What is cancel-ralph?

A command for stopping an active Ralph Wiggum loop, a repeated agent-work cycle tracked by a local project file.

It checks for the project’s Ralph loop state file, reads the iteration number, removes the file, and reports the cancellation.

It ends the loop and reports its current iteration, or confirms that no active loop exists.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00007	$0.00312
Opus 5.5	$0.00003	$0.00125
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00001	$0.00062
Haiku 4.5	$0.00001	$0.00031

Security

Grade A, and why

cancel-ralph scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

88% identical to cancel-ralph — 12 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

Cancel Ralph

To cancel the Ralph loop:

Check if .claude/ralph-loop.local.md exists using Bash:
- On Unix-like systems (Linux, macOS, WSL): test -f .claude/ralph-loop.local.md && echo "EXISTS" || echo "NOT_FOUND"
- On PowerShell: if (Test-Path .claude/ralph-loop.local.md) { "EXISTS" } else { "NOT_FOUND" }
If NOT_FOUND: Say "No active Ralph loop found."
If EXISTS:
- Read .claude/ralph-loop.local.md to get the current iteration number from the iteration: field
- Remove the file:
  - On Unix-like systems: rm .claude/ralph-loop.local.md
  - On PowerShell: Remove-Item .claude/ralph-loop.local.md -Force
- Report: "Cancelled Ralph loop (was at iteration N)" where N is the iteration value

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
