What it does

Session Title is an agent skill from kdeldycke/dotfiles. Refresh the current Claude Code session's title (shown in /resume picker and terminal tab). Trigger on "rename session", "refresh session title", "update tab title", "set session title to ...".

Its SKILL.md is about 550 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts. Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code. Recommended model: Sonnet.

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7947d0f. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).

Context cost

Session Title loads about 550 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 52 tokens; SKILL.md has 247 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~52
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~550

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

name: session-title
description: Refresh the current Claude Code session's title (shown in /resume picker and terminal tab). Trigger on "rename session", "refresh session title", "update tab title", "set session title to ...".
compatibility: Designed for Claude Code. Recommended model: Sonnet.

When the user asks to refresh or rename the current session's title:

Compose the summary myself, from conversation context. I already have the full conversation in context: pick a 3-7 word title (max 50 chars) that captures the current topic. Do not call any external generator: that would spawn a Haiku inference (slow), and a fresh summary I'd pass to it tends to drift away from what I already know.

Use sentence case. Capitalize the first word and proper nouns only.
Determine the session_id and transcript path.
- session_id is in the env var CLAUDE_SESSION_ID if set, otherwise: take the basename (without .jsonl) of the most recently modified *.jsonl file directly under ~/.claude/projects/<sanitized-cwd>/ where <sanitized-cwd> is the current working directory with / replaced by -.
- The transcript path is ~/.claude/projects/<sanitized-cwd>/<session_id>.jsonl.
Apply via the helper. The helper auto-prepends the timestamp prefix (MM-DD@HH:MM) extracted from the first custom-title line in the transcript, so I should pass only the summary part:
bash
```
/Users/kde/code/dotfiles/dotfiles/.claude/hooks/session-title.py set "$session_id" "$transcript" "Refactor API client error handling"
```
The helper sanitizes (strips control chars, rejects path-shaped values, caps at 80 chars), writes the sidecar at ~/.claude/session-titles/<session_id>, and writes OSC 0 to update the terminal tab immediately. The UserPromptSubmit hook applies the sidecar title at the next prompt through Claude Code's supported rename path (the same write /rename uses), which persists it in the transcript and re-applies it on every later start/resume: the new title lands one prompt after this step.
Confirm in one short sentence, e.g.: Session title updated to: 04-29@10:14 Refactor API client error handling
