Claude Session Title for Claude++

简体中文

Rename a Claude Desktop session only when the user explicitly asks. This Main-only Tweak is for Claude Desktop; it does not add a tool to terminal Claude Code and has no Renderer settings page.

Requirements

• Windows 10 or newer.
• Claude Desktop with Claude++ Runtime 0.2.9 or newer.

Tweak Store users do not need Node.js or PowerShell. Source development requires Node.js 24 or newer and PowerShell 7 or newer (pwsh).

Install and uninstall

The preferred installation path is Claude++'s reviewed Tweak Store:

1. Open Claude Desktop Settings > Tweak Store.
2. Find Claude Session Title and choose Install.
3. Restart Claude Desktop.

Use the Store page to update the Tweak. Use Settings > Tweaks to enable or disable it. To uninstall a Store copy, disable it, exit Claude Desktop, choose Open Tweaks Folder, remove com.kpk.claude-session-title, and restart Claude Desktop.

Source development install

For a trusted source checkout, create only this Claude++ Tweak Junction, then restart Claude Desktop:

pwsh -NoProfile -File .\Inject-ClaudePlusPlus.ps1 -CheckOnly
pwsh -NoProfile -File .\Inject-ClaudePlusPlus.ps1

Remove only this development Junction, then restart Claude Desktop:

pwsh -NoProfile -File .\Uninject-ClaudePlusPlus.ps1 -CheckOnly
pwsh -NoProfile -File .\Uninject-ClaudePlusPlus.ps1

The scripts refuse to replace a real directory, symbolic link, or unsupported reparse point. Uninstall also refuses to remove a Junction that points to another source. This path is intended for source development, not normal Store installation.

Tool contract

The Tweak registers exactly one Main MCP server and exposes:

mcp__claudepp_session_title__set_session_title(
  session_id: string,
  title: string
)

Both arguments are required. session_id is always the explicit target. It may be a Desktop local_* manager key or the Claude Code session UUID exposed inside the conversation. The Tweak does not rewrite the ID; it forwards both strings and the genuine MCP call context to Runtime. Runtime 0.2.9 resolves a Claude Code UUID to its unique live Desktop session and validates the resulting local_* manager key before updating it. Explicit IDs for other sessions already known to Claude Desktop remain supported. Unknown or ambiguous IDs are rejected. The success response identifies the requested session ID but never repeats the title text.

Behavior and compatibility

• Claude Desktop persists the user title in its session metadata. The title remains after restart until it is renamed again.
• The Tweak consumes Claude++'s permission-scoped Main APIs only. It does not read or write Claude MCP configuration, .mcp.json, Claude settings, routes, hooks, IPC, or Tweak filesystem data. Its MCP server is hosted in memory.
• Runtime 0.2.9 is the exact minimum because it supplies the UUID-to-local_* resolution used by this release in addition to api.mcp and api.claude.sessionTitles. If either capability is absent, startup fails with upgrade guidance.
• Claude++'s private Claude Desktop adapter is version locked. Runtime 0.2.9 supports only the Desktop versions and private-module shapes declared by that Runtime. An unsupported Desktop version or private shape fails closed: Claude remains usable, but this tool is not injected and there is no configuration-writing fallback.

Development

Run the standalone and Junction tests:

npm test
npm run test:windows

Validate against a Claude++ 0.2.9 or newer source checkout:

$TweakRoot = (Get-Location).Path
$ClaudePlusPlusRoot = (Resolve-Path ..\claude-plusplus).Path
Set-Location $ClaudePlusPlusRoot
node --import tsx `
  (Join-Path $TweakRoot "scripts/compatibility/validate-claudeplusplus.mjs") `
  $ClaudePlusPlusRoot $TweakRoot

Expected output (runtime is the tested source checkout version):

claudeplusplus-compatibility=passed runtime=<host-version> tweak=0.1.2
