# /pm:stop — Graceful Shutdown
## Shutdown Sequence
1. Read `.claude/pm-state.json` for active state
2. For each active worker:
- Send `abort` message via claude-peers: `{ "type": "abort", "task_id": "{id}", "reason": "PM shutting down" }`
- Log the abort
3. For each active VO agent:
- Send abort message
4. Wait up to 30 seconds for workers to acknowledge (responses arrive as <channel> events)
5. Update pm-state.json:
- Move active workers to a `shutdown_pending` state
- Record shutdown timestamp
6. Report summary:
- Workers notified: N
- Workers acknowledged: N
- Tasks that were in progress (may need re-queue on next /pm:start)
## Optional Cleanup
Ask user: "Would you like to clean up orphaned worktrees? This removes worktrees for tasks that haven't been merged."
If yes:
- Run `git worktree list`
- Cross-reference with merged branches
- Remove unmerged worktrees with confirmation for each
