Cancel PRP Ralph Loop

Mission

Cancel an active Ralph loop. Preserve all work done so far — only remove the state file.

Step 1: Check Loop Status

test -f .prp-output/state/ralph.state.md && echo "ACTIVE" || echo "NOT_FOUND"

Result	Action
NOT_FOUND	Report: "No active Ralph loop found." STOP.
ACTIVE	Proceed to Step 2.

Step 2: Read Current State

head -20 .prp-output/state/ralph.state.md

Extract from YAML frontmatter:

• iteration: current iteration number
• plan_path: path to the plan being executed

Step 3: Remove State File

rm .prp-output/state/ralph.state.md

Step 4: Report

## Ralph Loop Cancelled

**Was at**: Iteration {N}
**Plan**: {plan_path}

The loop has been stopped. Your work so far is preserved in:
- Modified files (check `git status`)
- Git commits (if any were made)

To resume later:
- Run `/prp-ralph {plan_path}` to start fresh
- Or continue manually with `/prp-implement {plan_path}`

Success Criteria

• LOOP_DETECTED: State file checked for existence
• STATE_REMOVED: .prp-output/state/ralph.state.md deleted (if existed)
• WORK_PRESERVED: No code changes reverted — only state file removed
