I’d like VS Code to support automatically renaming integrated terminals based on the active Claude (or other AI/chat) session name.
When I start a Claude session (for example, “Refactor backend APIs”) and open a new integrated terminal for that session, I’d like the terminal tab name to automatically use the session name, instead of a generic name like bash, zsh, or just a number.
Today I have to rename terminal tabs manually to match the Claude session, which is easy to forget and becomes tedious when working with multiple AI-assisted tasks.
Proposed / expected behavior
- When a terminal is created from, or associated with, an AI/chat session (e.g. Claude), VS Code (or the extension via API) can set the terminal name to the session title.
- This could be exposed as a setting or API so AI/chat extensions can programmatically update terminal names.
This would make it much easier to see which terminal belongs to which Claude (or other chat) session and reduce confusion when several terminals are open.
