Feature Request: Allow renaming existing conversations

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 -r to 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.
