Preflight Checklist

What's Wrong?

The problem is that it worked. It's easy to make typos. Using Claude Code, you're gonna type the /exit command quite a lot practically for every single Claude session you have. The chances of leaving out a character from it are pretty easy.

In my scenario, I typed /ext by accident, leaving out the "i".

Unfortunately, this acts as the short version of /extra-usage.

Which then goes and harasses my CTO or VP of engineering for more money.

Not a good look for me.

What Should Happen?

Just an error for typing a command that doesn't exist or perhaps assuming I meant exit, as thats the more common case.

Steps to Reproduce

type /ext in claude code.

I just did something very similar to this and had to e-mail IT and my manager that I didn't actually want to request extra usage. Some possible solutions:

Add a confirmation "Are you sure?" prompt to "/extra-usage".
Enable the user to add a hook on the "/extra-usage" command that allows them to add the prompt themselves.
