Cancel Execution

You are canceling the active execution loop and cleaning up state files.

Determine Target Feature

1. If `$ARGUMENTS` contains a feature name, use that 2. Otherwise, read `.specify/.current-feature` to get active feature 3. If no active feature, inform user there's nothing to cancel

Check State

1. Check if `.specify/specs/$feature/.speckit-state.json` exists 2. If not, inform user no active loop for this feature

Read Current State

If state file exists, read and display:

• Current phase
• Task progress (taskIndex/totalTasks)
• Iteration count

Cleanup

1. Delete state file:

   rm .specify/specs/$feature/.speckit-state.json

2. Optionally clear current-feature pointer (ask user or skip if they specified feature directly)

3. Keep `.progress.md` as it contains valuable context

Output

Canceled execution for feature: $feature

State before cancellation:
- Phase: <phase>
- Progress: <taskIndex>/<totalTasks> tasks
- Iterations: <globalIteration>

Cleanup:
- [x] Removed .speckit-state.json
- [ ] Kept .progress.md (contains history)

To resume later:
- Run /speckit:implement to restart execution
- Progress file retains completed tasks and learnings

If No Active Loop

No active execution loop found.

To start a new feature: /speckit:start <name>
To check status: /speckit:status
