Cancel Skill
Intelligent cancellation that detects and cancels the active OMC mode.
What It Does
Automatically detects which mode is active and cancels it:
Autopilot: Stops workflow, preserves progress for resume Ralph: Stops persistence loop, clears linked ultrawork if applicable Ultrawork: Stops parallel execution (standalone or linked) Ecomode: Stops token-efficient parallel execution (standalone or linked to ralph) UltraQA: Stops QA cycling workflow Swarm: Stops coordinated agent swarm, releases claimed tasks Ultrapilot: Stops parallel autopilot workers Pipeline: Stops sequential agent pipeline Usage /oh-my-claudecode:cancel
Or say: "stop", "cancel", "abort"
Auto-Detection
The skill checks state files to determine what's active:
.omc/state/autopilot-state.json → Autopilot detected .omc/state/ralph-state.json → Ralph detected .omc/state/ultrawork-state.json → Ultrawork detected .omc/state/ecomode-state.json → Ecomode detected .omc/state/ultraqa-state.json → UltraQA detected .omc/state/swarm.db → Swarm detected (SQLite database) .omc/state/ultrapilot-state.json → Ultrapilot detected .omc/state/pipeline-state.json → Pipeline detected .omc/state/plan-consensus.json → Plan Consensus detected .omc/state/ralplan-state.json → Plan Consensus detected (legacy)
If multiple modes are active, they're cancelled in order of dependency:
Autopilot (includes ralph/ultraqa/ecomode cleanup) Ralph (includes linked ultrawork OR ecomode cleanup) Ultrawork (standalone) Ecomode (standalone) UltraQA (standalone) Swarm (standalone) Ultrapilot (standalone) Pipeline (standalone) Plan Consensus (standalone) Force Clear All
To clear ALL state files regardless of what's active:
/oh-my-claudecode:cancel --force
Or use the --all alias:
/oh-my-claudecode:cancel --all
This removes all state files:
.omc/state/autopilot-state.json .omc/state/ralph-state.json .omc/state/ultrawork-state.json .omc/state/ecomode-state.json .omc/state/ultraqa-state.json .omc/state/swarm.db .omc/state/swarm.db-wal .omc/state/swarm.db-shm .omc/state/swarm-active.marker .omc/state/ultrapilot-state.json .omc/state/pipeline-state.json .omc/state/plan-consensus.json .omc/state/ralplan-state.json ~/.claude/ralph-state.json ~/.claude/ultrawork-state.json ~/.claude/ecomode-state.json Implementation Steps
When you invoke this skill:
- Parse Arguments
Check for --force or --all flags
FORCE_MODE=false if [[ "$" == "--force" ]] || [[ "$" == "--all" ]]; then FORCE_MODE=true fi
- Detect Active Modes
Check which modes are active
AUTOPILOT_ACTIVE=false RALPH_ACTIVE=false ULTRAWORK_ACTIVE=false ECOMODE_ACTIVE=false ULTRAQA_ACTIVE=false
if [[ -f .omc/state/autopilot-state.json ]]; then AUTOPILOT_ACTIVE=$(cat .omc/state/autopilot-state.json | jq -r '.active // false') fi
if [[ -f .omc/state/ralph-state.json ]]; then RALPH_ACTIVE=$(cat .omc/state/ralph-state.json | jq -r '.active // false') fi
if [[ -f .omc/state/ultrawork-state.json ]]; then ULTRAWORK_ACTIVE=$(cat .omc/state/ultrawork-state.json | jq -r '.active // false') fi
if [[ -f .omc/state/ecomode-state.json ]]; then ECOMODE_ACTIVE=$(cat .omc/state/ecomode-state.json | jq -r '.active // false') fi
if [[ -f .omc/state/ultraqa-state.json ]]; then ULTRAQA_ACTIVE=$(cat .omc/state/ultraqa-state.json | jq -r '.active // false') fi
PLAN_CONSENSUS_ACTIVE=false
Check both new and legacy locations
if [[ -f .omc/state/plan-consensus.json ]]; then PLAN_CONSENSUS_ACTIVE=$(cat .omc/state/plan-consensus.json | jq -r '.active // false') elif [[ -f .omc/state/ralplan-state.json ]]; then PLAN_CONSENSUS_ACTIVE=$(cat .omc/state/ralplan-state.json | jq -r '.active // false') fi
3A. Force Mode (if --force or --all) if [[ "$FORCE_MODE" == "true" ]]; then echo "FORCE CLEAR: Removing all OMC state files..."
