Derive a conventional session name from the branch ticket, active bead, open PR, and current work, then print the paste-ready rename command for the active client. Use when a session's auto-name is generic.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Name session — propose a conventional session name

Build a `<scope>-<descriptive>` name from the current context and emit the active client's ready-to-paste rename command.

## Important — client command and limitation

Harness selection comes from the current tool surface.
Never use the shell, PATH, filesystem, process list, or installed binaries to detect another client.
Treat the client as unknown when that surface does not conclusively identify Pi or Claude Code.
These rules are shared with `/wrap-up` and `/handoffs`; command printing is a proposal, not execution.

- It **cannot rename the session for you.** Slash commands emitted in model output are inert text; the user must enter the command in the client's command input.
- **Pi:** use `/name {session-name}`. Never suggest `/rename` or `/settings name` in Pi.
- **Claude Code:** use `/rename {session-name}`.
- If the client is unknown, state both commands rather than guessing.

## Convention

```
<scope>-<descriptive>
```

- **scope** — the most specific identifier available, in priority order:
  1. Jira ticket from the branch name (e.g. `AB-1505`) — keep its natural Jira case.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add flurdy/agent-skills/name-session@sha256:097c394bf7d9b289

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.2.1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
