Feature Request
Description
Currently, there is no way to rename an existing conversation in Claude Code. Once a conversation is created (with or without a name), the name cannot be changed.
Use Case
When using claude -r to resume conversations, it would be very helpful to be able to rename old conversations for better organization. Sometimes you start a conversation without a name, or the original name no longer reflects what the conversation evolved into.
Proposed Solution
Add a way to rename existing conversations, for example:
- A flag like
claude --rename <old-name> <new-name> - Or an interactive option when listing conversations with
claude -rto rename them
Current Workaround
The only option is to start a new conversation with the desired name using claude -n "name", which loses the previous conversation context.
