Effects and persistence

Changes the current session's name while retaining its conversation.

/rename [name] updates the saved name of the current chat without changing its transcript.

Cautions

  • Renaming does not change the transcript or Git branch.
  • Do not put secrets, customer data, or tokens in chat names.
  • Prefer a short searchable prefix over a long description.
  • Unnamed tasks receive automatic titles in 0.150.0+, but durable work should still use a reviewed team-readable name.
