## From README

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 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?
