Stop Running Workflow
Overview
This skill stops a running workflow execution. The workflow will be marked as TERMINATED and will not complete its remaining steps. Use this carefully as it cannot be undone.
When to Use This Skill
Cancelling a workflow that's no longer needed
Stopping a workflow that appears stuck
Terminating a long-running workflow to free resources
Aborting a workflow with incorrect input
Emergency stop during unexpected behavior
When NOT to Use This
If the workflow is about to complete (let it finish)
If you're unsure whether stopping is safe
For debugging (use npx output workflow debug instead)
If the workflow has side effects that may leave data in an inconsistent state
Instructions
Stop a Workflow
npx output workflow stop <workflowId>
Safety Considerations
Before stopping, consider:
Side effects: Has the workflow made changes that need to be rolled back?
Partial completion: Are there steps that completed with side effects?
Dependencies: Are other workflows or systems waiting on this result?
Recovery: Do you need to restart or clean up after stopping?
