pan-kill skillA

pan-kill is agent-read markdown (skill) from eltmon/overdeck: pan kill <id> — stop a running agent (workspace and branch preserved).

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

# Stop Agent

## Overview

This skill guides you through gracefully stopping a running autonomous agent and cleaning up its resources.

## When to Use

- Agent is stuck or not making progress
- Need to reassign the work
- Agent completed work and should be stopped
- Emergency stop needed
- Freeing up system resources

## Quick Command

```bash
# Using pan CLI
pan kill ISSUE-123

# Or directly via tmux
tmux kill-session -t agent-ISSUE-123
```

## Workflow

### 1. Check Agent Status First

Before killing, understand what the agent is doing:

```bash
# List running agents
pan status

# Or via tmux
tmux list-sessions | grep agent

# See recent activity
tmux capture-pane -t agent-ISSUE-123 -p | tail -30
```

### 2. Graceful Shutdown (Recommended)

Give the agent a chance to save state:

```bash
# Send shutdown message (ALWAYS use pan tell, NOT raw tmux)
pan tell ISSUE-123 "Please save your progress to STATE.md and stop working."

# Wait for acknowledgment
sleep 10
tmux capture-pane -t agent-ISSUE-123 -p | tail -10

# Then kill the session
tmux kill-session -t agent-ISSUE-123
```
