/stop — Stop the Research Loop

Gracefully stop the running research loop and capture the final state.

Steps

1. Check current status:

   pixi run researcher-status
   

   If not running, report and stop.

2. Capture a pre-stop snapshot:

   pixi run researcher-snapshot --label pre-stop
   

3. Stop the process:

   pixi run researcher-stop
   

4. Capture final snapshot:

   pixi run researcher-snapshot --label final
   

5. Report final state:

   • Last metric value from history
   • Number of snapshots captured
   • Research loop's results.tsv if it exists (in the research loop repo)
   • Summary: how many iterations ran, best metric achieved

After Stopping

To restart with a modified approach:

1. Use /edit-prompts to modify the research loop's SKILL.md or agent definitions
2. Use /start-research to restart

To revert the supervised repo's code:

pixi run researcher-revert-safe

To restore a previous best state:

pixi run researcher-restore best
