VSCode: conversation auto-naming drops skill arguments
Bug Description
When invoking a skill with arguments in the VSCode extension (e.g. /jira-ticket TRI-2888), the conversation name used to include the full input including the argument. Now it only shows the skill name (/jira-ticket) without the argument.
This is a regression — it worked correctly for approximately the past month.
Steps to Reproduce
- Open Claude Code in VSCode
- Invoke a skill with an argument, e.g.
/jira-ticket TRI-2888 - Check the conversation name in the history/sidebar
Expected Behavior
Conversation name includes the full input: /jira-ticket TRI-2888
Actual Behavior
Conversation name only shows: /jira-ticket (argument is dropped)
Impact
This makes it impossible to distinguish between conversations started with the same skill but different arguments. For workflows like JIRA ticket investigation where each conversation maps to a specific ticket, this breaks the ability to find and resume past work.
Additional Context
/renamecommand does not work in the VSCode extension (see #9198, #15050, #16053)- There is no other workaround to name conversations in VSCode currently
