/titleWhen to use it
- Add branch, project, or thread fields when several Codex sessions are open.
- Use action-required title items so pending user intervention is easier to notice.
Choosing related commands
| Command | Difference | Choose It When |
|---|---|---|
/title | Changes terminal title fields | You need to identify windows or tabs |
/statusline | Changes footer fields | You need persistent in-session status |
/status | Prints session state | You need a one-time snapshot |
Effects and persistence
Adjusts the terminal title; use rename to change the session name.
/title opens a picker for terminal title fields such as app name, project, status, thread, branch,
model, and task progress.
Cautions
- Title fields are a visibility aid, not an operational source of truth.
- Use
/statuswhen policy or model state matters.
