1. Why Do You NEED This Feature?

I regularly have multiple conversations going for different tasks — one for a refactor, one for debugging CI, one for a new feature, etc. Right now they're all identified by UUIDs, and when I open /conversations I'm staring at a wall of random strings trying to remember which one was which. It's genuinely annoying when you're context-switching between 3-4 things.

2. What Is NOT Possible Right Now?

There's no way to give a conversation a name. The only identifier is the auto-generated UUID, so the conversation list is just a bunch of IDs with no context. I end up having to open conversations one by one to figure out which is which, or I just give up and start a new one (losing all the prior context).

3. What WILL Be Possible With This Feature?

Being able to tag conversations with a short name so I can actually tell them apart:

/conversations
  auth-refactor        (2 hours ago)
  fix-ci-pipeline      (yesterday)
  a1b2c3d4-...         (3 days ago)    # unnamed ones keep the UUID, no breaking change

Proposed Solution (User Experience)

Something like:

• /rename <name> inside an active session to name/rename the current conversation
• Maybe also forge conversation rename <id> <name> from outside a session
• /conversations shows the custom name if one is set, falls back to UUID otherwise
• Keep it simple — freeform string, reasonable length limit, done

Alternatives Considered

Auto-generating names from the first message or an LLM summary could help too, but it doesn't replace being able to set your own name. Could be a nice complement though.

High - Would significantly improve my workflow

Examples from Other Tools

Pretty much every chat-based tool already does this — ChatGPT, Claude web, Zed's assistant panels, etc. It's a well-established pattern.

Additional Context

Discussed briefly on Discord with a maintainer who suggested opening an issue for it.
