Feature Request: Allow customizing session title format (e.g., project name prefix)
Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Apr 9, 2026 by garaz1983-rgb Closed Apr 12, 2026
Problem
When working across multiple projects, session titles are auto-generated without any project context. This makes it hard to distinguish which session belongs to which project, especially when many sessions are open.
For example, a session might be titled "Korean greeting conversation" even though it was opened in a specific project directory.
Proposed Solution
Allow users to configure the session title format via CLAUDE.md or settings. For example:
- A rule like
[project_name] <auto-generated title>would prefix every session with the project name. - The project name could be derived from the working directory name or a user-defined value in CLAUDE.md.
Example
Instead of:
Korean greeting conversationRefactor and consolidate...
It would show:
[app_switcher] Korean greeting conversation[my_backend] Refactor and consolidate...
Why This Matters
- Multi-project workflows become much easier to manage
- Session list becomes scannable at a glance
- CLAUDE.md instructions currently cannot control this behavior
