RU: Stop

EXECUTE IMMEDIATELY: Use the Bash tool to run the following script.

/usr/bin/env bash << 'RALPH_UNIVERSAL_STOP'
PROJECT_DIR="${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR:-$(pwd)}"

echo "Stopping RU loop..."

# Set state to stopped
STATE_FILE="$PROJECT_DIR/.claude/ru-state.json"
if [[ -d "$PROJECT_DIR/.claude" ]]; then
    echo '{"state": "stopped"}' > "$STATE_FILE"
fi

# Create kill switch for redundancy
touch "$PROJECT_DIR/.claude/STOP_LOOP"

# Update config if exists
CONFIG_FILE="$PROJECT_DIR/.claude/ru-config.json"
if [[ -f "$CONFIG_FILE" ]]; then
    jq '.state = "stopped"' "$CONFIG_FILE" > "$CONFIG_FILE.tmp" && mv "$CONFIG_FILE.tmp" "$CONFIG_FILE"
fi

# Clean up markers
rm -f "$PROJECT_DIR/.claude/ru-start-timestamp"

# Create global stop signal
echo '{"state": "stopped", "timestamp": "'$(date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ)'"}' > "$HOME/.claude/ru-global-stop.json"

echo ""
echo "RU: STOPPED"
echo "Project: $PROJECT_DIR"
RALPH_UNIVERSAL_STOP

After execution, confirm the loop has been stopped.

Troubleshooting

Issue	Cause	Solution
Loop continues running	Hook still active	Wait for current iteration to finish
State file not created	.claude dir missing	Create with mkdir -p .claude
jq error	Config file malformed	Delete and recreate config file
Permission denied	File not writable	Check directory permissions
Global stop not working	Different project dir	Ensure CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR is correct
