/name-session <name>
Extract the desired session name from the user's arguments. If no name was provided, ask the user what they'd like to name this session.
Run the set-session-name binary from the plugin:
"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/set-session-name" "<session-name>"
The binary updates the session's .cstatus file with a session_name field. The hook script carries this name forward on subsequent status updates.
/name-session API Refactor — names the session "API Refactor"/name-session Bug Hunt — names the session "Bug Hunt"
