/clear <name> argument not shown in /resume picker
Resolved 💬 2 comments Opened May 5, 2026 by nvyakara Closed May 7, 2026
Description
When using /clear <name>, the name is stored internally in session metadata but is not displayed in the /resume picker. Instead, the resume list shows the first user message as the conversation label.
Steps to reproduce
- Start a conversation and do some work
- Run
/clear My Custom Name - Start a new conversation
- Run
/resume - Look for "My Custom Name" in the list — it's not there. The session shows the first user message instead.
Expected behavior
The name passed to /clear should appear as the conversation label in the /resume picker, so users can find named conversations easily.
Actual behavior
The name is silently discarded from the UI. The only way to name a conversation visibly is Ctrl+R from the resume picker.
Suggestion
Display the /clear <name> argument as the conversation label in the /resume list, so users can organize and find their sessions by meaningful names.
