Bug Description
It would be super helpful if the name of my session was automatically the name of my branch :)

An option to DRIVE /rename from the CWD/project name, which in turn labeled the branch would be closest to workflow origin.

  • name CWD (Project A).
  • option in settings to autoname session from CWD fires
  • option to autoname branch from session name fires

I'd also like this feature. Claude lets me work on many tasks in parallel, but it's hard to remember which tab is for which task. Having to remember to use /rename each time is toilsome. TIA!

Well, that was a fast window. It’s still relevant. Those of us who know how
to multitask would appreciate a more controllable labeling layer
