Rename the current session in Grok Build

/rename (alias /title) sets the display name for the active session so the welcome screen and /resume picker stay readable. Official: Modes and Commands, Sessions.

Rename in the TUI

1. Start or resume the session you want to label.
2. Run either form with a short name:

/rename auth-middleware rewrite
/title auth-middleware rewrite

3. Confirm the new title shows on the welcome screen and in /sessions.

Rename from the sessions picker

/sessions can switch, rename, or close active sessions in one place — use it when you need to label a peer session without leaving the picker. Full session lifecycle: Manage sessions in Grok Build.

CLI search after rename

Titles are searchable from the shell:

grok sessions list
grok sessions search auth-middleware

Pitfalls

• Renaming does not fork the conversation or change the on-disk session UUID — /fork and --fork-session create a peer id.
• A blank or missing name leaves the default auto title; pass a concrete label when you care about the picker later.
