume this session with:
claude --resume "Agents and Skills audit"

But running that exact command returns:

No conversations found to resume.

The same failure occurs with both claude --resume "name" from the shell and /resume "name" from within Claude Code.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Start a Claude Code session
  2. Run /rename Agents and Skills audit
  3. Session header updates to show the new name
  4. Terminal prints Resume this session with: claude --resume "Agents and Skills audit"
  5. Exit the session
  6. Run claude --resume "Agents and Skills audit"
  7. Result: No conversations found to resume.

Expected Behavior

Either:

  • /resume should work with display names set by /rename, OR
  • The "Resume this session with:" line should show the actual session ID, not the display name

Actual Behavior

The generated resume command does not work. The tool instructs the user to run a command that fails.

Environment

  • Claude Code v2.1.100
  • Model: claude-sonnet-4-6
  • Platform: macOS (darwin)

extent analysis

TL;DR

  • The issue can be worked around by using the actual session ID instead of the display name set by /rename in the claude --resume command.

Guidance

  • Verify that the session ID is correctly stored or generated after renaming a session to ensure it can be resumed.
  • Check the documentation or source code of Claude Code to see if there's an option or command to retrieve the session ID after renaming.
  • Test resuming a session using the session ID directly in the claude --resume command to confirm it works as expected.
  • Consider filing a feature request or bug report to have the "Resume this session with:" message updated to use the session ID instead of the display name.

Example

  • No explicit code example is provided due to the lack of specific API or function details in the issue description.

Notes

  • The workaround assumes that the session ID is accessible or can be retrieved after a session is renamed.
  • The issue might be specific to the version of Claude Code (v2.1.100) or the model (claude-sonnet-4-6) being used.

Recommendation

  • Apply workaround: Use the actual session ID for resuming sessions until the issue is addressed in a future version of Claude Code, as it provides a reliable method to resume sessions despite the display name issue.
