/exit

Exits the CLI.

In an attached background session, only the connection is closed; the session keeps running. Alias: /quit.

✅ WHEN TO USE IT?

Cleanly end the session once the task is done

/exit after finishing the work

⛔ WHEN NOT TO?

Actually wanting to stop an attached background session

in an attached background session, /exit only disconnects — the session keeps running

Better: manage/stop the background session via 'claude agents' instead of just /exit
