Sketch types, signatures, and module structure before code, then stay in the loop while implementation fills in. Use for /architect, 'architect this', 'design this', or non-trivial work where jumping to code would lock in the wrong shape.
Spawn N parallel candidates at the same task, pick a base, graft the strongest parts of the losers into it. Use for /arena, 'arena this', 'throw it in the arena', or when one attempt at a non-trivial artifact would lock in the wrong shape.
Use for "how does X work", code walkthroughs before changing something, and placement / ownership / layering questions ("where should this live", "which package owns this", "is this the right layer"). Explains subsystem architecture, runtime flow, onboarding mental models. Can critique architecture. Use why for motivation.

The user wants to cancel or stop an active Ralph loop.
Check if .cursor/ralph/scratchpad.md exists.
If it does not exist: Tell the user "No active Ralph loop found."
If it exists:
.cursor/ralph/scratchpad.md to get the current iteration from the iteration: field.rm -rf .cursor/ralph
A short confirmation with the iteration count, or a message that no loop was active.
