Problem Statement

Feature Request: Support for Locking Conversation Titles

Problem
Currently, Claude Code automatically updates conversation titles based on the dialogue content. When a user manually edits a conversation name, any new interaction causes the title to be automatically overwritten, making it impossible to maintain custom names.

Proposed Solution
Add one of the following options:

  1. Add a "lock" icon next to conversation titles, allowing users to pin custom titles
  2. Add a configuration setting claudeCode.autoRenameConversations: false to disable auto-renaming
  3. After manual renaming, prompt the user whether to keep that name

Use Cases

  • Long-term conversations for specific projects that need consistent names (e.g., "React Project", "Backend API Development")
  • Organizing conversations by topic for easier retrieval
  • Distinguishing between multiple similar-themed conversations with custom names

Current Workaround
No ideal workaround available.

Additional Context

  • Platform: macOS
  • Claude Code Version: 2.1.89
