cancel-loop

cancel-loop is a command for Claude Code from primeline-ai/claude-adaptive-research. It costs 7 tokens per session (114 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that stops an active automatic research loop. A research loop is a task that keeps running through repeated research steps without constant input.

In plain words
What is it for?
Cancelling the currently active research loop and removing its state file.
Why use it?
It gives you a direct way to stop the loop and clean up its saved state and tmux session. Tmux is a tool that keeps terminal processes running in the background.

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 9d 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

Stops the currently active research loop.

Steps

  1. Check if _autonomous/loop.state.md exists
  2. If yes:
    • Delete _autonomous/loop.state.md
    • Run tmux kill-session -t autorun 2>/dev/null to clean up any tmux session
    • Confirm: "Research loop cancelled. State file removed and tmux session killed."
  3. If no: "No active research loop found."
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.
