# rename-chat

> **Origin:** converted from a Cursor built-in skill (`~/.cursor/skills-cursor/rename-chat/`). Calls a Cursor app-control tool; in VS Code Copilot, chat naming is handled by the product. Body kept for reference.


Slash-only. Text after `/rename-chat` is an optional naming hint, not a verbatim title.

Pick a 3-5 word topic title in sentence case: first letter uppercase, rest lowercase except acronyms and proper nouns. Hint steers wording only. Example: hint `billing retries` → `Billing retries`. Avoid "Chat", "Conversation", or "Rename chat". At most 200 characters.

Call `cursor-app-control.rename_chat` once with that title. Do not ask for confirmation. If the tool is missing or fails, say so plainly and do not claim the chat was renamed.
