How does the skill determine the terminal title?

The skill analyzes your initial prompt or high-level task switches to extract a concise summary of the specific work being performed, such as debugging or feature building.

Which terminal emulators are supported?

It uses standard ANSI escape sequences compatible with most modern emulators, including iTerm2, macOS Terminal, Alacritty, tmux, and screen.

Does it update the title for every single message?

No, it is intelligently designed to trigger only at the start of a session or when you switch to a distinctly new high-level task to avoid unnecessary updates.

Can I add a custom prefix to my titles?

Yes, you can set the CLAUDE_TITLE_PREFIX environment variable (e.g., using an emoji or project name) to further customize your window identification.

Automatically updates terminal window titles to reflect current high-level tasks for improved workspace organization.

The Terminal Title skill enhances the developer workflow by providing dynamic, context-aware window titles within Claude Code. By analyzing user prompts to extract high-level objectives, it automatically sets descriptive titles such as 'Build: Auth Flow' or 'Fix: Login Bug' using ANSI escape sequences. This is essential for developers managing multiple concurrent Claude Code instances, enabling instant visual identification of active tasks and reducing the cognitive load of context switching between different terminal windows.
