pan-pause skillA
pan-pause is agent-read markdown (skill) from eltmon/overdeck: pan pause <id> [--reason <reason>] — persistently pause an agent and stop it if running.
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.
What the file says
# pan pause Run the command now: ```bash pan pause <issue-id> ``` ## Usage ```bash pan pause PAN-123 pan pause PAN-123 --reason "investigating bad loop" ``` ## What It Does `pan pause <id>` sets a persistent pause gate in the agent state file. If the agent is currently running, it also stops the agent so it cannot keep working while paused. Paused agents are skipped by auto-resume. A later `pan start <id>` refuses by default and tells the operator to run `pan unpause <id>` first; `pan start <id> --force` clears the pause gate and starts anyway. ## When to Use - Use `pan pause` when the agent should stay stopped across Deacon patrols and dashboard restarts. - Use `pan kill` instead when you only need to stop the current tmux session and still want normal auto-resume behavior. - Include `--reason` when the next operator needs to know why the gate exists. ## See Also - `pan unpause <id>` — clear the pause gate without spawning - `pan start <id>` — start after unpausing, or use `--force` to clear and start - `pan kill <id>` — stop a session without setting a persistent pause gate
