Cancel Ralph Skill

Cancel an active Ralph Loop session.

Detection Patterns

This skill activates when the user says things like:

• "cancel ralph"
• "stop ralph loop"
• "end the ralph loop"
• "abort ralph loop"

Behavior

When activated:

1. Check for active loop:

   • Look for .claude/ralph-loop.local.md

2. If active:

   • Read current state (mode, iteration count)
   • Delete the state file
   • Confirm cancellation

3. If not active:

   • Inform user no loop is running

Implementation

Copyif [ -f ".claude/ralph-loop.local.md" ]; then
    rm .claude/ralph-loop.local.md
    echo "Ralph Loop cancelled."
else
    echo "No active Ralph Loop found."
fi

Notes

• Cancellation is immediate
• Work in progress is preserved
• Use /ralph-loop to start a new loop
