Problem or unmet use case
Claudian 2.2.5 on macOS (Obsidian 1.13). Thanks for the plugin — it has become my daily working environment inside the vault.
What happens now. The conversation title is generated once from the first messages (enableAutoTitleGeneration). There is a manual "regenerate title" button on the session
row, and a manual rename. Both work fine.
The problem. A long working session often moves through several unrelated topics:
today one conversation went from a contract, to a maintenance run of the
vault, to a printable to-do list in Excel. The sidebar still shows the title from the
first topic ("Vault"), so when I come back later I can't tell from the session list what
the conversation actually contains — and the manual button asks the model to summarise
the whole conversation, not the current topic.
Proposal. An optional setting "Update title as the conversation evolves":
-
After every N assistant turns (or when the last K messages no longer match the
current title — cheap check with the same small model used for title generation),
regenerate the title from the most recent part of the conversation, not from
the beginning.
-
Keep the manual rename as an override: a title the user typed is never replaced
automatically (a titleLocked flag, set by manual rename, cleared by the regenerate
button).
-
Optional: keep the earlier titles as a breadcrumb in the hover tooltip
("Contract → Maintenance → Excel to-do"), so the history of the session stays visible.
Why it matters. With auto-titles that follow the work, the session list becomes a
readable log of what was done, and I can find the right conversation days later without
opening each one.
Happy to test a beta on macOS.
Desired outcome
When a conversation moves on to a different topic, its title in the Sessions sidebar should follow: a session that started as "Performance contract" and later turned into a vault maintenance run and then an Excel to-do list should not still be called "Vault" the next day. The desired result is that the session list stays a readable log of what each conversation is actually about, so I can find the right one days later without opening each. A title I typed myself should stay as it is; only automatically generated titles should update. How often or by what trigger the title refreshes is up to you — a small, cheap model and a setting to turn the behaviour off would be enough.
