cancel-loop

cancel-loop is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from gopherguides/gopher-ai. It costs 29 tokens per session (385 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A control for stopping an active persistent Go workflow loop. A workflow loop is an automated process that keeps running until it is cancelled.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when an ongoing Go workflow loop should end, optionally specifying the loop name.
Why use it?
It lets you stop one named loop or all loops owned by the current repository without affecting unrelated loop state.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for Claude Code and Codex: disable-model-invocation in frontmatter, but also agents/openai.yaml present. Also seen: mentions Claude Code; mentions Codex; $skill-name invocation.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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 1mo 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

Plugin Resource Resolution

<PLUGIN_ROOT> is notation. Replace it with a concrete absolute plugin root before every resource read or command:

  • Codex: Start from the directory containing the absolute selected SKILL.md path, then ascend two directories (skills/<name> -> plugin root).
  • Claude Code: Bind it to the injected ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} value.

Before cancellation, read <PLUGIN_ROOT>/lib/driver-interaction.md and follow its cross-platform capability-binding rules.

Bind the invocation arguments as SKILL_ARGS for $go-workflow:cancel-loop by reading <PLUGIN_ROOT>/lib/skill-arguments.md with this Claude Code compatibility payload: $ARGUMENTS

Invocation

  • Codex: $go-workflow:cancel-loop [loop-name]
  • Claude Code: /go-workflow:cancel-loop [loop-name]

With no loop name, cancel every active loop owned by the current repository. With a loop name, cancel only that loop and leave unrelated loop state untouched.

Execute Cancellation

if [ ! -x "<PLUGIN_ROOT>/scripts/cleanup-loop.sh" ]; then
  echo "ERROR: Plugin cache stale. Refresh the go-workflow plugin and restart the active assistant."
  exit 1
fi
/bin/bash "<PLUGIN_ROOT>/scripts/cleanup-loop.sh" "$SKILL_ARGS"

Report the helper output exactly. Do not claim a loop was removed when the helper reports that no matching active loop exists.

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
