Stop a runaway Ralph-style autonomous agent loop in Cursor plugins when iteration should end before wasted tokens, bad diffs, or off-scope changes accumulate.
About
cancel-ralph provides an emergency stop for Ralph-style autonomous agent loops inside cursor/plugins, letting developers halt iterative agent runs before they waste tokens, produce unwanted diffs, or drift from the task. It is agent lifecycle control for Cursor plugin workflows.
- Halts autonomous Ralph loops on demand
- Prevents unbounded agent iteration spend
- Protects repo from off-scope agent edits
- Integrates with Cursor plugin agent runtime
- Operator control for long-running tasks
