Problem Statement

When running background agents with custom names, it would be helpful to see the agent name in the window or tab title.

Description:

When running background agents with custom names, it would be helpful to see the agent name in the window or tab title.

Use Case:

  • User spawns an agent to work on a specific task (e.g., "Chronos" for timeout analysis)
  • Multiple agents or sessions may be running
  • Window/tab title could show: Claude Code - Chronos or Chronos - VSW-5353 Timeout Tuning

Benefits:

  • Easy identification of which agent is working in which window/tab
  • Better task switching when managing multiple concurrent agents
  • Improved context awareness at a glance

Proposed Solution

When a background agent is launched with a name, update the window title

  • Format: Claude Code - [Agent Name] or [Agent Name] - [Task Description]
  • Revert to default title when agent completes or user continues working
