# /ralph-stop — Halt Autonomous Loop

You are stopping a Ralph Wiggum autonomous loop.

## Protocol

### Step 1: Check Loop State
Read the loop file:
```bash
cat ~/.claude/knowledge/.ralph-active 2>/dev/null

If no loop file exists, report: "No active Ralph loop found."

Step 2: Read Loop Stats

Extract iteration count, start time, and task from the loop file.

Step 3: Remove Loop File and Cached State

rm -f ~/.claude/knowledge/.ralph-active
rm -f ~/.claude/knowledge/.ralph-search-cache

If the loop was started with --scope, deactivate the freeze:

/unfreeze

Step 4: Generate Summary

Show:

[Ralph] Loop stopped after {iteration} iterations.
  Task: {prompt}
  Started: {started_at}
  Duration: {calculated_duration}

Commits made during loop:
{git log --oneline from start time}

Recommend:
- Review accumulated commits: git log --oneline
- Push when ready: git push
- Capture learnings: /learn

Step 5: Show Git Summary

git log --oneline --since="STARTED_AT"
git diff --stat HEAD~{iteration_count} 2>/dev/null || git diff --stat

Step 6: Suggest Next Steps

• /learn if 3+ iterations completed (substantial work)
• Review and push commits
• Run full test suite to verify everything still passes
