feat: --color CLI flag for session color
Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Mar 28, 2026 by zakmandhro Closed Jun 1, 2026
Feature Request
Add --color and --title CLI flags to set the session color and TUI input box label at launch time.
Current behavior
/color <color>— sets the session color in the TUI, interactive only/rename <name>— sets the label shown in the TUI input box, interactive only--name— exists but only affects session history/list, does not render in the TUI input box
Desired behavior
claude --color orange --title Mercury
--colorsets the session color (matching/colorbehavior)--titlerenders in the TUI input box (matching/renamebehavior)
If --name can be updated to also render in the TUI input box like /rename, that works too — otherwise a separate --title flag avoids breaking the existing --name semantics.
Available colors: red, blue, green, yellow, purple, orange, pink, cyan, default
Use case
Multi-agent orchestration setups (e.g. parallel git worktrees, each running a separate Claude Code agent) want to visually distinguish sessions by color and label at launch time — without requiring interactive input after the session starts.
