Can I customize the format of the title?

Yes, while the skill recommends a specific format (emoji + issue number + description), it can set the title to any string provided by the user or workflow.

Is this skill safe to use in my environment?

Yes, it executes a simple 'printf' command via Bash which only affects the terminal's display metadata and does not modify any system files or configurations.

How does this skill change the terminal title?

It uses Bash and ANSI escape sequences to send a command to the terminal emulator, instructing it to update the window or tab title dynamically.

Does this work on all terminal emulators?

Most modern terminal emulators, including iTerm2, VS Code Terminal, Windows Terminal, and GNOME Terminal, support the ANSI escape sequences used by this skill.
