cancel-loop

A command that stops an active persistent loop, meaning an automated task that keeps running until it reaches its stopping condition.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when an automated task should stop, when you need to exit normally, or when you want to restart the task later.
Why use it?
It lets you end a loop that is still running and return the session to normal behavior. You can cancel every active loop or name one specific loop.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

cancel-loop 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 2d 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.

What it actually says

Cancel Loop

Cancel the currently active persistent loop and allow normal session behavior.

Usage:

  • /cancel-loop - Cancel all active loops
  • /cancel-loop <name> - Cancel a specific loop by name

Execute Cancellation

!if [ -x "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/cleanup-loop.sh" ]; then "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/cleanup-loop.sh" "$ARGUMENTS"; else echo "ERROR: Plugin cache stale. Run /gopher-ai-refresh (or refresh-plugins.sh) and restart Claude Code."; exit 1; fi

Result

The loop has been cancelled. You can now exit the session normally or start a new task.

If you want to restart the previous task, you can run the original command again.

Changes

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.
