README

pi-auto-session-name

Automatically generate a short working title for your Pi sessions based on the conversation.

When you start a new session and finish your first turn, this extension asks the session model to summarize the conversation into a concise, specific title — so your sessions are always named after what you actually did instead of staying as "New Session".

Usage

Install

# From git (unpinned — updates with `pi update --extensions`)
pi install git:github.com/therynamo/pi-auto-session-name

# Pin to a tag
pi install git:github.com/therynamo/pi-auto-session-name@v0.1.0

# Local development
pi install /Users/theryngroetken/dev/pi-auto-session-name

Controls

No manual controls needed — the extension fires automatically after the first assistant response. You can still rename the session manually at any time afterward.

How it works

  1. After the first turn completes (the agent has responded), the extension collects the user's messages from the conversation
  2. It sends a prompt to the session's current model asking for a short, specific title (max 60 characters)
  3. The generated title is set as the session name via pi.setSessionName()
  4. This only runs once per session — subsequent turns are unaffected, and manual renaming always works
