Tab Status

tab-status

🟢 example.com	🔴 example.com	🔴 project-plan	🟡 acme-store	+

Shows Claude's status in your terminal tab: a colored dot for what Claude is doing, plus the project folder name so you can tell tabs apart at a glance.

Tab	State
🟢 example.com	idle, ready for input
🔴 example.com	working on your prompt (another session)
🔴 project-plan	working on your prompt
🟡 acme-store	background agents or tasks still running

On Windows (outside WSL) the dots render as squares (🟩 🟥 🟨), so when you run both Windows and WSL terminals you can tell them apart at a glance.

Install

• Install Node.js if you don't have it, from https://nodejs.org/en/download

• Run these inside Claude Code:

  /plugin marketplace add interactivetools-com/claude-plugins
  /plugin install tab-status@itools
  /update-config CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_TERMINAL_TITLE=1   # stop Claude Code from overwriting the title
  

• Then restart Claude Code (/exit, then relaunch) to apply the changes.

Custom title

By default the tab shows the project folder name. To override it for the current session, use Claude Code's built-in rename:

# Manually set the tab title to "My Project"
/rename My Project

# Let Claude generate a title from the conversation
/rename

The tab updates on your next prompt, or when Claude stops.

Note: There's no built-in way to reset back to the folder name (Claude Code /rename limitation).
