pi-exit

/exit for pi — because freedom isn't just in the license.

The Problem

Claude Code uses /exit.

pi uses /quit.

This isn't an accident. It's a devious user retention strategy.

After years of muscle memory, thousands of developers instinctively type /exit when they want to leave. In pi, that does nothing. You're trapped. Forced to remember a different command just to escape.

It's the software equivalent of a hotel with no obvious exit signs — "free as in beer," but not "free as in 'am I free to leave?'"

The Solution

pi-exit adds /exit as a first-class command (alias for the built-in /quit).

Install it once and you're finally free to leave whenever you want.

No more "wait, what was the command again?" moments. No more retention through friction.

This is what real free software looks like.

Installation

Recommended

pi install npm:@ai-ecoverse/pi-exit

Then run /reload inside pi.

Quick local test

pi -e ~/Developer/ai-ecoverse/pi-exit

Uninstall

pi remove npm:@ai-ecoverse/pi-exit

Usage

Just type:

/exit

It will exit pi the same way /quit does — only now it respects your muscle memory.

Development

The extension source is a single file:

• index.ts — registers the /exit command using pi.registerCommand()

Free as in "I can leave now."
