Cancel Auto Command

Project Overrides

!s="cancel-auto"; for d in .specweave/skill-memories .claude/skill-memories "$HOME/.claude/skill-memories"; do p="$d/$s.md"; [ -f "$p" ] && awk '/^## Learnings$/{ok=1;next}/^## /{ok=0}ok' "$p" && break; done 2>/dev/null; true

⚠️ EMERGENCY USE ONLY - Manually cancel the running auto session.

Note: Auto mode is designed to run until completion. In most cases, just close the Claude Code session and resume later with /sw:do. Only use this command in true emergencies.

Options

Option	Description
--force	Cancel without confirmation

What It Does

1. Checks if auto session is active
2. Shows current session status
3. Asks for confirmation (unless --force)
4. Updates session status to "cancelled"

💡 To resume work later, just run /sw:do

Execution

When this command is invoked:

bash plugins/specweave/scripts/cancel-auto.sh [args]

Notes

• This command should rarely be needed - auto mode is designed to run until completion
• Preferred approach: Just close the Claude Code session to pause, resume later with /sw:do
• Cancelling doesn't undo completed work
• tasks.md progress is preserved
• You can resume anytime with /sw:do
• Use Claude Code's /resume to restore full conversation context

When to Use

Use cancel-auto only for:

• True emergencies (system resources, critical bugs)
• Need to force-stop a runaway session

DON'T use for:

• Normal pause/resume (just close Claude Code)
• Switching contexts (close tab, resume later)
• Profile switches (not supported - wrong concept)
