.claude/skills/session-naming/# Aura Session Naming Set descriptive session names in the Aura HUD to help users track what each session is working on. ## Command ```bash aura set-name "<name>" ``` ## Rules ### Session name = Overall goal, optionally with current step The session name should describe **what we're trying to accomplish**. For larger tasks with distinct phases, use `Task - Step` format. - Simple task: "Fix Login" (stays the same throughout) - Multi-phase task: "Add Auth - Write Tests" → "Add Auth - Integration" (task stays, step updates) Use `Task - Step` format when: - The task has 3+ distinct phases (design, implement, test, deploy) - Each phase takes significant time - User benefits from knowing current progress ### MUST set session name when: 1. User requests a task (e.g., "fix the login bug", "add dark mode") 2. Starting work from a plan file 3. User explicitly asks to name the session ### DO NOT set/change session name when: - Exploring code or answering questions - Moving to the next step of the same task - Running commands as part of the current task - Name already reflects the current goal ## Naming Rules | Rule | Good | Bad | |------|------|-----| | 2-6 words | "Fix Login Auth Flow" | "Fix the authentication bug in the login system" | | Start with verb | "Add Export" | "Export Feature" | | No filler words | "Refactor API" | "Refactor the API Layer" | | No paths/files | "Update Config" | "Update src/config.ts" | | No jargon | "Speed Up Search" | "Optimize O(n²)" | ## Examples | User Request | Session Name | |--------------|--------------| | "Fix the bug where login fails" | "Fix Login" | | "Add a button to export data" | "Add Export" | | "Refactor the authentication code" | "Refactor Auth" | | "Add dark mode to the app" | "Add Dark Mode" | | "Help me understand this code" | (don't set) | | "Run the tests" | (don't set) | | Large feature with phases | "Add Auth - Design" → "Add Auth - Implement" → "Add Auth - Test" | ## Patterns - `Fix [Thing]` → "Fix Login",
