Terminal Title

A small developer quality-of-life skill: it auto-renames your terminal window to match the task Claude Code is working on, so when several connector projects are open at once you can tell them apart at a glance.

Claude Code only

How to use it

It works on its own — at the start of a Claude Code session (and when you switch to a clearly different task) it sets a short, descriptive window title. Nothing for you to give it; it just keeps tabs labeled. Claude Code only: it controls a real terminal window.

How to invoke / keep it on

Loads automatically at the start of a Claude Code session and on big task switches. No prompt needed; you can ask it to retitle if you want.

20 powerful examples for Melinda Maria

Copy, tweak, make them yours. Just describe the task — Claude loads the skill automatically.

01"Title this terminal for the canto-mcp debugging session I’m starting."

02"I’ve got three connector repos open in Claude Code — keep each window labeled with what it’s working on so I stop losing track."

03"I just switched from fixing the loudcrowd mirror to building a new shopmy tool — update the title to match."

04"Set a clear title while I work on the onboarding-hub deploy so I can find this tab fast."

05"Rename this window to show I’m tailing the gorgias connector’s production logs."

06"I’m about to run a risky migration on the apparelmagic D1 — put that in the title so I don’t mix it up with another tab."

07"Keep the title short but include the connector name and the action, like “nuorder — deploy”."

08"I have a local dev server running for the hub in one tab — label it so I know not to close it."

09"Switch the title now that I’ve moved from coding to writing the connector’s documentation."

10"Label this window for a sprout connector code review so it’s obvious at a glance."

11"I’m running tests in this tab — reflect that in the title until they finish."

12"Set the title to flag this as the production deploy tab so I treat it carefully."

13"Update the title when I jump from the shipbob connector to the shiphero migration work."

14"Keep my four open terminals each clearly named so screen-sharing with the team isn’t confusing."

15"Title this session for the Turnstile setup I’m doing on the wholesale form."

16"I opened a new tab just to inspect KV keys — label it so I remember its purpose."

17"Put the current branch or task in the title while I work on a connector fix."

18"Reset the title to something neutral now that I’ve finished the deploy."

19"Make the title say which connector’s health I’m investigating right now."

20"Help me keep tab titles consistent across all my connector sessions so I can scan them instantly."
