Iterm Label

Category: Engineering  ·  Sub-category: frontend  ·  Last updated:
Set or change the per-iTerm2-session label — both the window/tab title AND the badge (watermark) for THIS iTerm2 pane only. Use when the user wants a custom name for this specific tab ("call this tab 'deploy debugging'", "label this session 'prod work'", "set the badge to 'frontend'"). Title and badge always share the same string in this skill (per Steve's design — banner and watermark should match). Edits ~/.claude/hooks/iterm-status.d/<session>.conf which is LOCAL ONLY (gitignored, not pushed). For changing colors instead, use /iterm-colors.

From the source SKILL.md

Sets one shared string as both the iTerm2 badge (top-right watermark) and the window/tab title for THIS iTerm2 session only. Other tabs / panes are unaffected. Local-only — does NOT commit/push (session IDs change across iTerm2 restarts, so committing would just accumulate dead files).

What this skill does

Iterm Label is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the frontend sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/iterm-label/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when the user wants a custom name for this specific tab ("call this tab 'deploy debugging'", "label this session 'prod work'", "set the badge to 'frontend'"). Title and badge always share the same string in this skill (per Steve's design — banner and watermark should match).
