Update the tmux window name with a detailed summary of the current task.

Instructions

When this skill is invoked:

1. Generate a descriptive summary (up to 60 characters) of what you are currently working on. Include relevant context such as:

   • The specific task or action
   • Model or project name if relevant
   • Key details (file names, feature names, etc.)

2. Run the following Bash command to update the status, replacing <SUMMARY> with your summary:

if [ -n "$TMUX" ]; then
  INDEX=$(__SCRIPT_DIR__/get-claude-index.sh)
  if [ -n "$INDEX" ]; then
    echo "<SUMMARY>" > ${CLAUDE_WS_TMP:-/tmp}/claude_title_$INDEX
    tmux rename-window -t "$TMUX_PANE" "<SUMMARY>"
  fi
fi
