cc-tab-titles CLAUDE.md

cc-tab-titles CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from STRML/cc-tab-titles. It costs 745 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of project instructions for cc-tab-titles, a Claude Code add-on that changes terminal tab titles to summaries of the current work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when developing or testing cc-tab-titles, including its Bash hooks, title handling, and project-specific tests.
Why use it?
It gives the coding agent the project layout, design decisions, development notes, and sandbox rules it needs to work on the project correctly.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

cc-tab-titles CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 50 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

cc-tab-titles

A Claude Code plugin that sets terminal tab titles to AI-generated summaries of what's being worked on.

Project Structure

hooks/
  hooks.json          # Hook definitions (SessionStart, Stop, UserPromptSubmit)
  set-tab-title.sh    # Stop hook: generates summary via claude -p (Haiku), writes OSC title
  session-start.sh    # SessionStart hook: claims tab ownership for new session
  restore-title.sh    # UserPromptSubmit hook: re-applies saved title after Claude resets it
  statusline.sh       # Optional statusLine command to keep title persistent
  lib/
    project-slug.sh   # compute_project_slug(): CamelCase 2-chars-per-word slug
    session-title.sh  # last_custom_title(): reads the user's /rename title from the transcript
tests/
  run-tests.sh        # Runs every test-*.sh
  test-project-slug.sh
  test-session-start.sh
  test-session-title.sh
  lib/assert.sh       # Tiny test helpers

No build system or package manager — pure bash. Run bash tests/run-tests.sh.

Key Architecture Decisions

  • Non-blocking: set-tab-title.sh spawns a background subshell (disown) to avoid blocking Claude Code
  • Tab ownership: Uses /tmp/claude-tab-titles/owner-<TAB_KEY> to guard against stale writes landing in a new session's tab
  • TTY detection: Prefers $CMUX_SURFACE_ID (cmux multiplexer); falls back to stat -f '%Lr' /dev/tty
  • Title persistence: Saved to /tmp/claude-tab-titles/<session_id>; restored on UserPromptSubmit with 0.5s delay
  • Haiku model: claude-haiku-4-5-20251001 with --effort low and all hooks/sessions/tools disabled for speed
  • /rename override: /rename <name> writes {"type":"custom-title","customTitle":...} to the transcript (it fires no hook). The hooks read that, suppress Haiku, and record a <session>.rename marker until the user renames to a different value. Auto-generated "ai-title" entries are ignored — only explicit renames win. Behavior differs by terminal:
    • cmux already displays the renamed session natively, so the hooks just clear cc-tab-titles' own override (cmux tab-action --action clear-name) and defer to cmux — they do not set a competing title. session-start.sh does the same when resuming an already-named session, avoiding a project-name flash.
    • Other terminals have no native session name, so the rename value is written to the tab title via OSC.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
