Conversation
Replace cobra.ExactArgs(1) with a custom exactlyOneArg() validator that shows the command's required argument, usage line, and examples when the user forgets the positional arg. This keeps SilenceUsage=true globally (no usage dump on runtime errors) while giving clear guidance on arg validation failures. Commands updated: channels get, channels search, channels members, users get, users search, files read, emojis search, canvases read. Also changes bare `users` (no subcommand) to show help instead of silently running `users list`. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
