README

🪟 Zellij Tab Namer

Automatically renames the active Zellij tab to a short summary of the conversation after each agent turn. Uses a fast model to generate a concise 3–5 word label so you always know what each tab is doing at a glance.

Install

pi install npm:pi-zellij-tab-namer

Requirements

Zellij terminal multiplexer (auto-detected via ZELLIJ env var — does nothing outside Zellij)

What it does

Event	Action
Session start (existing session)	Generates a label from existing history
Agent turn ends	Schedules a rename based on the latest conversation
Session shutdown	Resets the tab name via `zellij action undo-rename-tab`

Renames are debounced so rapid successive turns don't spam the Zellij API.

How it works

After each turn, the extension passes the last few conversation entries to a fast/cheap model and asks it for a 3–5 word label. The label is then written to the active Zellij tab via the zellij action rename-tab command.
