[FEATURE] Allow custom or AI-generated conversation session titles
Preflight Checklist
- [x] I have searched existing requests and this feature hasn't been requested yet
- [x] This is a single feature request (not multiple features)
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
- Option to set a custom title for a session (e.g., /title "agent bot 2nd API layer fixes")
- Or option to have AI generate a meaningful title based on the conversation content
- 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.
