What happens when I run the cancel skill?

The skill stops the active process, deletes the associated git worktree, removes temporary branches, and updates the task status to 'cancelled' in your project logs.

What should I do if a process fails to terminate automatically?

If a standard cancel fails, use the --force flag. If the issue persists, you may need to manually check 'git worktree list' or clean the .gran-maestro/worktrees/ directory.

Can I cancel a specific sub-task without stopping everything?

Yes, by providing a specific Request ID (REQ-ID), you can target and cancel individual tasks or specific sub-tasks within a larger plan.

What is the purpose of the --force flag?

The --force flag bypasses the confirmation prompt and immediately terminates the process and cleans up resources, which is useful for automated scripts or stuck tasks.

Does it affect my main git repository?

It only removes temporary branches and worktrees created specifically for the Maestro agent's tasks, ensuring your main work and repository history remain intact.

生产力与工作流

Cancels active agent requests and automates the cleanup of development resources like git worktrees and temporary branches.

The Maestro Cancel skill provides a robust mechanism for stopping AI agent tasks in progress within the Maestro framework. It goes beyond simple process termination by automatically cleaning up the development environment, which includes deleting git worktrees and temporary branches associated with specific request IDs. This ensures a clean workspace and prevents resource leakage or environment clutter during agentic workflows. Additionally, it synchronizes project plan statuses to ensure the overall roadmap remains accurate even when individual tasks are aborted.
