​
Purpose

Cancel the currently running request for your session.

​
Syntax

/mineclawd stop

​
When to use it

  • A request is taking too long and you want to abort.
  • MineClawd is stuck in a tool-call loop.
  • You changed your mind about a request mid-generation.

​
What it does

  1. Marks the active request as cancelled.
  2. Cancels in-flight network requests to the LLM provider.
  3. Cleans up any pending ask-user-question prompts.
  4. Frees the session so you can send a new request.

​
GUI alternative

While a request is running, the overlay input bar shows a Stop button (circle with square icon) in place of the Send button. Clicking it has the same effect as running /mineclawd stop.

​
Behavior and limits

  • If no request is running, the command does nothing.
  • Partial responses that streamed before cancellation remain in the session history.
  • The session stays on the same active session after cancellation.

​
Common failures

  • No active request to cancel — no generation is currently running for your session.
