Problem Statement

When using claude --resume to browse past sessions, the titles are hard to scan — they show the last message content, which is often generic or truncated.

Proposed Solution

  1. Option to set a custom title for a session (e.g., /title "agent bot 2nd API layer fixes")
  2. Or option to have AI generate a meaningful title based on the conversation content
  3. A config option like session_title_mode: auto | manual | ai in settings

Why this matters:

When working on a complex project across many sessions, claude --resume lists dozens of sessions with titles like "can u give me this bot .." or "deploy and set secrets" — these don't tell you what the session
actually accomplished. A descriptive title like "Agent bot: event-driven exits + sell verification" would make it much easier to find and resume the right session.
