VibeTunnel Terminal Title Management

VibeTunnel Terminal Title Management

When working in VibeTunnel sessions, actively use the vt title command to communicate your current actions and progress:

Usage

vt title "Current action - project context"

Guidelines

  • Update frequently: Set the title whenever you start a new task, change focus, or make significant progress
  • Be descriptive: Use the title to explain what you're currently doing (e.g., "Analyzing test failures", "Refactoring auth module", "Writing documentation")
  • Include context: Add PR numbers, file names, or feature names when relevant
  • Think of it as a status indicator: The title helps users understand what you're working on at a glance
  • If vt command fails (only works inside VibeTunnel), simply ignore the error and continue

Examples

# When starting a task
vt title "Setting up Git app integration"

# When debugging
vt title "Debugging CI failures - playwright tests"

# When working on a PR
vt title "Implementing unique session names - github.com/amantus-ai/vibetunnel/pull/456"

# When analyzing code
vt title "Analyzing session-manager.ts for race conditions"

# When writing tests
vt title "Adding tests for GitAppLauncher"

When to Update

  • At the start of each new task or subtask
  • When switching between different files or modules
  • When changing from coding to testing/debugging
  • When waiting for long-running operations (builds, tests)
  • Whenever the user might wonder "what is Claude doing right now?"

This helps users track your progress across multiple VibeTunnel sessions and understand your current focus.
