cosgroveb-claude-tmux-namer is a Claude Code plugin that automatically renames your tmux window from conversation context after each response.

About

cosgroveb-claude-tmux-namer is a Claude Code plugin that listens to your session and updates the current tmux window name to a concise phrase that reflects what you are working on. If you run several agent conversations at once—frontend in one window, API debug in another—default titles like bash or pane numbers force constant context switching. This plugin trades that friction for semantic labels derived from the latest exchange, so your window list reads like a lightweight task board. It complements session-summary style plugins but focuses on wayfinding during active work rather than end-of-session narrative. Requirements are Claude Code plus tmux; it is not a project management integration and does not sync titles to GitHub or Linear. Complexity stays low: install the plugin, keep coding, and let renames happen after agent turns. Best when you multiplex aggressively; skip if you use a single full-screen IDE session without tmux.

  • Renames the active tmux window from Claude conversation context after responses
  • Uses a short descriptive phrase instead of leaving windows untitled or generic
  • Community Claude Code plugin (pluginCount: 1) from cosgroveb/claude-tmux-namer
