Cancel Swarm
Stop any active swarm workers.
Works with all swarm commands: /implement-swarm, /plan-swarm.
Note: Loop and swarm commands are interchangeable - use /cancel-swarm for swarms and /cancel-loop for loops.
Instructions
- Call TaskList to see all tasks and their status
- For any tasks with status
in_progress: - Note the owner (worker name)
- The worker may still be running
- Use TaskStop to halt any background workers still active
- Report:
- Completed tasks: N
- In-progress (interrupted): N
- Pending (not started): N
If no in-progress tasks found:
- Say "No active swarm found."
After Cancellation
Task progress is preserved:
- Completed tasks remain completed
- In-progress tasks may complete if worker finishes
- Pending tasks remain pending
To check task status:
TaskList
Note
Unlike loop cancellation, swarm workers are independent agents. If a worker completed its current task before cancellation, that work is saved.
