Cancel Ralph Mode

Stop ralph mode immediately by marking all PRD tasks as complete or deleting the PRD.

When to Use

  • User wants to stop autonomous processing
  • Tasks are stuck or going in wrong direction
  • Need to start fresh with different approach

Actions

  1. Check for PRD file at .deep/prd.json

  2. Option A: Mark all complete (preserves history)

    // For each task, set:
{
  "passes": true,
  "completedAt": "[timestamp]",
  "skippedReason": "Cancelled by user"
}

  3. Option B: Delete PRD (clean slate)

    rm .deep/prd.json

  4. Clean up state files

    • Update .deep/state.json to { "complete": true, "phase": "CANCELLED" }

  5. Confirm cancellation

    Ralph mode cancelled. [N] tasks were pending.
PRD file: [preserved/deleted]

Example

User: /cancel-ralph

Response:

Cancelling ralph mode...

Found 5 tasks in PRD:
- 2 completed
- 3 pending (now marked as skipped)

PRD preserved at .deep/prd.json with skip reasons.
State reset. You can now exit cleanly.
