Cancel Feature Retry

Cancel an active feature implementation retry loop.

Step 1: Check for Active Loop

Check for the pointer file:

test -f .shipspec/active-loop.local.json && echo "POINTER_EXISTS" || echo "NOT_FOUND"

If NOT_FOUND:

"No active feature retry loop found."

Stop here.

If POINTER_EXISTS: Read the pointer file and verify it's a feature-retry:

jq -r '.loop_type // empty' .shipspec/active-loop.local.json

If loop_type is NOT "feature-retry":

"No active feature retry loop found. (A different loop type is active)"

Stop here.

Step 2: Read Current State

Extract the state path from the pointer:

jq -r '.state_path // empty' .shipspec/active-loop.local.json

Parse the state file (JSON) to extract:

jq -r '.current_task_id // empty' [state_path]
jq -r '.feature // empty' [state_path]
jq -r '.task_attempt // 0' [state_path]
jq -r '.max_task_attempts // 5' [state_path]
jq -r '.tasks_completed // 0' [state_path]
jq -r '.total_tasks // 0' [state_path]

• current_task_id - the task being implemented
• feature - the feature name
• task_attempt - current attempt number for the task
• max_task_attempts - maximum attempts per task
• tasks_completed - number of completed tasks
• total_tasks - total number of tasks

Step 3: Cancel the Loop

Remove both the state file and pointer:

rm -f [state_path] .shipspec/active-loop.local.json

Step 4: Report

"Cancelled feature retry for [FEATURE]

• Current task: [CURRENT_TASK_ID] (attempt [TASK_ATTEMPT]/[MAX_TASK_ATTEMPTS])
• Progress: [TASKS_COMPLETED]/[TOTAL_TASKS] tasks completed

The current task remains in in_progress status in TASKS.json. Run /implement-feature [feature] to resume, or /implement-task [feature] to continue task-by-task."
