| description | Generate a concise Ghostex session title for the current thread or conversation. Use when the user asks for a thread name, chat title, session title, resume title, or any concise label summarizing what was worked on; then submit the rename command in the current Ghostex session. |
ghostex-generate-title
Generate one title only.
After generating the title, submit the rename command in this same Ghostex
session:
ghostex_session_selector="${GHOSTEX_GLOBAL_SESSION_REF:-${GHOSTEX_SESSION_ID:-${ZMX_SESSION:-}}}"
if [ -n "$ghostex_session_selector" ]; then
ghostex send-message "$ghostex_session_selector" "/rename <generated title>"
fi
Use send-message for the current Ghostex session rename. It sends the full
/rename <title> command and submits Enter in one operation, so the agent
should not call send-enter separately after send-message.
Do not use send-text alone. If send-message is unavailable and send-text
must be used, call send-enter for the same selector immediately after
send-text.
Do not use rename-command as the default for this skill. It can report an
accepted renderer request without proving the command was delivered into a
hidden or unmounted current session.
Rules
- Keep the title under 60 characters.
- Summarize the actual work done, not the whole conversation vibe.
- Use plain title case or compact phrase case.
- Avoid quotes, punctuation, emojis, and extra explanation.
- Use
GHOSTEX_GLOBAL_SESSION_REF as the self-session selector when it is set.
It is the exact S:P:G Ghostex session reference and avoids ambiguous bare
session ids.
- If
GHOSTEX_GLOBAL_SESSION_REF is missing, use GHOSTEX_SESSION_ID when it
is set. Ghostex may export either a stable session id or provider persistence
name, and the CLI resolves both directly.
- If both Ghostex selectors are missing, use
ZMX_SESSION when it is set. zmx
exports the provider session name for the current pane.
- If all three self-session selectors are missing, return the title only and do
not guess a session by title, alias, project, or recent activity.
- If
send-message fails with no matching session, return the title only. Do
not retry with a different selector.