# Remove local state files rm -f .omc/state/autopilot-state.json rm -f .omc/state/ralph-state.json rm -f .omc/state/ultrawork-state.json rm -f .omc/state/ecomode-state.json rm -f .omc/state/ultraqa-state.json rm -f .omc/state/ralph-plan-state.json rm -f .omc/state/ralph-verification.json rm -f .omc/state/swarm.db rm -f .omc/state/swarm.db-wal rm -f .omc/state/swarm.db-shm rm -f .omc/state/swarm-active.marker rm -f .omc/state/ultrapilot-state.json rm -f .omc/state/pipeline-state.json rm -f .omc/state/plan-consensus.json rm -f .omc/state/ralplan-state.json

echo "All OMC modes cleared. You are free to start fresh." exit 0 fi
3B. Smart Cancellation (default) If Autopilot Active
Call cancelAutopilot() from src/hooks/autopilot/cancel.ts:27-78:
Autopilot handles its own cleanup + ralph + ultraqa
Just mark autopilot as inactive (preserves state for resume)
if [[ -f .omc/state/autopilot-state.json ]]; then # Clean up ralph if active if [[ -f .omc/state/ralph-state.json ]]; then RALPH_STATE=$(cat .omc/state/ralph-state.json) LINKED_UW=$(echo "$RALPH_STATE" | jq -r '.linked_ultrawork // false')
# Clean linked ultrawork first
if [[ "$LINKED_UW" == "true" ]] && [[ -f .omc/state/ultrawork-state.json ]]; then
rm -f .omc/state/ultrawork-state.json
rm -f ~/.claude/ultrawork-state.json
echo "Cleaned up: ultrawork (linked to ralph)"
fi
# Clean ralph
rm -f .omc/state/ralph-state.json
rm -f ~/.claude/ralph-state.json
rm -f .omc/state/ralph-verification.json
echo "Cleaned up: ralph"
fi
# Clean up ultraqa if active if [[ -f .omc/state/ultraqa-state.json ]]; then rm -f .omc/state/ultraqa-state.json echo "Cleaned up: ultraqa" fi
# Mark autopilot inactive but preserve state CURRENT_STATE=$(cat .omc/state/autopilot-state.json) CURRENT_PHASE=$(echo "$CURRENT_STATE" | jq -r '.phase // "unknown"') echo "$CURRENT_STATE" | jq '.active = false' > .omc/state/autopilot-state.json
echo "Autopilot cancelled at phase: $CURRENT_PHASE. Progress preserved for resume." echo "Run /oh-my-claudecode:autopilot to resume." fi
If Ralph Active (but not Autopilot)
Call clearRalphState() + clearLinkedUltraworkState() from src/hooks/ralph-loop/index.ts:147-182:
if [[ -f .omc/state/ralph-state.json ]]; then # Check if ultrawork is linked RALPH_STATE=$(cat .omc/state/ralph-state.json) LINKED_UW=$(echo "$RALPH_STATE" | jq -r '.linked_ultrawork // false')
# Clean linked ultrawork first if [[ "$LINKED_UW" == "true" ]] && [[ -f .omc/state/ultrawork-state.json ]]; then UW_STATE=$(cat .omc/state/ultrawork-state.json) UW_LINKED=$(echo "$UW_STATE" | jq -r '.linked_to_ralph // false')
# Only clear if it was linked to ralph
if [[ "$UW_LINKED" == "true" ]]; then
rm -f .omc/state/ultrawork-state.json
rm -f ~/.claude/ultrawork-state.json

echo "Ralph cancelled. Persistent mode deactivated." fi
If Ultrawork Active (standalone, not linked)
Call deactivateUltrawork() from src/hooks/ultrawork/index.ts:150-173:
if [[ -f .omc/state/ultrawork-state.json ]]; then # Check if linked to ralph UW_STATE=$(cat .omc/state/ultrawork-state.json) LINKED=$(echo "$UW_STATE" | jq -r '.linked_to_ralph // false')
if [[ "$LINKED" == "true" ]]; then echo "Ultrawork is linked to Ralph. Use /oh-my-claudecode:cancel to cancel both." exit 1 fi
# Remove both local and global state rm -f .omc/state/ultrawork-state.json rm -f ~/.claude/ultrawork-state.json
echo "Ultrawork cancelled. Parallel execution mode deactivated." fi
If UltraQA Active (standalone)
Call clearUltraQAState() from src/hooks/ultraqa/index.ts:107-120:
if [[ -f .omc/state/ultraqa-state.json ]]; then rm -f .omc/state/ultraqa-state.json echo "UltraQA cancelled. QA cycling workflow stopped." fi
No Active Modes echo "No active OMC modes detected." echo "" echo "Checked for:" echo " - Autopilot (.omc/state/autopilot-state.json)" echo " - Ralph (.omc/state/ralph-state.json)" echo " - Ultrawork (.omc/state/ultrawork-state.json)" echo " - UltraQA (.omc/state/ultraqa-state.json)" echo "" echo "Use --force to clear all state files anyway."
