Problem Statement
Claude Code sets the terminal title to "Claude Code", which makes it hard to distinguish between multiple instances
open in different project folders.
Proposed Solution
Allow customizing the terminal/tab title to include the current working directory or project name. For example:
- Claude Code - Pharmaroom
- Or just the folder name: Pharmaroom
A configuration option like titleFormat in settings would be ideal, with placeholders such as {cwd}, {project},
{basename}.

Use Case Example

terminal belongs to which project.
