Gracefully stop the POF workflow while preserving state.

When to Use

•User needs to stop working
•Workflow is going in wrong direction
•Need to pause and reconsider
•Switching to different task

Process

1. Confirm Abort

markdown

## Abort POF Workflow?

**Current phase**: {phase}
**Current step**: {step}

This will:
- ✓ Save current state for later resume
- ✓ Preserve all decisions and ADRs
- ✓ Keep all generated code
- ✗ Stop any running agents

**To resume later**: Use `/pof:resume`

Confirm abort? (yes/no)

2. Save State

Update .claude/context/state.json:

json

{
  "currentPhase": "{current}",
  "status": "paused",
  "pausedAt": "{ISO timestamp}",
  "blockers": [],
  "lastCheckpoint": "{last}"
}

3. Cleanup

•Stop any background agents
•Ensure files are saved
•Commit any pending changes (ask first)

4. Confirm

markdown

## POF Workflow Paused

State saved. To resume:
```bash
# In this project directory
/pof:resume

Preserved

•Phase: {phase}
•Decisions: {N} recorded
•ADRs: {N} written
•Code: All changes saved

Not Committed

{List any uncommitted changes, if any}

code


## Hard Abort

If user wants to discard everything:

```markdown
## Hard Abort

⚠️ This will discard all POF context (but not code changes).

**Will delete:**
- `.claude/context/` directory
- Workflow state

**Will keep:**
- All code files
- ADRs in `docs/adr/`
- Git history

Are you sure? (yes, discard/no, soft abort)

If confirmed:

bash

rm -rf .claude/context/

Abort Reasons

Optionally record why:

markdown

**Why are you aborting?** (optional, helps improve workflow)
1. Need to stop for now
2. Going in wrong direction
3. Requirements changed
4. Other: {free text}

This can be logged for workflow improvement.
