Test it
Using "terminal-title". Session starts in a repository named billing-api.
Expected outcome:
The terminal title becomes a work emoji, Billing API, and Claude Code.
Using "terminal-title". The conversation shifts from frontend styling to database migrations.
Expected outcome:
The terminal title changes to the project name and Database Migrations.
Using "terminal-title". No custom emoji is set in the environment.
Expected outcome:
The terminal title uses the fallback emoji with the detected project and topic.
Security Audit
Low RiskI found no malicious code or prompt injection in the audited files. The static findings mostly match Markdown examples, comments, shell syntax, terminal device writes, and control-character sanitizers. The remaining concern is that the skill encourages silent pre-approved local command execution for title updates.
