SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Chat sessions in Cursor accumulate with generic or unclear titles, making it hard to find past conversations. This Skill renames the current chat to a concise topic title that reflects its actual focus. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Slash-command invocation: Runs only when the user explicitly types /rename-chat, never automatically. - Optional naming hint: Text after the command steers the generated title without being used verbatim. - Title conventions: Produces a 3-5 word sentence-case title, avoiding generic labels like "Chat" or "Rename chat". - Use Case: After a long debugging session about billing retry logic, type /rename-chat billing retries and the chat becomes "Billing retries". ## Quick Start Type /rename-chat followed by an optional topic hint to rename the current chat to match its focus.

FAQPage Schema
How do I rename a chat in Cursor?

Type /rename-chat in the chat input, optionally followed by a topic hint. The Skill generates a 3-5 word sentence-case title and calls the cursor-app-control rename_chat tool once to apply it.

Does the text after /rename-chat become the exact title?

No, the text after /rename-chat is only a naming hint that steers the wording. The Skill generates its own 3-5 word sentence-case title based on the chat's focus, so the hint is not used verbatim.

Can the rename-chat skill run automatically without the command?

No, it is slash-only with model invocation disabled. It activates exclusively when the user explicitly types /rename-chat and never triggers on its own.

What happens if the rename_chat tool fails or is missing?

The Skill reports the failure plainly and does not claim the chat was renamed. It does not retry or ask for confirmation before the single tool call.

What are the title format rules for renaming chats?

Titles must be 3-5 words in sentence case, with only the first letter capitalized except for acronyms and proper nouns. They must avoid generic words like "Chat" or "Conversation" and stay under 200 characters.
