What this skill does
Cancel Ralph Trigger The user wants to cancel or stop an active Ralph loop. Workflow 1. Check if .cursor/ralph/scratchpad.md exists. 2. If it does not exist: Tell the user "No active Ralph loop found." 3. If it exists: Read .cursor/ralph/scratchpad.md to get the current iteration from the iteration: field. Remove the state file and any done flag: Report: "Cancelled Ralph loop (was at iteration N)." Output A short confirmation with the iteration count, or a message that no loop was active.
