/rename generates unusable /resume command
Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Apr 10, 2026 by acapretto Closed Apr 14, 2026
Bug Description
After using /rename to give a session a display name, Claude Code prints:
Resume this session with:
claude --resume "Agents and Skills audit"
But running that exact command returns:
No conversations found to resume.
The same failure occurs with both claude --resume "name" from the shell and /resume "name" from within Claude Code.
Steps to Reproduce
- Start a Claude Code session
- Run
/rename Agents and Skills audit - Session header updates to show the new name
- Terminal prints
Resume this session with: claude --resume "Agents and Skills audit" - Exit the session
- Run
claude --resume "Agents and Skills audit" - Result:
No conversations found to resume.
Expected Behavior
Either:
/resumeshould work with display names set by/rename, OR- The "Resume this session with:" line should show the actual session ID, not the display name
Actual Behavior
The generated resume command does not work. The tool instructs the user to run a command that fails.
Environment
- Claude Code v2.1.100
- Model: claude-sonnet-4-6
- Platform: macOS (darwin)
