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
